Abstract

Methods of generating wide process range libraries for metrology are described. For example, a method includes generating a first library having a first process range for a first parameter. A second library is generated having a second process range for the first parameter. The second process range is overlapping with the first process range. The second library is stitched to the first library to generate a third library having a third process range for the first parameter. The third process range is wider than each of the first and second process ranges.
