  • Offset determination method for measurement system matching
    Patent number: 7853345
    Abstract: Dynamic offset determination for each of a plurality of measurement systems for matching the systems is disclosed. One embodiment uses an artifact which is periodically run across the measurement system to be matched. Inputs for each run include the current offsets and historical data for the entire fleet and the new test measurement for the current measurement system under test. Evaluation based on exponentially weighted moving average and median calculation techniques may result in a new, reset offset for one or more measurement systems. The reset offset(s) is then applied to product measurements to nullify any tool matching issues.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 14, 2010
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
