    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for inspecting a photolithographic reticle are disclosed. A reticle inspection tool is used at one or more operating modes to obtain images of a plurality of training regions of a reticle, and the training regions are identified as defect-free. Three or more basis training images are derived from the images of the training regions. A classifier is formed based on the three or more basis training images. The inspection system is used at the one or more operating modes to obtain images of a plurality of test regions of a reticle. Three or more basis test images are derived from to the test regions. The classifier is applied to the three or more basis test images to find defects in the test regions.

    Abstract: A detection method for a spot image based thin line detection is disclosed. The method includes a step for constructing a band limited spot image from a transmitted and reflected optical image of the mask. The spot image is calibrated to reduce noise introduced by the one or more inspection systems. Based on the band limited spot image, a non-printable feature map is generated for the non-printable features and a printable feature map is generated for the printable features. One or more test images of the mask are analyzed to detect defects on such mask. A sensitivity level of defect detection is reduced in areas of the one or more test images defined by the non-printable feature map, as compared with areas of the one or more test images that are not defined by the non-printable features map

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for inspecting a photolithographic reticle. A stream of defect data is received from a reticle inspection system, wherein the defect data identifies a plurality of defects that were detected for a plurality of different portions of the reticle. Before reviewing the defect data to determine whether the reticle passes inspection and as the stream of defect data continues to be received, some of the defects are automatically grouped with other most recently one or more received defects so as form groups of substantially matching defects. Before reviewing the defect data to determine whether the reticle passes inspection and after all of the defect data for the reticle is received, one or more of the groups of defects that have a number above a predetermined threshold are automatically filtered from the defect data so as to form filtered defect data. The filtered defect data may then be provided to a review station for determining whether the reticle passes.
