A method and apparatus measure properties of two layers of a damascene
structure (e.g. a silicon wafer during fabrication), and use the two
measurements to identify a location as having voids. The two measurements
may be used in any manner, e.g. compared to one another, and voids are
deemed to be present when the two measurements diverge from each other.
In response to the detection of voids, a process parameter used in
fabrication of the damascene structure may be changed, to reduce or
eliminate voids in to-be-formed structures.
