Abstract
A system and methods for OCD metrology are provided including receiving reference parameters, receiving multiple sets of measured scatterometric data, and receiving an optical model designed to generate one or more sets of model scatterometric data according to a set of pattern parameters, and training a machine learning model by applying, during the training, target features including the reference parameters, and by applying input features including the sets of measured scatterometric data and the sets of model scatterometric data, such that the trained machine learning model estimates new wafer pattern parameters from subsequently sets of measured scatterometric data.
