Process control based on an estimated process result
   
   

A method and apparatus is provided for a process control based on an estimated process result. The method comprises processing a workpiece using a processing tool, receiving trace data associated with the processing of the workpiece from the processing tool and estimating at least one process result of the workpiece based on at least a portion of the received trace data. The method further comprises adjusting processing of a next workpiece based on the estimated at least one process result.
