    摘要: Dynamic removal of correlation of highly-correlated parameters for optical metrology is described. An embodiment of a method includes determining a model of a structure, the model including a set of parameters; performing optical metrology measurement of the structure, including collecting spectra data on a hardware element; during the measurement of the structure, dynamically removing correlation of two or more parameters of the set of parameters, an iteration of the dynamic removal of correlation including: generating a Jacobian matrix of the set of parameters, applying a singular value decomposition of the Jacobian matrix, selecting a subset of the set of parameters, and computing a direction of the parameter search based on the subset of parameters. If the model does not converge, performing one or more additional iterations of the dynamic removal of correlation until the model converges; and if the model does converge, reporting the results of the measurement.

    摘要: Automatic wavelength or angle pruning for optical metrology is described. An embodiment of a method for automatic wavelength or angle pruning for optical metrology includes determining a model of a structure including a plurality of parameters; designing and computing a dataset of wavelength-dependent or angle-dependent data for the model; storing the dataset in a computer memory; performing with a processor an analysis of the dataset for the model including applying an outlier detection technology on the dataset, and identifying any data outliers, each data outlier being a wavelength or angle; and, if any data outliers are identified in the analysis of the dataset of the model, removing the wavelengths or angles corresponding to the data outliers from the dataset to generate a modified dataset, and storing the modified dataset in the computer memory.

    摘要: Methods of library generation with derivatives for optical metrology are described. For example, a method of generating a library for optical metrology includes determining a function of a parameter data set for one or more repeating structures on a semiconductor substrate or wafer. The method also includes determining a first derivative of the function of the parameter data set. The method also includes providing a spectral library based on both the function and the first derivative of the function.

    摘要: Approaches for accurate neural network training for library-based critical dimension (CD) metrology are described. Approaches for fast neural network training for library-based CD metrology are also described. In an example, a method includes optimizing a threshold for a principal component analysis (PCA) of a spectrum data set to provide a principal component (PC) value, estimating a training target for one or more neural networks, training the one or more neural networks based both on the training target and on the PC value provided from optimizing the threshold for the PCA, and providing a spectral library based on the one or more trained neural networks.
