    Abstract: There is provided an inspection system for inspecting a specimen, an inspection unit capable to operate in conjunction with an inspection machine unit, a die layout clipping unit, methods of inspecting a specimen, and a method of providing a die layout clip. The method of inspecting a specimen comprises: obtaining location information indicative of coordinates of a potential defect of interest revealed in the specimen and of one or more inspected layers corresponding to the potential defect of interest; sending to a die layout clipping unit a first data indicative of the location information and dimensions of an inspection area containing the potential defect of interest; receiving a die layout clip generated in accordance with the first data; specifying at least one inspection algorithm of the inspection area using information comprised in the die layout clip; and enabling inspection of the inspection area using the specified inspection algorithm.

    Abstract: There are provided system and method of performing metrology operations related to a specimen. The method comprises: generating an examination recipe in accordance with a metrology application, the examination recipe specifying one or more metrology objects and one or more metrology operations related to the metrology application; obtaining an image-based representation of the specimen and a design-based representation of the specimen; mapping between the design-based representation of at least first metrology object and the image-based representation of at least first metrology object; and performing at least first metrology operation of the one or more metrology operations according to the examination recipe using the mapping, the at least first metrology operation specified as related to the at least first metrology object and to be performed on at least the image-based representation of the specimen.

    Abstract: An analysis system capable of classifying possible defects identified within an inspection image of an inspected object includes a storage device and a processor. The processor matches a template and a portion of the inspection image, thus giving rise to a matching portion of the inspection image. The inspection image is captured by an inspection tool. The processor associates, using a mask corresponding to the template and defining one or more segments within the matching portion of the inspection image, a potential defect with a segment defined by the mask and corresponding to a location of the potential defect, and classifies the potential defect in accordance with the segment defined by the mask within the matching portion of the inspection image and associated with the potential defect.
