Application: System and method for estimating measurement uncertainty for characterization systems (Patent ID: US20240201637A1)
The patent filed by KLA Corp describes a characterization system that includes controllers with processors executing program instructions to train a machine learning-based library, generate characterization measurements, determine additional measurements using non-machine learning techniques, and compare them to monitor measurement uncertainty. The system aims to improve accuracy by adjusting the machine learning library based on comparisons and includes specific applications like overlay and angular tilt metrology.
The system also involves a method for training the machine learning library, generating measurements, determining additional measurements using non-machine learning techniques, and comparing them to monitor measurement uncertainty. The method includes adjusting the library based on comparisons and specific processes like calculating asymmetry signals and determining overlay functions. This approach enhances the accuracy and reliability of the characterization system, particularly in overlay and angular tilt measurements, by incorporating machine learning and non-machine learning techniques for comprehensive analysis and monitoring of measurement uncertainty.
