Abstract: Semiconductor device metrology including creating a time-domain representation of wavelength-domain measurement data of light reflected by a patterned structure of a semiconductor device, selecting an earlier-in-time portion of the time-domain representation that excludes a later-in-time portion of the time-domain representation, and determining one or more measurements of one or more parameters of interest of the patterned structure by performing model-based processing using the earlier-in-time portion of the time-domain representation.
