The invention provides a method of measuring a standard critical dimension feature and insuring that this feature is representative of cross-chip average critical dimension size in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. The method includes the steps of incorporating a cluster of CD features, determining a cross-chip average feature size, selecting the CD feature which is closest in size to the cross-chip average CD feature size as the standard feature for in-line measurement, and implementing the CD measurement of the appropriate feature on production wafers.
