Cross layer common-unique analysis for nuisance filtering

Common events between layers on a semiconductor wafer are filtered. Common events should contain the majority of defects of interest. Only nuisance events that are common between layers on the semiconductor wafer remain, which reduces the nuisance rate. Defects that are common across layers can be f...

Zusammenfassung:Common events between layers on a semiconductor wafer are filtered. Common events should contain the majority of defects of interest. Only nuisance events that are common between layers on the semiconductor wafer remain, which reduces the nuisance rate. Defects that are common across layers can be filtered based on, for example, defect coordinates, a difference image, or defect attributes.
