Process Control Monitoring (PCM) as it stands for is the procedures followed to obtain detailed information about the process used. PCM is associated with designing and fabricating of special structures that can monitor technology specific parameters such as Vth in CMOS and Vbe in Bipolars. These structures are placed across the wafer at specific locations along with the chip produced so that a closer look into the process variation is possible.
