PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide design driven inspection/metrology methods and apparatus in semiconductor wafer defect inspection or measurement. SOLUTION: A recipe 155 is a set of instructions including wafer processing parameters, inspection parameters, or control parameters for telling an inspection/metrology system 150 how to inspect/measure a wafer 160. Design data is imported into a recipe extraction system 150, and the recipe extraction system 150 recognizes instances of target structures and configures recipe parameters accordingly, thereby reducing manual instrument setup time, improving inspection/measurement accuracy, and improving fabrication efficiency.
