    Abstract: A method of obtaining focus and dose data that requires no special marks and that uses images of in-die features is described. A focus/dose matrix wafer is created. Dimensions such as critical dimension (CD), CD uniformity (CDU), edge placement error (EPE), etc., at in-die locations are measured using a charged particle inspection system having a large field of view. Machine learning or regression methods are used to determine a relationship between focus and dose and the measured data. The same dimensions can then be measured on a production wafer and the relationship can be utilized to determine the focus and dose for the production wafer.
