Metrology plays an essential role in making sense of the world around us and helping ensure the safety of products and services we use each day. The different ways of how measurements can be studied, defined, compared, regulated and collected underscores the role that calibration plays in metrology.
Metrology can be divided into three subfields: scientific metrology, applied metrology, and legal metrology. Legal metrology is the end of the line, concerning regulatory requirements of well established measurements and measuring instruments for the protection of consumers and fair trade.
Quantum metrology is a rapidly advancing field that harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to enhance the precision and sensitivity of measurements beyond the limits of classical techniques. By ...

Correlation Study of Actual Temperature Profile and In-line Metrology Measurements for Within-Wafer Uniformity Improvement and Wafer Edge Yield Enhancement
Scientific metrology is concerned with the establishment of units of measurement, the development of new measurement methods, the realisation of measurement standards, and the transfer of traceability from these standards to users in a society. [2][3] This type of metrology is considered the top level of metrology which strives for the highest ...
Metrology is the science of measurement and its application. NIST's work in metrology focuses on advancing measurement science to enhance economic security and improve quality of life.
