AMAT findings on virtual metrology

(August 2, 2010) — In this video interview with senior technical editor Debra Vogler from SEMICON West 2010, James Moyne, Applied Materials (AMAT), highlights a new technology: virtual metrology. Virtual metrology, on which Moyne presented at ASMC/SEMICON, enables tighter semi fab control using line data analysis. The summarized data is synched with real metrology data. Virtual metrology, a technique that has been around for a while, is now adaptive. Moyne explains.
