The measurements are performed quickly and with sufficient accuracy to enable yield improvement of an on-going semiconductor fabrication process flow. Process corrections are determined based on the measured values of parameters of interest and the corrections are communicated to the process tool to change one or more process control parameters of the process tool. In some examples, measurements are performed while the wafer is being processed to control the on-going fabrication process step. In some examples, X-ray scatterometry measurements are performed after a particular process step and process control parameters are updated for processing of future devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventors: Antonio Arion Gellineau, Thaddeus Gerard Dziura
