    Abstract: Systems and methods for in-die metrology using target design patterns are provided. These systems and methods include selecting a target design pattern based on design data representing the design of an integrated circuit, providing design data indicative of the target design pattern to enable design data derived from the target design pattern to he added to second design data, wherein the second design data is based on the first design data. Systems and methods can further include causing structures derived from the second design data to be printed on a wafer, inspecting the structures on the wafer using a charged-particle beam tool, and identifying metrology data or process defects based on the inspection. In some embodiments the systems and methods further include causing the charged-particle beam tool, the second design data, a scanner, or photolithography equipment to be adjusted based on the identified metrology data or process defects.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of automatically obtaining training images to train a machine learning model that improves image quality. The method may comprise analyzing a plurality of patterns of data relating to a layout of a product to identify a plurality of training locations on a sample of the product to use in relation to training the machine learning model. The method may comprise obtaining a first image having a first quality for each of the plurality of training locations, and obtaining a second image having a second quality for each of the plurality of training locations, the second quality being higher than the first quality. The method may comprise using the first image and the second image to train the machine learning model.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for image enhancement are disclosed. A method for enhancing an image may include acquiring a first scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image at a first resolution. The method may also include acquiring a second SEM image at a second resolution. The method may further include providing an enhanced image by using the first SEM image as a reference to enhance the second SEM image. The enhanced image may be provided by using one or more features extracted from the first image to enhance the second SEM image, or using the first SEM image as a reference to numerically enhance the second SEM image.
