## Abstract

The present application discloses an implanting system. The implanting system includes an etch module executing a first implanting recipe on a first wafer to turn a first wafer state of the first wafer to a second wafer state; a first measurement module collecting the second wafer state of the first wafer to generate a first set of data; and an artificial intelligence module coupled to the first measurement module and the etch module, analyzing the first set of data and update the first implanting recipe to a second implanting recipe when the first set of data is not within a predetermined range. The artificial intelligence module is configured for generating the second implanting recipe taking into consideration at least one of an implanting rate of the second wafer, a rate of rotation of the second wafer, and a tilt angle of the second wafer.
