SMILE 2

SMILE 2 is the official image metrology software for the PSI EUV resist screening program. It was developed to provide a simple tool for the measurement of SEM images line and space patterns and contact arrays. SMILE can measure LWR, LER and correlation length of line/space images. It can measure contact-holes array images and display various contact-related metrics. SMILE is still under development and some of its features are still experimental.

Installers and source code download

The zip archives include the installer files, a few test images for lines/space patterns and contact/hole patterns and the corresponding parameter files. If the installer will check the presence of the MATLAB runtime and, if it doesn't find it, will prompt the user to download it before completing the installation process.
