Zusammenfassung:An inspection tool comprises an imaging system configured to image a portion of a semiconductor substrate. The inspection tool may further comprise an image analysis system configured to obtain an image of a structure on the semiconductor substrate from the imaging system, encode the image of the structure into a latent space thereby forming a first encoding. the image analysis system may subtract an artifact vector, representative of an artifact in the image, from the encoding thereby forming a second encoding; and decode the second encoding to obtain a decoded image.
