Patent Classification: ["716", "055000"]

Abstract:
Methods and systems for automatically generating robust metrology targets which can accommodate a variety of lithography processes and process perturbations. Individual steps of an overall lithography process are modeled into a single process sequence to simulate the physical substrate processing. That process sequence drives the creation of a three-dimensional device geometry as a whole, rather than “building” the device geometry element-by-element.

Claim (Index 41):
The computer program product of  claim 40 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the computer system to provide run time estimation, based on the model, of the simulation process once the materials, the individual process steps, and the design parameters of the metrology targets are provided.
