Abstract
There is provided a system and method of examination of a semiconductor specimen using an examination recipe. The method includes obtaining a registered image pair, for each design-based structural element associated with a given layer, calculating an edge attribute, using a trained classifier to determine a class of the design-based structural element, and generating a layer score usable to determine validity of the registered image pair. There is also provided a system and method of generating the examination recipe usable for examination of a semiconductor specimen.
