Abstract

See full text

Wafer inspection with stable nuisance rates and defect of interest capture rates are disclosed. This technique can be used for discovery of newly appearing defects that occur during the manufacturing process. Based on a first wafer, defects of interest are identified based on the classified filtered inspection results. For each remaining wafer, the defect classifier is updated and defects of interest in the next wafer are identified based on the classified filtered inspection results.
