ABSTRACT:
By performing a two-step approach for predicting a quality distribution during the fabrication of semiconductor devices, enhanced flexibility and efficiency may be accomplished. The two-step approach first models electrical characteristics on the basis of measurement data, such as inline measurement data, and, in a second step, an appropriate distribution for the electrical characteristics may be established, thereby obtaining modeled wafer sort data which may then be used for predicting a quality distribution of the semiconductor devices under consideration.
