    摘要: The optimization of an optical metrology model for use in measuring a wafer structure is evaluated. An optical metrology model having metrology model variables, which includes profile model parameters of a profile model, is developed. One or more goals for metrology model optimization are selected. One or more profile model parameters to be used in evaluating the one or more selected goals are selected. One or more metrology model variables to be set to fixed values are selected. One or more selected metrology model variables are set to fixed values. One or more termination criteria for the one or more selected goals are set. The optical metrology model is optimized using the fixed values for the one or more selected metrology model variables. Measurements for the one or more selected profile model parameters are obtained using the optimized optical metrology model. A determination is then made as to whether the one or more termination criteria are met by the obtained measurements.

    摘要: A profile model for use in optical metrology of structures in a wafer is selected, the profile model having a set of geometric parameters associated with the dimensions of the structure. The set of geometric parameters is selected to a set of optimization parameters. The number of optimization parameters within the set of optimization parameters is less than the number of geometric parameters within the set of geometric parameters. A set of selected optimization parameters is selected from the set of optimization parameters. The parameters of the set of selected geometric parameters are used as parameters of the selected profile model. The selected profile model is tested against one or more termination criteria.

    摘要: To generate sets of coefficients for use in optical metrology of semiconductor structures, at least three optical metrology signals for a set of parameters are obtained. The optical metrology signals are indicative of light diffracted from a semiconductor structure, and a value of at least one parameter of the set of parameters is varied to produce each signal. Functional relationships between the at least three optical metrology signals are obtained, the functional relationships including at least three coefficient values. At least three sets of coefficients from the at least three coefficient values of the functional relationships are determined.
