Abstract: A method for process control of a semiconductor structure fabricated by a series of fabrication steps, the method comprising obtaining an image of the semiconductor structure indicative of at least two individual fabrication steps; wherein the image is generated by scanning the semiconductor structure with a charged particle beam and collecting signals emanating from the semiconductor structure; and processing, by a hardware processor, the image to determining a parameter of the semiconductor structure, wherein processing includes measuring step/s from among the fabrication steps as an individual feature.
