The present disclosure provides an electronic system with defect identification function and a method of qualifying a photoresist pattern formed using a lithography process. The electronic system includes an inspection apparatus and a processor associated with the inspection apparatus. The inspection apparatus is used for acquiring at least one image of the specimen on which a photoresist pattern is formed using a lithography process. The processor is configured to automatically apply machine learning processes implemented through one or more neural networks to identify at least one defect present in the photoresist pattern.
