Abstract

See full text

In a metrology sampling method, various index values that can detect various status changes of a process tool (such as maintenance operation, parts changing, parameter adjustment, etc.), and/or information abnormalities of the process tool (such as abnormal process data, parameter drift/shift, abnormal metrology data, etc.) appear in a manufacturing process are applied to develop an intelligent sampling decision (ISD) scheme for reducing sampling rate while VM accuracy is still sustained. The indices includes a reliance Index (RI), a global similarity index (GSI), a process data quality index (DQIX) and a metrology data quality index (DQIy).
