Basic Operation of Weir TR Matching

Wafers from two separate bake plates shown

Provides a basic visual & statistical match comparison

Covariance matching over time/space

Compare static or sequential data For example; Bottom

CD to Temperature or Cumulative Energy on the substrate


Variable Culling

BCD based culling removed 309 data points to properly display wafer-graphic shown on left

Easily removed Intra-Field variation and improves accuracy

Original BCD data distribution

Command used to generate histogram

And then apply the wafer model


Individual graphics

Comparison of BCD variation for wafers generated on two separate hot-plate Post Exposure Bakes

XY Horizontal

XY Vertical
