摘要
Methods and systems for improved regularization associated with tomographically resolved image based measurements of semiconductor structures are presented herein. The regularizations described herein are based on measurement data and parameterization of a constrained voxel model that captures known process variations. The constrained voxel model is determined based on simplified geometric models, process models, or both, characterizing the structure under measurement. A constrained voxel model has dramatically fewer degrees of freedom compared to an unconstrained voxel model. The value associated with each voxel of the constrained voxel model depends on a relatively small number of independent variables. Selection of the independent variables is informed by knowledge of the structure and the underlying fabrication process. Regularization based on a constrained voxel model enables faster convergence and a more accurate reconstruction of the measured structure with less computational effort. This enables semiconductor measurements with reduced data acquisition requirements, and reduced measurement time.
