    摘要: The presently disclosed subject matter provides a method for aligning an objective and a pupil relay module of a microscope. The objective is configured to introduce an objective aberration component and the pupil relay module is configured to have a corresponding pupil relay module aberration component such that the pupil relay module aberration component compensates said objective aberration component when the pupil relay module is accurately aligned with the objective. The method comprises: (a) measuring a combined aberration indicator indicative of a combined aberration resulting from the optical combination of the objective and pupil relay module; (b) adjusting an optical alignment of the objective and pupil relay module based on the measured combined aberration indicator; (c) iterating (a) and (b) until the measured combined aberration indicator reaches a predetermined combined aberration indicator target thereby achieving accurate alignment.

    摘要: An indication of a sequence of cleaning operations associated with a substrate process at a manufacturing system is received. An indication of one or more criteria that trigger initiation of the sequence of operations during a process at one or more manufacturing equipment of the manufacturing system is also received. A set of instructions corresponding to the sequence of operations is generated. In response to a detection that at least one of the one or more criteria is satisfied, the generated set of instructions are executed to initiate the sequence of operations at the one or more manufacturing equipment.

    摘要: A method for evaluating an impedance related value of a structure of a sample, the method includes: (i) performing a first illumination iteration that includes charging the structure with an illumination iteration charge; (ii) performing a second illumination iteration that includes imaging the structure to provide an image of the structure; a value of the illumination iteration charge and a value of a time difference between step (i) and step (ii) are determined to introduce a dependency between an impedance of the structure and the image of the structure; wherein steps (i) and (ii) are executed using an electron beam, and (iii) determining the impedance related value of the structure based on the image of the structure. There may be three or more values of the impedance related value.

    摘要: There is provided a system and method for examining a semiconductor specimen. The method includes obtaining a runtime image of the specimen, and providing the runtime image as an input to an end-to-end (E2E) learning model to process, thereby obtaining, as an output of the E2E learning model, runtime measurement data specific for a metrology application. The E2E learning model is previously trained for the metrology application using a training set comprising a plurality of training images of the specimen and respective ground truth measurement data associated therewith, and one or more cost functions specifically configured to evaluate, for the plurality of training images and corresponding training measurement data outputted by the E2E learning model, one or more metrology benchmarks from a group comprising precision, correlation, and matching.
