Thickness compensation by modulation of number of deposition cycles as a function of chamber accumulation for wafer to wafer film thickness matching

Methods and apparatuses for performing atomic layer deposition are provided. A method may include determining an amount of accumulated deposition material currently on an interior region of a deposition chamber interior, wherein the amount of accumulated deposition material changes over the course of processing a batch of substrates; applying the determined amount of accumulated deposition material to a relationship between a number of ALD cycles required to achieve a target deposition thickness, and a variable representing an amount of accumulated deposition material, wherein the applying returns a compensated number of ALD cycles for producing the target deposition thickness given the amount of accumulated deposition material currently on the interior region of the deposition chamber interior; and performing the compensated number of ALD cycles on one or more substrates in the batch.
