Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method including providing a first image and a second image. The first image is of a substrate having a defect and the second image is of a reference substrate. A difference between the first image and the second image is determined. A simulation model is used to generate a simulation curve corresponding to the difference and the substrate dispositioned based on the simulation curve. In another embodiment, the scan of a substrate is used to generate a statistical process control chart.
