A parametric parameter is selected, which has an upper specification limit
and a lower specification limit. A storage percentile is determined. The
storage percentile is equal to a product yield percentage if the number
of the set of measurements greater than the upper specification limit
exceeds the number of the set of measurements lower than the lower
specification limit, and is equal to the product yield percentage
subtracted from one hundred percent if the number of the set of
measurements less than the lower specification limit exceeds the number
of the set of measurements greater than the upper specification limit. A
number of spatial regions on the wafer is designated. A first group of
measurements from the set of measurements is obtained for a first spatial
region of the spatial regions. A measurement closest to the storage
percentile is stored.
