Abstract

A computing system may include a virtual cross metrology engine configured to construct a given virtual metrology model. The given virtual metrology model may take, as inputs, process parameters applied for the given step of a semiconductor fabrication process. The virtual cross metrology engine may also be configured to construct a subsequent virtual metrology model, and the subsequent step is performed after the given step in the semiconductor fabrication process. Doing so may include determining inputs for the subsequent virtual metrology model from a combination of the process parameters applied for the given step of the semiconductor fabrication process, process parameters applied for the subsequent step of the semiconductor fabrication process, and a wafer value for the given step of the semiconductor fabrication process that the given virtual metrology model is configured to predict.
