System and method for determining line widths of free-standing structures resulting from a semiconductor manufacturing process

摘要

A apparatus and method for determining minimum line widths of free standing structures built by a semiconductor (S/C) manufacturing process. Free standing structures are created in a semiconductor device and subjected to an aerosol process which is tuned and centered with respect to a critical line width for the free standing structures. The S/C manufacturing process is tuned responsive to failure of free standing structures of sub-critical line widths.
