    Abstract: Described herein is a method for training a machine learning model to determine a source of error contribution to multiple features of a pattern printed on a substrate. The method includes obtaining training data having multiple datasets, wherein each dataset has error contribution values representative of an error contribution from one of multiple sources to the features, and wherein each dataset is associated with an actual classification that identifies a source of the error contribution of the corresponding dataset; and training, based on the training data, a machine learning model to predict a classification of a reference dataset of the datasets such that a cost function that determines a difference between the predicted classification and the actual classification of the reference dataset is reduced.

    Abstract: Described herein are system, method, and apparatus for determining three-dimensional (3D) information of a structure of a patterned substrate. The 3D information can be determined using one or more model configured to generate 3D information (e.g., depth information) using only a single image of a patterned substrate. In a method, the model is trained by obtaining a pair of stereo images of a structure of a patterned substrate. The model generates, using a first image of the pair of stereo images as input, disparity data between the first image and a second image, the disparity data being indicative of depth information associated with the first image. The disparity data is combined with the second image to generate a reconstructed image corresponding to the first image. Further, one or more model parameters are adjusted based on the disparity data, the reconstructed image, and the first image.

    Abstract: A method for determining a deformation of a resist in a patterning process. The method involves obtaining a resist deformation model of a resist having a pattern, the resist deformation model configured to simulate a fluid flow of the resist due to capillary forces acting on a contour of at least one feature of the pattern; and determining, via the resist deformation model, a deformation of a resist pattern to be developed based on an input pattern to the resist deformation model.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method for decomposing error contributions from multiple sources to multiple features of a pattern printed on a substrate. The method includes obtaining an image of the pattern on the substrate and obtaining, using the image, a plurality of measurement values (615;620;625) of a feature of the pattern. The measurement values are obtained for different sensor values. Further, the method includes correlating, using a decomposition algorithm (320), each measurement value of the plurality of measurement values to a linear mixture of the error contributions to generate a plurality of linear mixtures of the error contributions, and deriving, from the linear mixtures and using the decomposition algorithm, each of the error contributions (601;602;603).
