    Abstract: A system and method for generating predictive images for wafer inspection using machine learning are provided. Some embodiments of the system and method include acquiring the wafer after a photoresist applied to the wafer has been developed; imaging a portion of a segment of the developed wafer; acquiring the wafer after the wafer has been etched; imaging the segment of the etched wafer; training a machine learning model using the imaged portion of the developed wafer and the imaged segment of the etched wafer; and applying the trained machine learning model using the imaged segment of the etched wafer to generate predictive images of a developed wafer. Some embodiments include imaging a segment of the developed wafer; imaging a portion of the segment of the etched wafer; training a machine learning model; and applying the trained machine learning model to generate predictive after-etch images of the developed wafer.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method in the manufacturing process of a device on a substrate, wherein the manufacturing process comprises a lithographic process of imaging a portion of a design layout onto the substrate using a lithographic apparatus and one or more further processes in the manufacturing process of the device, the method comprising: obtaining an image of at least part of the substrate, wherein the image comprises at least one feature comprised by the device being manufactured on the substrate; calculating one or more image-related metrics in dependence on a contour determined from the image comprising the at least one feature; determining one or more control parameters of the lithographic apparatus and/or said one or more further processes in the manufacturing process of the device in dependence on the one or more image-related metrics. Advantageously, the determination of the control parameters is improved.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method of training a model configured to predict whether a feature associated with an imaged substrate will be defective after etching of the imaged substrate and determining etch conditions based on the trained model. The method includes obtaining, via a metrology tool, (i) an after development image of the imaged substrate at a given location, the after development image including a plurality of features, and (ii) an after etch image of the imaged substrate at the given location; and training, using the after development image and the after etch image, the model configured to determine defectiveness of a given feature of the plurality of features in the after development image. In an embodiment, the determining of defectiveness is based on comparing the given feature in the after development image with a corresponding etch feature in the after etch image.
