Summary: | Methods and systems for inline parts average testing and latent reliability defect recognition or detection are disclosed. An inline parts average testing method may include: performing inline inspection and metrology on a plurality of wafers at a plurality of critical steps during wafer fabrication; aggregating inspection results obtained from inline inspection and metrology utilizing one or more processors to obtain a plurality of aggregated inspection results for the plurality of wafers; identifying one or more statistical outliers among the plurality of wafers at least partially based on the plurality of aggregated inspection results obtained for the plurality of wafers; and disqualifying the one or more statistical outliers from entering a supply chain for a downstream manufacturing process, or segregating the one or more statistical outliers for further evaluation, testing or repurposing. |
