Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for enhancing an image, and more particularly an apparatus and method for enhancing an image through cross-talk cancellation in a multiple charged-particle beam inspection are disclosed. An improved method for enhancing an image includes acquiring a first image signal of a plurality of image signals from a detector of a multi-beam inspection system. The first image signal corresponds to a detected signal from a first region of the detector on which electrons of a first secondary electron beam and of a second secondary electron beam are incident. The method includes reducing, from the first image signal, cross-talk contamination originating from the second secondary electron beam using a relationship between the first image signal and beam intensities associated with the first secondary electron beam and the second secondary electron beam. The method further includes generating a first image corresponding to first secondary electron beam after reduction.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for enhancing an inspection image in a charged-particle beam inspection system. An improved method for enhancing an inspection image comprises acquiring a first image and a second image of multiple stacked layers of a sample that are taken with a first focal point and a second focal point, respectively, associating a first segment of the first image with a first layer among the multiple stacked layers and associating a second segment of the second image with a second layer among the multiple stacked layers, updating the first segment based on a first reference image corresponding to the first layer and updating the second segment based on a second reference image corresponding to the second layer, and combining the updated first segment and the updated second segment to generate a combined image including the first layer and the second layer.

Abstract: A method for correcting metrology data of a patterning process. The method includes obtaining (i) metrology data of a substrate subjected to the patterning process and (ii) a quality metric (e.g., a focus index) that quantifies a quality of the metrology data of the substrate; establishing a correlation between the quality metric and the metrology data; and determining a correction to the metrology data based on the correlation between the quality metric and the metrology data.

Abstract: A wafer inspection system includes a controller in communication with an electron-beam inspection tool. The controller includes circuitry to: acquire, via an optical imaging tool, coordinates of defects on a sample; set a Field of View (FoV) of the electron-beam inspection tool to a first size to locate a subset of the defects; determine a position of each defect of the subset of the defects based on inspection data generated by the electron-beam inspection tool during a scanning of the sample; adjust the coordinates of the defects based on the determined positions of the subset of the defects; and set the FoV of the electron-beam inspection tool to a second size to locate additional defects based on the adjusted coordinates.
