ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method for matching parameters of outputs generated by a first and second process. The first process generates a first output having a characteristic measurable by a first parameter, and the second process generates a second output having the characteristic measurable by a second parameter. A computer having a processing unit and memory is provided. The computer generates a first model of the first parameter for the first process and a second model of the second parameter for the second process. The computer generates a first simulated output of the first process using the first model. A correction, which is a function of the second model and which compensates for the effect of the second process on the second parameter, is applied to the first simulated output to obtain a corrected output. The second process is applied to the corrected output to generate with the computer thereby a third output matching the first parameter of the first output.
