Abstract: Autoencoder-based, semi-supervised approaches are used for anomaly detection. Defects on semiconductor wafers can be discovered using these approaches. The model can include a variational autoencoder, such as a one that includes ladder networks. Defect-free or clean images can be used to train the model that is later used to discover defects or other anomalies.

Abstract: Methods and systems for training a machine learning model using synthetic defect images are provided. One system includes one or more components executed by one or more computer subsystems. The one or more components include a graphical user interface (GUI) configured for displaying one or more images for a specimen and image editing tools to a user and for receiving input from the user that includes one or more alterations to at least one of the images using one or more of the image editing tools. The component(s) also include an image processing module configured for applying the alteration(s) to the at least one image thereby generating at least one modified image and storing the at least one modified image in a training set. The computer subsystem(s) are configured for training a machine learning model with the training set in which the at least one modified image is stored.

Abstract: Methods and systems for classifying defects detected on a specimen with an adaptive automatic defect classifier are provided. One method includes creating a defect classifier based on classifications received from a user for different groups of defects in first lot results and a training set of defects that includes all the defects in the first lot results. The first and additional lot results are combined to create cumulative lot results. Defects in the cumulative lot results are classified with the created defect classifier. If any of the defects are classified with a confidence below a threshold, the defect classifier is modified based on a modified training set that includes the low confidence classified defects and classifications for these defects received from a user. The modified defect classifier is then used to classify defects in additional cumulative lot results.

Abstract: Defect classification includes acquiring one or more images of a specimen, receiving a manual classification of one or more training defects based on one or more attributes of the one or more training defects, generating an ensemble learning classifier based on the received manual classification and the attributes of the one or more training defects, generating a confidence threshold for each defect type of the one or more training defects based on a received classification purity requirement, acquiring one or more images including one or more test defects, classifying the one or more test defects with the generated ensemble learning classifier, calculating a confidence level for each of the one or more test defects with the generated ensemble learning classifier and reporting one or more test defects having a confidence level below the generated confidence threshold via the user interface device for manual classification.

Abstract: Defect classification includes acquiring one or more images of a specimen including multiple defects, grouping the defects into groups of defect types based on the attributes of the defects, receiving a signal from a user interface device indicative of a first manual classification of a selected number of defects from the groups, generating a classifier based on the first manual classification and the attributes of the defects, classifying, with the classifier, one or more defects not manually classified by the manual classification, identifying the defects classified by the classifier having the lowest confidence level, receiving a signal from the user interface device indicative of an additional manual classification of the defects having the lowest confidence level, determining whether the additional manual classification identifies one or more additional defect types not identified in the first manual classification, and iterating the procedure until no new defect types are found.
