摘要: A system and a method for measuring of parameter values of semiconductor objects within wafers with increased throughput include using a modified machine learning algorithm to extract measurement results from instances of semiconductor objects. A training method for training the modified machine learning algorithm includes reducing a user interaction. The method can be more flexible and robust and can involve less user interaction than conventional methods. The system and method can be used for quantitative metrology of integrated circuits within semiconductor wafers.

摘要: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining at least one unknown effect of defects of an element of a photolithography process. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a model of machine learning for a relationship between an image, design data associated with the image and at least one effect of the defects of the element of the photolithography process arising from the image; (b) training the model of machine learning using a multiplicity of images used for training purposes, design data associated with the images used for training purposes and corresponding effects of the defects; and (c) determining the at least one unknown effect of the defects by applying the trained model to a measured image and the design data associated with the measured image.

摘要: The invention relates to a method for registering structures on microlithographic masks comprising the comparison of a recorded measurement image of a mask and the target design underlying the mask, wherein the target design underlying the mask is converted into a simulated reference image that is directly comparable with the measurement image with the aid of an optical simulation, wherein the optical simulation is fully automatically differentiable in such a manner that a metric that is determined from the recorded measurement image and the reference image simulated in the forward mode and represents the differences allows in the backward mode a representation of the actual design of the mask that is directly comparable with the target design for the purpose of determining possible defects of the mask.
The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding computer program product and to the use of the above method in the course of a microlithographic process.-
