    Abstract: There are provided system and method of generating an examination recipe usable for examining a specimen, the method comprising: capturing images from dies and obtaining noise map indicative of noise distribution on the images; receiving design data representative of a plurality of design groups each having the same design pattern; calculating a group score for each given design group, the group score calculated based on the noise data associated with the given design group and a defect budget allocated for area of the given design group; providing segmentation related to the dies, comprising: associating design groups with segmentation labels indicative of different noise levels based on the group score, thereby obtaining a set of die segments each corresponding to one or more design groups associated with the same segmentation label and segmentation configuration data; and generating an examination recipe using the segmentation configuration data.

    Abstract: There is provided an inspection method capable of classifying defects detected on a production layer of a specimen. The method comprises: obtaining input data related to the detected defects; processing the input data using a decision algorithm associated with the production layer and specifying two or more classification operations and a sequence thereof; and sorting the processed defects in accordance with predefined bins, wherein each bin is associated with at least one classification operation, wherein at least one classification operation sorts at least part of the processed defects to one or more classification bins to yield finally classified defects, and wherein each classification operation, excluding the last one, sorts at least part of the processed defects to be processed by one or more of the following classification operations.

    Abstract translation: 提供了能够对在样品的生产层上检测到的缺陷进行分类的检查方法。 该方法包括:获取与检测到的缺陷相关的输入数据; 使用与生产层相关联的决策算法处理输入数据并指定两个或更多个分类操作及其序列; 以及根据预定义的箱分类处理的缺陷,其中每个仓与至少一个分类操作相关联,其中至少一个分类操作将至少部分经处理的缺陷排序到一个或多个分类箱以产生最终分类的缺陷,以及 其中除了最后一个之外的每个分类操作通过以下分类操作中的一个或多个对待处理的缺陷的至少一部分进行排序。
