Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for creating a recipe for a defect review process, comprising: determining an identity of a specimen on which the defect review process will be performed; identifying inspection results for the specimen based on the identity, wherein the inspection results have been generated by a first tool; determining if a recipe for the defect review process for a layer type of the specimen has been created based on the inspection results; if the recipe for the layer type of the specimen has not been created, creating the recipe for the defect review process based on the inspection results without input from a user, wherein the defect review process will be performed by a second tool, and wherein the second tool comprises a defect review tool; and storing the recipe such that the recipe can be used for additional specimens having a layer type that is the same as the layer type of the specimen on which the defect review process will be performed.
