Abstract
One embodiment provides a method for predicting the performance of a device based upon parameters of an underlying material, comprising: measuring a predetermined parameter of a material to be used in manufacturing the device; identifying, from a value generated from the measuring, a value of a property of the material; and determining a predicted performance of the device by correlating the value of the property to a performance value. Other aspects are described and claimed.

A method for predicting the performance of a device based upon parameters of an underlying material, comprising:
- measuring a predetermined parameter of a material to be used in manufacturing the device;
- identifying, from a value generated from the measuring, a value of a property of the material;
- and
- determining a predicted performance of the device by correlating the value of the property to a performance value.
An apparatus for predicting the performance of a device based upon parameters of an underlying material, comprising:
- a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
- measure a predetermined parameter of a material to be used in manufacturing the device;
- identify, from a value generated from the measuring, a value of a property of the material;
- and
- determine a predicted performance of the device by correlating the value of the property to a performance value.
A product for predicting the performance of a device based upon parameters of an underlying material, comprising:
- a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
- code that measures a predetermined parameter of a material to be used in manufacturing the device;
- code that identifies, from a value generated from the measuring, a value of a property of the material;
- and
- code that determines a predicted performance of the device by correlating the value of the property to a performance value.
