Abstract:
Data indicative of a group of defect candidates may be obtained. The data may be indicative of a group of defect candidates and may include values of attributes for each defect candidate of the group of defect candidates. Sub-groups of defect candidates may be iteratively selected for review using a review recipe to classify the defect candidates in each selected sub-group based on the values of attributes of respective defect candidates and classification results of previously reviewed defect candidates. The sub-groups may be selected until a sampling stop condition is fulfilled to obtain a classification output for the wafer. Instructions specifying at least one of the sampling stop condition, the inspection recipe, or the review recipe may be altered and additional defect candidates in a next wafer may be classified by using the altered instructions.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising\n in response to an inspection of a wafer by an inspection toot using an inspection recipe, obtaining data indicative of a group of defect candidates, wherein the data comprises values of attributes for each defect candidate of the group of defect candidates; iteratively selecting sub-groups of defect candidates from the group of defect candidates for review using a review recipe to classify the defect candidates in each selected sub-group, wherein the iterative selecting is based on the values of attributes of respective defect candidates and classification results of previously reviewed defect candidates, and wherein the iterative selecting is continued until a sampling stop condition is fulfilled to obtain a classification output for the wafer; using the classification output obtained for the wafer to alter instructions specifying at least one of the sampling stop condition, the inspection recipe, or the review recipe; and classifying, by a processing device, additional defect candidates in a next wafer by using the altered instructions.
