Abstract: An improved systems and methods for generating a synthetic defect image are disclosed. An improved method for generating a synthetic defect image comprises acquiring a machine learning-based generator model; providing a defect-free inspection image and a defect attribute combination as inputs to the generator model; and generating by the generator model, based on the defect-free inspection image, a predicted synthetic defect image with a predicted defect that accords with the defect attribute combination.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a defect on a sample include receiving a first image and a second image associated with the first image; determining, using a clustering technique, N first feature descriptor(s) for L first pixel(s) in the first image and M second feature descriptor(s) for L second pixel(s) in the second image, wherein each of the L first pixel(s) is co-located with one of the L second pixel(s), and L, M, and N are positive integers; determining K mapping probability between a first feature descriptor of the N first feature descriptor(s) and each of K second feature descriptor(s) of the M second feature descriptor(s), wherein K is a positive integer; and providing an output for determining whether there is existence of an abnormal pixel representing a candidate defect on the sample based on a determination that one of the K mapping probability does not exceed a threshold value.

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.
