Abstract:
An edge detection system is provided that generates a scanning electron microscope (SEM) linescan image of a pattern structure including a feature with edges that require detection. The edge detection system includes an inverse linescan model tool that receives measured linescan information for the feature from the SEM. In response, the inverse linescan model tool provides feature geometry information that includes the position of the detected edges of the feature.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for performing edge detection the method comprising:\n receiving a first image of a pattern structure exhibiting a predetermined feature; generating measured linescan information describing the pattern structure, wherein the measured linescan information includes image noise; applying the measured linescan information to an inverse linescan model that relates the measured linescan information to feature geometry information; and determining, from the inverse linescan model, feature edge positions of the predetermined feature of the pattern structure that correspond to the measured linescan information.
