Abstract

Parameters of a metrology tool may be determined by measuring a dimension of a feature on a calibration standard with the tool and using the measured dimension and a known traceable value of the dimension to determine a value for the parameter. If the dimension of the feature on the standard has a known traceable value, different standards may be used to calibrate different tools.
