Embodiments may include methods, systems, and apparatuses for care area based swath speed for throughput and sensitivity improvement. A method may comprise receiving scan region of a die. The scan region of the die may have a first care area at a controller configured to control an inspection tool, wherein the inspection tool includes a stage having the die disposed thereon. The method may then include scanning a first portion of the scan region at a fast feed rate and the first care area at a slow feed rate. Scanning may include emitting particles in a particle beam toward the die resulting an incidence on the die. Emitting may be performed using a particle emitter. Scanning may then include detecting a portion of particles reflected from the incidence. Detecting may be performed using a detector. Scanning may then include changing a position of the stage relative to the incidence.
