System and Method for Reducing Radiation-Induced False Counts in an Inspection System

An inspection system with radiation-induced false count mitigation includes a radiation count controller coupled to one or more radiation sensors positioned proximate to an illumination sensor oriented to detect illumination from a sample. The radiation count controller may identify a set of radiati...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An inspection system with radiation-induced false count mitigation includes a radiation count controller coupled to one or more radiation sensors positioned proximate to an illumination sensor oriented to detect illumination from a sample. The radiation count controller may identify a set of radiation detection events based on radiation signals received from the radiation sensors during operation of the illumination sensor. The inspection system may further include an inspection controller to identify a set of illumination detection events based on an illumination signal, identify one or more features on the sample based on the set of illumination detection events, receive the set of radiation detection events from the radiation count controller, compare the set of radiation detection events to the set of illumination detection events to identify a set of coincidence events, and refine the one or more identified features on the sample based on the set of coincidence events.
