The present invention is generally directed to various methods of
controlling properties and characteristics of a gate insulation layer
based upon electrical test data, and a system for performing same. In one
illustrative embodiment, the method comprises performing at least one
electrical test on at least one semiconductor device, determining at
least one parameter of at least one process operation to be performed to
form at least one gate insulation layer on a subsequently formed
semiconductor device based upon electrical data obtained from the
electrical test, and performing at least one process operation comprised
of the determined parameter to form the gate insulation layer.
