Abstract:
A computer-implemented defect prediction method for a device manufacturing process involving processing a portion of a design layout onto a substrate, the method including: identifying a hot spot from the portion of the design layout; determining a range of values of a processing parameter of the device manufacturing process for the hot spot, wherein when the processing parameter has a value outside the range, a defect is produced from the hot spot with the device manufacturing process; determining an actual value of the processing parameter; determining or predicting, using the actual value, existence, probability of existence, a characteristic, or a combination thereof, of a defect produced from the hot spot with the device manufacturing process.

Claim (Index 5):
The computer readable medium of  claim 4 , wherein the instructions are further configured to indicate whether the hot spot is to be inspected at least partially based on the determined or predicted existence, probability of existence, the characteristic, or the combination selected therefrom, of the residue defect.
