<p>An after develop inspection tool (108, 400) considers tool-to-tool variability when determining confidence score for wafers under inspection. A golden wafer is used to calculate a RGB signature (Figs. 2A-2B) as well as the slope of the individual RGB curves (202, 204, 206) for different lamp intensities. These slopes are normalized in order to generate a compensation factor for red values and blue values within a signature. When a wafer (402) is subsequently inspected at an ADI station (400) using a different lamp (406), the test wafer RGB signature is likely captured at a different lamp intensity. Consequently, when comparing the signatures, the golden wafer RGB signature is adjusted by the compensation factors, based on the different lamp's intensity setting, and this adjusted RGB signature is then used to determine whether a defect exists on the test wafer.</p> |
