摘要: A method includes obtaining at least one 2-D image dataset of semiconductor structures formed on a wafer including one or more defects during a wafer run of a wafer using a predefined fabrication process. The method also includes determining, based on at least one machine-learning algorithm trained on prior knowledge of the fabrication process and based on the at least one 2-D image dataset, one or more process deviations of the wafer run from the predefined fabrication process as a root cause of the one or more defects. A 3-D image dataset may be determined as a hidden variable.

摘要: Methods for determining one or more quality or size parameters of a structure in a semiconductor product, on the basis of an image of the semiconductor product which was generated with the aid of charged particles which have been radiated onto the semiconductor product, include: providing the image of the semiconductor product; applying the provided image to a machine-learning-based method such as, e.g., an artificial neural network which has been trained with training images of semiconductor products and which is configured to generate an output parameter from the provided image; and determining the size parameter of the structure on the basis of the output parameter.

摘要: A method includes obtaining an image data set that depicts semiconductor components, and applying a hierarchical bricking to the image data set. In this case, the bricking includes a plurality of bricks on a plurality of hierarchical levels. The bricks on different hierarchical levels have different image element sizes of corresponding image elements.

摘要: Methods for determining metrology sites for products includes detecting corresponding objects in measurement data of one or more product samples, and aligning the detected objects are aligned. The methods also include analyzing the aligned objects, and determining metrology sites based on the analysis. Devices use such methods to determine metrology sites for products.
