Abstract

A system and methods for OCD metrology are provided including receiving training data for training an OCD machine learning (ML) model, including multiple pairs of corresponding sets of scatterometric data and reference parameters. For each of the pairs, one or more corresponding outlier metrics are by calculated and corresponding outlier thresholds are applied whether a given pair is an outlier pair. The OCD MIL model is then trained with the training data less the outlier pairs.
