Abstract
A method of processing measurement information in which a determined parameter value is determined at each of a plurality of measurement times including determining a predicted parameter value at each of the measurement times, determining an error range at each of the measurement times based on the predicted parameter value, obtaining a measured parameter value at each of the measurement times, and determining the determined parameter value based on the predicted parameter value, the measured parameter value, and the error range.

- and
- determining a third location value comprising a determined location value at the first measurement time based on the predicted location value, the measured location value, and the error range,
- wherein the predicted location value where the manufacturing equipment will be located at the first measurement time is obtained using a change in the predicted location value where the manufacturing equipment will be located at a second measurement time prior to performing the measuring at the first measurement time by extrapolating from a previously predicted location value.
A method of processing measurement information of a semiconductor device by a manufacturing equipment used to manufacture the semiconductor device, the method comprising:
