METHOD OF INSPECTING A SPECIMEN AND SYSTEM THEREOF

There are provided a method of generating an inspection recipe usable for inspecting an inspection area of a specimen and a recipe generating unit. The recipe generating unit is configured: upon obtaining design data informative of design structural elements comprised in a design PoI corresponding to the at least one PoI, to provide global segmentation of a test image captured by an inspection tool unit from the inspection area and comprising at least one test PoI of substantially the same design as the at least one PoI, thereby to obtain segmented structural elements comprised in the test PoI and segmentation configuration data; to associate the segmented structural elements comprised in the test PoI with the design structural elements comprised in the design PoI, thereby to obtain design association data; and to generate an inspection recipe comprising, at least, segmentation configuration data and design association data.
