Abstract: An initial probability of occurrence of a stochastic defect over an inspection area of a workpiece is received. All locations of the stochastic defects are sorted by the initial probability of occurrence. A cumulative expected defect count is determined and the cumulative expected defect count is normalized to be a fraction of a total expected defect count. A number of defect locations is determined to capture potential stochastic defects above a threshold of total stochastic defects.

Abstract: Using an initial probability of occurrence of a stochastic defect over an inspection area of a workpiece, one or more defects within the inspection area are imaged using an optical tool or an electron beam tool. A probability of occurrence of a stochastic defect at each of the defect locations is generated using the model. The defect locations are grouped into probability bins. A consistency between the initial probability and observed results is determined and the model can be tuned based on the consistency.

Abstract: A computerized method analyzes proposed orders for network sites and generates associated order recommendations. A system configuration order (SCO) manager receives a proposed order from an ordering platform and generates a proposed site configuration using the proposed order and a current site configuration of the site. In some examples, the current site configuration is obtained from a network configuration manager associated with the site. The SCO manager generates a recommended site configuration using a configuration recommendation model and the proposed site configuration as input to the configuration recommendation model. A component difference between the recommended site configuration and the proposed site configuration is identified and an order recommendation is generated using the identified component difference. The generated order recommendation is then provided to the ordering platform.
