    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for creating or performing a dynamic sampling scheme for a measurement process on wafers, which can be used to increase accuracy of process monitoring and control.SOLUTION: A method for creating a dynamic sampling scheme for a process during which measurement is performed on wafers includes performing measurement on all of wafers in at least one lot at all measurement spots. The method also includes determining an optimal sampling scheme, an enhanced sampling scheme, a reduced sampling scheme, and thresholds for the dynamic sampling scheme for the process on the basis of results of the measurement. The thresholds correspond to measurements at which the optimal sampling scheme, the enhanced sampling scheme, and the reduced sampling scheme for the measurement are to be used for the process.
