Abstract

Enhancement of less dominant patterns for parametric wafer measurements. Dominant patterns are removed from the parametric pattern thereby revealing a less dominant pattern. The less dominant patterns can be used to identify root causes for yield loss that are not visible in the original parametric measurements.
