DEFECT DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION BASED ON ATTRIBUTES DETERMINED FROM A STANDARD REFERENCE IMAGE

摘要

Systems and methods for classifying defects detected on a wafer are provided. One method includes detecting defects on a wafer based on output generated for the wafer by an inspection system. The method also includes determining one or more attributes for at least one of the defects based on portions of a standard reference image corresponding to the at least one of the defects. The method further includes classifying the at least one of the defects based at least in part on the one or more determined attributes.
