Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 17:
18. A system comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor, coupled with the memory and to execute the instructions, the instructions when executed cause the processor to:
for each defect in a set of defects,
detect polygons in an integrated circuit (IC) design that overlap with a defect area of the defect,
extract a set of computer-aided design (CAD) identifiers associated with the polygons,
construct a defect attribute based on the CAD identifiers, and
associate the defect with the defect attribute;

use a machine learning (ML) clustering technique to segregate the set of defects into defect groups based on the associated defect attributes; and

use the defect groups to perform additional processing on the set of defects.
