Abstract

A method of analyzing a semiconductor wafer includes obtaining a graphic data system (GDS) file corresponding to the semiconductor wafer, using GDS information from the GDS file to provide coordinates of a layout feature of the semiconductor wafer to an electron microscope, using the electron microscope to capture a raw image from the semiconductor wafer based on the coordinates of the layout feature, and performing a measurement operation on the raw image.
