摘要:
A die-die inspection image can be aligned using a method or system configured to receive a reference image and a test image, determine a global offset and rotation angle from local sections on the reference image and test image, and perform a rough alignment de-skew of the test image prior to performing a fine alignment.
摘要:
A system for defect detection and analysis is provided. The system may include an inspection sub-system and a controller including a memory and one or more processors. The inspection sub-system may include an illumination source and one or more detectors configured to acquire control patch images of defects of a control specimen along one or more detector channels. The one or more processors may be configured to train a defect classifier using the control patch images and known parameters associated with the defects of the control specimen. The inspection sub-system may be further configured to acquire patch images of identified defects on an additional specimen. The one or more processors may be configured to determine parameters of the identified defects using the defect classifier.
摘要:
Methods and systems for determining parameter(s) of a process to be performed on a specimen are provided. One system includes one or more computer subsystems configured for determining an area of a defect detected on a specimen. The computer subsystem(s) are also configured for correlating the area of the defect with information for a design for the specimen and determining a spatial relationship between the area of the defect and the information for the design based on results of the correlating. In addition, the computer subsystem(s) are configured for automatically generating a region of interest to be measured during a process performed for the specimen with a measurement subsystem based on the spatial relationship.

The correlation of optical images with SEM images includes acquiring a full optical image of a sample by scanning the sample with an optical inspection sub-system, storing the full optical image, identifying a location of a feature-of-interest present in the full optical image with an additional sources, acquiring an SEM image of a portion of the sample that includes the feature at the identified location with a SEM tool, acquiring an optical image portion at the location identified by the additional source, the image portions including a reference structure, correlating the image portion and the SEM image based on the presence of the feature-of-interest and the reference structure in both the image portions and the SEM image, and transferring a location of the feature-of-interest in the SEM image into the coordinate system of the image portion of the full optical image to form a corrected optical image.

摘要:
The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for performing a defect inspection of a die image using adaptive care areas (ACAs). The use of ACAs solve the problem of handling rotations of components that require rotating care areas; handling the situation where each care area requires its own rotation, translation, or affine transformation; and the situation of decoupling intensity differences caused by defects or process variation from intensity differences caused by size variations.
