Patent attributes
A metrology system may include a controller coupled to a scanning metrology tool that images a sample in motion along a scan direction. The controller may receive an image of a metrology target on the sample from the scanning metrology tool, where the metrology target comprises a first measurement group including cells distributed along a transverse direction orthogonal to the scan direction, and a second measurement group separated from the first measurement group along the scan direction including cells distributed along the transverse direction. The controller may further generate at least a first metrology measurement based on at least one of the cells in the first measurement group, and generate at least a second metrology measurement based on at least one of the cells in the second measurement group.
