Abstract
A semiconductor wafer defect detection system captures test images of a semiconductor wafer. The system analyzes the test images with an analysis model trained with a machine learning process. The analysis model generates simulated integrated circuit layouts based on the test images. The system detects defects in the semiconductor wafer by comparing the simulated integrated circuit layouts to reference integrated circuit layouts.
