Summary: | A method for defect classification includes storing definitions of defect classes in terms of a classification rules in a multi-dimensional feature space. Inspection data associated with defects detected in one or more samples under inspection is received. A plurality of first classification results is generated by applying an automatic classifier to the inspection data based on the definitions, the plurality of first classification results comprising a class label and a corresponding confidence level for a defect. Upon determining that a confidence level for a defect is below a predetermined confidence threshold, a plurality of second classification results are generated by applying at least one inspection modality to the defect. A report is generated comprising a distribution of the defects among the defect classes by combining the plurality of first classification results and the plurality of second classification results. |
