Abstract:
1. A process for generating a graphical user interface for analyzing wafer measurement data on a computer system, comprising: providing a graphical selection control for selecting a spatial region of a wafer map including wafer measurement data to be analyzed, wherein the spatial region of the wafer map is less than an entirety of the wafer map and is defined without regard to specific locations associated with wafer measurement data on the wafer map; providing a control for selecting a first set of wafer measurement data corresponding to a selected spatial region of the wafer map, wherein the first set of wafer measurement data defines a first operand in a mathematical operation; providing a control for selecting a second set of wafer measurement data also corresponding to the selected spatial region of the wafer map, wherein the second set of wafer measurement data defines a second operand in the mathematical operation; providing a control for selecting a mathematical operator to be applied between the first set of wafer measurement data and the second set of wafer measurement data in the mathematical operation; providing a control for performing the mathematical operation in accordance with the selected mathematical operator between the first set of wafer measurement data and the second set of wafer measurement data, the mathematical operation creating a result set of wafer data for the selected spatial region of the wafer map; and displaying the result set of wafer data.
