Abstract:
A method and system are presented for use in controlling a process applied to a patterned structure having regions of different layered stacks. The method comprises: sequentially receiving measured data indicative of optical response of the structure being processed during a predetermined processing time, and generating a corresponding sequence of data pieces measured over time; and analyzing and processing the sequence of the data pieces and determining at least one main parameter of the structure. The analyzing and processing comprises: processing a part of said sequence of the data pieces and obtaining data indicative of one or more parameters of the structure; utilizing said data indicative of said one or more parameters of the structure and optimizing model data describing a relation between an optical response of the structure and one or more parameters of the structure; utilizing the optimized model data for processing at least a part of the sequence of the measured data pieces, and determining at least one parameters of the structure characterizing said process applied to the structure, and generating data indicative thereof.

Claim (Index 18):
A method according to  claim 1 , wherein said one or more parameters comprises one or more of the following: side wall angle, rounding, thickness of at least one layer in the stack.
