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

Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising stored instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
for each defect in a set of defects, associate the defect with a defect attribute constructed from a set of computer-aided design (CAD) identifiers associated with polygons in an integrated circuit (IC) design that overlap with a defect area of the defect;
segregate the set of defects into defect groups based on the associated defect attributes, wherein segregating the set of defects into defect groups based on the associated defect attributes comprises using a machine learning (ML) clustering technique; and
use the defect groups to perform additional processing on the set of defects.
