Zusammenfassung:Systems, methods, and programming are described for inspecting a substrate having a pattern imaged thereon, including obtaining a plurality of selected target locations on the substrate, the selected target locations dependent on characteristics of the pattern, scanning the substrate with a plurality of electron beamlets, wherein the scanning includes individually addressing the beamlets to impinge on the selected target locations independently, detecting a reflected or a transmitted portion of the beamlets, and generating images of the selected target locations.
