Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes generating a model trained to predict a low-probability stochastic defect, using the model to predict the low-probability stochastic defect, determining a process window based on the low-probability stochastic defect, and controlling, based on the process window, a lithography tool to manufacture a device.
