Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for measuring misregistration between different layers of a semiconductor device, the method including providing a set of pupil inaccuracy scalable basis elements (PISBEs) relating to a plurality of patterned semiconductor device wafers (PSDWs), generating a single pupil image of a site on a PSDW, the PSDW being one of the plurality of PSDWs, by taking a single measurement of the site, the single pupil image including a plurality of site-specific pixels, calculating a set of site-specific pupil inaccuracy scalable basis element scaling factors (PISBESFs) for the single pupil image using the set of PISBEs and the plurality of site-specific pixels and calculating a site-specific misregistration value (SSMV) using the set of PISBEs and the set of site-specific PISBESFs.
