    Abstract: Metrology data from a semiconductor treatment system is transformed using multivariate analysis. In particular, a set of metrology data measured or simulated for one or more substrates treated using the treatment system is obtained. One or more essential variables for the obtained set of metrology data is determined using multivariate analysis. A first metrology data measured or simulated for one or more substrates treated using the treatment system is obtained. The first obtained metrology data is not one of the metrology data in the set of metrology data earlier obtained. The first metrology data is transformed into a second metrology data using the one or more of the determined essential variables.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A profile model for use in optical metrology of structures in a wafer is selected based on a template having one or more parameters including characteristics of process and modeling attributes associated with a structure in a wafer. The process includes performing a profile modeling process to generate a profile model of a wafer structure based on a template having one or more parameters including characteristics of process and modeling attributes. The profile model includes a set of geometric parameters associated with the dimensions of the structure. The generated profile model may further be tested against termination criteria and the one or more parameters modified. The process of performing a modeling process to generate a profile model and testing the generated profile model may be repeated until the termination criteria are met.

    Abstract: To determine one or more features of an in-die structure on a semiconductor wafer, a correlation is determined between one or more features of a test structure to be formed on a test pad and one or more features of a corresponding in-die structure. A measured diffraction signal measured off the test structure is obtained. One or more features of the test structure are determined using the measured diffraction signal. The one or more features of the in-die structure are determined based on the one or more determined features of the test structure and the determined correlation.

    Abstract: A weighting function is obtained to enhance measured diffraction signals used in optical metrology. To obtain the weighting function, a measured diffraction signal is obtained. The measured diffraction signal was measured from a site on a wafer using a photometric device. A first weighting function is defined based on noise that exists in the measured diffraction signal. A second weighting function is defined based on accuracy of the measured diffraction signal. A third weighting function is defined based on sensitivity of the measured diffraction signal. A fourth weighting function is defined based on one or more of the first, second, and third weighting functions.
