ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method and a carrier medium adapted to generate a set of process parameter values for a lithography process based upon both critical dimension and overlay effect analyses of process parameter value variations is provided. In some cases, the computer-implemented method and a carrier medium may be configured to select a set of process parameter values to collectively minimize the number critical dimension and overlay variation errors produced within an image fabricated from the lithography process.
