ABSTRACT:
A plasma processing control system and method which can suppress influences caused by disturbances. The control system includes a plasma processor for performing processing operation over a sample accommodated within a vacuum processing chamber, a sensor for monitoring process parameters during processing operation of the plasma processor, a processed-result estimation model for estimating a processed result on the basis of a monitored output of the sensor and a preset processed-result prediction equation, and an optimum recipe calculation model for calculating correction values of processing conditions on the basis of an estimated result of the processed-result estimation model in such a manner that the processed result becomes a target value. The plasma processor is controlled on the basis of a recipe generated by the optimum recipe calculation model.
