A processing method of processing a substrate is presented that includes: receiving pre-process data, wherein the pre-process data comprises a desired process result and actual measured data for the substrate; determining a required process result, wherein the required process result comprises the difference between the desired process result and the actual measured data; creating a new process recipe by modifying a nominal recipe obtained from a processing tool using at least one of a static recipe and a formula model, wherein the new process recipe provides a new process result that is approximately equal to the required process result; and sending the new process recipe to the processing tool and the substrate.
