ABSTRACT:
A method to accurately classify defects on a semiconductor wafer wherein a scanning tool detects defects and assigns values to parameters that are characteristic of each defect. The values of the characteristic parameters represent a thumbprint of each defect and the defects are placed into "bins" according to the thumbprint of each defect. A sample of defects in each bin is analyzed and assigned a classification code.
