Combining simulation and optical microscopy to determine inspection mode
A best optical inspection mode to detect defects can be determined when no defect examples or only a limited number of defect examples are available. A signal for a defect of interest at the plurality of sites and for the plurality of modes can be determined using electromagnetic simulation. A ratio...

| Zusammenfassung: | A best optical inspection mode to detect defects can be determined when no defect examples or only a limited number of defect examples are available. A signal for a defect of interest at the plurality of sites and for the plurality of modes can be determined using electromagnetic simulation. A ratio of the signal for the defect of interest to the noise at each combination of the plurality of sites and the plurality of modes can be determined. A mode with optimized signal-to-noise characteristics can be determined based on the ratios. |
