Abstract:
A method, and associated system, for determining an optimized set of measurement locations for measurement of a parameter related to a structure applied to a substrate by a semiconductor manufacturing process. The method includes determining a first set of parameter values from a first set of measurements of first structures across a first plurality of locations, for example from target measurements and determining a second set of parameter values from a second set of measurements of second structures across a second plurality of locations, for example using an SEM or e-beam tool on product structures. A correlation is determined between the first set of parameter values and the second set of parameter values and used to determine the optimized set of measurement locations.

Claim (Index 4):
The method as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein determining a difference comprises determining a set of differences from corresponding pairs of values from the first set of parameter values and the second set of parameter values, wherein each corresponding pair of values comprises values from a pair of corresponding measurement locations from the first plurality of measurement locations and second plurality of measurement locations respectively.
