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.
