ABSTRACT:
Broadly speaking, a method for controlling a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process to obtain a desired result is provided. More specifically, the method incorporates a first neural network to estimate a CMP result and a second neural network to tune CMP control parameters used to obtain the CMP result. The second neural network tunes the CMP control parameters to minimize a difference between the CMP result and a desired CMP result.
