Abstract

We have developed pattern inspection techniques for Integrated Circuit elements which use an SEMI (Scanning Electron Microscope). In this paper we will discuss the transformation of low SP1 ratio SEM image signals into binary values, detection techniques using the SEM to detect patterns on insulating materials, and detection algorithms for defects.
