    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting and controlling pattern quality data (e.g., critical dimension and/or pattern defectivity) in patterned wafers using patterned wafer geometry (PWG) measurements are disclosed. Correlations between PWG measurements and pattern quality data measurements may be established, and the established correlations may be utilized to provide pattern quality data predictions for a given wafer based on geometry measurements obtained for the give wafer. The predictions produced may be provided to a lithography tool, which may utilize the predictions to correct focus and/or title errors that may occur during the lithography process.
