Abstract:
A method for monitoring a first nanometric structure formed by a multiple patterning process, the method may include performing a first plurality of measurements to provide a first plurality of measurement results; wherein the performing of the first plurality of measurements comprises illuminating first plurality of locations of a first sidewall of the first nanometric structure by oblique charged particle beams of different tilt angles; and processing, by a hardware processor, the first plurality of measurement results to determine a first attribute of the first nanometric structure.

Claim (Index 9):
A non-transitory computer storage medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:\n receiving a first plurality of measurement results that were obtained from a first plurality of measurements corresponding to an illumination of a first plurality of locations of a first sidewall of a first nanometric structure with oblique charged particle beams at different tilt angles; and processing the first plurality of measurement results to determine a first attribute of the first nanometric structure based on a difference between a measurement of the first plurality of measurements corresponding to an illumination of a particular location of the first sidewall of the first nanometric structure and another measurement of the first plurality of measurements corresponding to an illumination of another location of the first sidewall of the first nanometric structure.
