Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for fabricating and measuring physical features of a semiconductor device structure. An exemplary method of fabricating a semiconductor device structure involves obtaining raw measurement data for a wafer of semiconductor material from a metrology tool and adjusting a measurement model utilized by a metrology tool based at least in part on the raw measurement data and a value for a design parameter. The wafer has that value for the design parameter and an attribute of the semiconductor device structure fabricated thereon, wherein the measurement model is utilized by the metrology tool to convert the raw measurement data to a measurement value for the attribute.
