Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for creating an inspection recipe, comprising: acquiring a first design and one or more characteristics of output of an inspection system for a wafer on which the first design is printed using a manufacturing process; and creating an inspection recipe for a second design using the first design and the one or more characteristics of the output acquired for the wafer on which the first design is printed, wherein the first and second designs are different, wherein the inspection recipe will be used for inspecting wafers after the second design is printed on the wafers using the manufacturing process, wherein said creating comprises creating a context map for the second design using the first design and the one or more characteristics of the output and creating the inspection recipe using the context map such that different sensitivity thresholds for de ect detection are applied to output acquired for at least two different contexts in the second design, and wherein said creating the inspection recipe is performed using a computer system.
