SEMI-PointRend: Achieving Increased Accuracy and Detail in Semiconductor Defect Analysis from SEM Images

Source Node: 2011071

Semiconductor defect analysis is an important part of the manufacturing process for integrated circuits. Defects can cause a variety of issues, from decreased performance to complete failure of the device. To ensure that the highest quality products are produced, it is necessary to have a reliable and accurate method of detecting and analyzing defects. SEMI-PointRend is a new technology that enables increased accuracy and detail in semiconductor defect analysis from scanning electron microscope (SEM) images.

SEMI-PointRend is a machine learning-based image processing system that uses deep learning algorithms to detect and analyze defects in semiconductor devices. It is designed to be used with SEM images, which provide a higher resolution than traditional optical microscopy. By using deep learning algorithms, SEMI-PointRend is able to detect and classify defects with greater accuracy and detail than traditional methods.

The system works by first extracting features from the SEM image. These features are then used to train a deep learning model, which is then used to detect and classify defects in the image. The model is trained using a large dataset of SEM images with known defects, which allows it to accurately detect and classify defects even in images with low contrast or low signal-to-noise ratio.

SEMI-PointRend has been tested on a variety of different semiconductor devices, including chips, wafers, and packages. In all cases, it was able to detect and classify defects with greater accuracy than traditional methods. In addition, the system was able to detect defects that were not visible to the human eye, allowing for more thorough defect analysis.

Overall, SEMI-PointRend is an effective tool for increasing accuracy and detail in semiconductor defect analysis from SEM images. By using deep learning algorithms, it is able to detect and classify defects with greater accuracy than traditional methods, allowing for more thorough defect analysis. This technology can help ensure that the highest quality products are produced, leading to improved performance and reliability of semiconductor devices.
