Computer-aided recipe generation for LPCVD reactors

A computer-aided-design (CAD) system which has been developed to assist the process engineer in choosing the best compromise between product and equipment performance is described. A formal, systematic methodology that facilities the task of recipe design for low pressure chemical-vapor-deposition (LPCVD) reactors is discussed. Recipe generation via interactive response surface exploration and automatic recipe generation via numerical optimization are discussed.<
