SuMMIT (SEM Metrology Interactive Toolbox) is a rigorous, reproducible, powerful and user-friendly off-line analysis package for line-edge roughness/line-width roughness (LER/LWR) processing and critical dimension (CD) analysis of SEM, as well as other images. This feature-rich analysis program integrates a variety of visualization tools and numerous built-in processing algorithms into a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI).
SuMMIT is also capable of performing large unattended batch tasks, allowing large volumes of data to be analyzed quickly.
A comprehensive description of SuMMIT and its capabilities can be found on our software Product page under Features.

As critical dimensions are pushed ever smaller, LER and LWR are of increasing concern and importance. The task of understanding and minimizing line-edge roughness requires repeatable, accurate and insightful characterization of the properties of this roughness. The SuMMIT software package has been written exclusively to facilitate this task.
• Going beyond the conventional characterization of LER as a single 3-sigma deviation number, SuMMIT provides a wealth of integrated spectral analysis and visualizations techniques
• Allows for exporting of detailed analysis results to .csv and Matlab files for further manipulation, comparison and display
• Supports batch processing of large volumes of data, enabling applications such as large parametric studies, large sample studies for the generation of statistically significant results and LER-based process-window studies
• SuMMIT Includes scripting capabilities that enable most program operations to be automated. Scripts can also be run from the command line, allowing SuMMIT calculations to be readily integrated into a larger measurement stream.• SuMMIT was designed with flexibility and automation in mind and has had the benefit of four years of real-world use in various organizations. Not all algorithms are optimal for all SEM images; therefore, SuMMIT provides a myriad of algorithms to choose from, allowing the user to tune automated line-finding algorithms, as well as the edge-detection and LER calculation algorithms.
• With the optional Developer's Kit, you can customize SuMMIT to meet even more specific metrology needs
• Because measurement consistency is of the utmost importance, SuMMIT includes a recipe tool that facilitates the definition, storage and distribution of metrology recipes
