Abstract

Inspection data that corresponds to potential defects of an object may be received. A first set of locations of first potential defects can be identified. The first set of locations of the first potential defects can be imaged with a review tool to obtain a first set of review images. The first potential defects can be classified based on the first set of review images to obtain first classification results of the first potential defects. A determination can be made as to whether an examination stopping criteria has been satisfied. In response to determining that the examination stopping criteria has not been satisfied, a second set of locations of second potential defects can be identified to be imaged with the review tool to obtain a second set of review images. The second set of locations can be different than the first set of locations.
