Zusammenfassung:	A method of determining the accuracy error in scanning signals of a semiconductor line width metrology device comprises the steps of creating a frequency signature template of a patterned feature formed on a semiconductor layer with a line width metrology measurement device that is in nominal operating condition. Another patterned feature similar to the first patterned feature is scanned and the waveform signal is generated of the line width patterned feature. The waveform signal is processed and converted into a frequency signature which is compared with the frequency signature template.
