It, can be with reference to the system weight of each structural parameters, to determine to filter out according to the wave band screening plant of the present embodiment
One or more spectral bands systemization after sensitivity and sensitivity after full wave systemization between ratio, so as to really
Fixed coefficient of the one or more spectral band when carrying out spectrum simulation so that can be to different wavelength regions in fitting
Coefficient targetedly set, so as to greatly improve the Stability and veracity of OCD measurement results.
