Abstract

Methods and systems for finding patterns in a design for a specimen are provided. One system includes one or more computer subsystems configured for searching for a target pattern in a design for a specimen to thereby find multiple instances of the target pattern in the design. The one or more computer subsystems are also configured for separating the multiple instances of the target pattern into different groups based on information for surrounding patterns within a predefined window around the target pattern such that each of the different groups corresponds to a different combination of the target pattern and the surrounding patterns.
