Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting patterns from an image such as a design layout. The method includes obtaining an image (e.g., of a target layout) having a plurality of patterns; determining, based on pixel intensities within the image, a metric (e.g., entropy) indicative of an amount of information contained in one or more portions of the image; and selecting, based on the metric, a sub-set of the plurality of patterns from the one or more portions of the image having values of the metric within a specified range. The sub-set of patterns can be provided as training data for training a model associated with a patterning process.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for determining three-dimensional (3D) information of a structure of a patterned substrate. The 3D information can be determined using one or more models configured to generate 3D information (e.g., depth information) using only a single image of a patterned substrate. In a method, the model is trained by obtaining a pair of stereo images of a structure of a patterned substrate. The model generates, using a first image of the pair of stereo images as input, disparity data between the first image and a second image, the disparity data being indicative of depth information associated with the first image. The disparity data is combined with the second image to generate a reconstructed image corresponding to the first image. Further, one or more model parameters are adjusted based on the disparity data, the reconstructed image, and the first image.

Abstract: A method for applying a deposition model in a semiconductor manufacturing process. The method includes predicting a deposition profile of a substrate using the deposition model; and using the predicted deposition profile to enhance a metrology target design. The deposition model can be calibrated using experimental cross-section profile information from a layer of a physical substrate. In some embodiments, the deposition model is a machine-learning model, and calibrating the deposition model includes training the machine-learning model. The metrology target design may include an alignment metrology target design or an overlay metrology target design, for example.

Abstract: A method for training a machine learning model configured to predict a substrate image corresponding to a printed pattern of a substrate as measured via a metrology tool. The method involves obtaining a training data set including (i) metrology data of the metrology tool used to measure the printed pattern of the substrate, and (ii) a representation of a mask pattern employed for imaging the printed pattern on the substrate; and training, based on the training data set, a machine learning model to predict the substrate image of the substrate as measured by the metrology tool such that a cost function is improved, wherein the cost function includes a relationship between the predicted substrate image and the metrology data.

Abstract: An acoustic scatterometer has an acoustic source operable to project acoustic radiation onto a periodic structure and formed on a substrate. An acoustic detector is operable to detect the −1st acoustic diffraction order diffracted by the periodic structure and while discriminating from specular reflection (0th order). Another acoustic detector is operable to detect the +1st acoustic diffraction order diffracted by the periodic structure, again while discriminating from the specular reflection (0th order). The acoustic source and acoustic detector may be piezo transducers. The angle of incidence of the projected acoustic radiation and location of the detectors and are arranged with respect to the periodic structure and such that the detection of the −1st and +1st acoustic diffraction orders and discriminates from the 0th order specular reflection.

Abstract: A method for training a machine learning model includes obtaining a set of unpaired after-development (AD) images and after-etch (AE) images associated with a substrate. Each AD image in the set is obtained at a location on the substrate that is different from the location at which any of the AE images is obtained. The method further includes training the machine learning model to generate a predicted AE image based on the AD images and the AE images, wherein the predicted AE image corresponds to a location from which an input AD image of the AD images is obtained.
