Abstract:
A projection is determined in a semiconductor image, which can be an X projection and/or a Y projection. At least one threshold is applied to the projection thereby forming at least one segment within the region. A fine segment can be determined in the region using a distance value from the projection. Defect detection can be performed in one of the fine segments.
