Summary:Embodiments described herein generally relate to a method of updating a software routine with subprograms and subroutines that can be accessed by an end user on an as-needed basis. In one embodiment, a method of providing a control function for a semiconductor process to a pre-existing software architecture is described. The method includes providing a plug-in to the pre-existing software architecture, providing an upgrade library file having the control function therein, and uploading the upgrade library file to the pre-existing software architecture at the plug-in to facilitate process control of the semiconductor process.
