Summary: | A method, system and computer program product for determination of a metrology target design, comprising generating a first candidate target design for a selected design type compatible with one or more metrology tools or and a set of boundaries for a simulation range Measurement of the first target design with the one or more metrology tools within the boundaries of the simulation range is simulated for two or more measurement settings to generate one or more performance metrics. Simulating the measurement takes into account layer properties of one or more layers in a stack profile. The optimal design is determined from at least the performance metrics based on one or more selection criteria and then sent or stored. |
