1. Development Phase
A range of production runs is used to develop an empirical
prediction model that correla es actual measurements with
process data.
The model is refined until the Dredicted measurement values
show a reasonable correlation.

iii
Large number of procesjs variables need to be
managed to provide prediction of a few quality
parameters .(which process variables are most
important?).
Benefits
Reduction of metrology costs.
Control, at the single prodtict level, reduces within-lot
variability thus increasing process capability index.
Reduces cycle time.
Eliminates stand-alone metrology steps when the results can
be accurately predicted.
Provides cost-effective alternative to integrated metrology
for processes that exhibit hard to predict variation within the
process run.
Lowers the number of sampled products thus increasing
production efficiency.
Prediction model transparen :y (Ex. Being updated after
maintenance).
