Abstract: Methods include acquiring a series of images or spectra of a volume of a model sample, reconstructing a 3D image of the volume of the model sample using the series of images, constructing a 3D model of the volume of the model sample by forming a segmentation of the reconstructed 3D image and fitting one or more primitive geometrical shapes to the segmentation, acquiring test sample images or spectra, and measuring test sample critical dimensions using the constructed 3D model to guide analysis of test spectra or images. Additional methods and related systems are disclosed, optical critical dimension (OCD) methods and systems.
