Abstract:
Concepts presented herein relate to approaches for performing substrate inspection. In one aspect, the concepts relate to detecting anomalies or candidate defects on the substrate based on contrast in images obtained of the substrate.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of inspecting a substrate comprising:\n obtaining an image of the substrate at a fluorescence wavelength that includes a region of interest; performing a threshold operation on the image whereby each pixel of the image that has an intensity value above a predetermined magnitude is set to a high value and each pixel of the image of the image that has an intensity value below the predetermined magnitude is set to a low value; and, identifying in the thresholded image of the substrate whether an anomaly is present in the region of interest.
