    Abstract: There is provided a system comprising a processor configured to obtain a set of images of a semiconductor specimen, (1) for an image of the set of images, select at least one algorithmic module MS out of a plurality of algorithmic modules, (2) feed the image to MS to obtain data DMS representative of one or more defects in the image, (3) obtain a supervised feedback regarding rightness of data DMS, (4) repeat (1) to (3) for a next image until a completion criterion is met, wherein an algorithmic module selected at (1) is different for at least two different images of the set of images, generate, based on the supervised feedback, a score for each of a plurality of the algorithmic modules, and use scores to identify one or more algorithmic modules Mbest as the most adapted for providing data representative of one or more defects in the set of images.

    Abstract: There is provided a method of defect detection on a specimen and a system thereof. The method includes: obtaining a runtime image representative of at least a portion of the specimen; processing the runtime image using a supervised model to obtain a first output indicative of the estimated presence of first defects on the runtime image; processing the runtime image using an unsupervised model component to obtain a second output indicative of the estimated presence of second defects on the runtime image; and combining the first output and the second output using one or more optimized parameters to obtain a defect detection result of the specimen.
