Abstract: Methods and systems for training a neural network for defect detection in low resolution images are provided. One system includes an inspection tool that includes high and low resolution imaging subsystems and one or more components that include a high resolution neural network and a low resolution neural network. Computer subsystem(s) of the system are configured for generating a training set of defect images. At least one of the defect images is generated synthetically by the high resolution neural network using an image generated by the high resolution imaging subsystem. The computer subsystem(s) are also configured for training the low resolution neural network using the training set of defect images as input. In addition, the computer subsystem(s) are configured for detecting defects on another specimen by inputting the images generated for the other specimen by the low resolution imaging subsystem into the trained low resolution neural network.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a simulated image from an input image are provided. One system includes one or more computer subsystems and one or more components executed by the one or more computer subsystems. The one or more components include a neural network that includes two or more encoder layers configured for determining features of an image for a specimen. The neural network also includes two or more decoder layers configured for generating one or more simulated images from the determined features. The neural network does not include a fully connected layer thereby eliminating constraints on size of the image input to the two or more encoder layers.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating simulated images from design information are provided. One system includes one or more computer subsystems and one or more components executed by the computer subsystem(s), which include a generative model. The generative model includes two or more encoder layers configured for determining features of design information for a specimen.

Abstract: Systems and methods for acquiring information for a construction site are provided. One system includes a base unit positioned within a construction site by a user. A computer subsystem of the base unit determines a position of the base unit with respect to the construction site. The system also includes a measurement unit moved within the construction site by a user. The measurement unit includes one or more elements configured to interact with light in a known manner. An optical subsystem of the base unit directs light to the element(s) and detects the light after interacting with the element(s). The computer subsystem is configured to determine a position and pose of the measurement unit with respect to the base unit based on the detected light. The measurement unit includes a measurement device used by the measurement unit or the base unit to determine information for the construction site.

Abstract: Methods and systems for accelerated training of a machine learning based model for semiconductor applications are provided. One method for training a machine learning based model includes acquiring information for non-nominal instances of specimen(s) on which a process is performed. The machine learning based model is configured for performing simulation(s) for the specimens. The machine learning based model is trained with only information for nominal instances of additional specimen(s). The method also includes re-training the machine learning based model with the information for the non-nominal instances of the specimen(s) thereby performing transfer learning of the information for the non-nominal instances of the specimen(s) to the machine learning based model.
