Abstract

A method for calibrating a resist model. The method includes: generating a modeled resist contour of a resist structure based on a simulated aerial image of the resist structure and parameters of the resist model, and predicting a metrology contour of the resist structure from the modeled resist contour based on information of an actual resist structure obtained by a metrology device. The method includes adjusting one or more of the parameters of the resist model based on a comparison of the predicted metrology contour and an actual metrology contour of the actual resist structure obtained by the metrology device.
