    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimal electron beam metrology guidance are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, the method may include receiving an acquired image of a sample, determining a set of image parameters based on an analysis of the acquired image, determining a set of model parameters based on the set of image parameters, generating a set of simulated images based on the set of model parameters. The method may further comprise performing measurement of critical dimensions on the set of simulated images and comparing critical dimension measurements with the set of model parameters to provide a set of guidance parameters based on comparison of information from the set of simulated images and the set of model parameters. The method may further comprise receiving auxiliary information associated with target parameters including critical dimension uniformity.

    Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for enhancing an inspection image in a charged-particle beam inspection system. An improved method for enhancing an inspection image comprises acquiring a first image and a second image of multiple stacked layers of a sample that are taken with a first focal point and a second focal point, respectively, associating a first segment of the first image with a first layer among the multiple stacked layers and associating a second segment of the second image with a second layer among the multiple stacked layers, updating the first segment based on a first reference image corresponding to the first layer and updating the second segment based on a second reference image corresponding to the second layer, and combining the updated first segment and the updated second segment to generate a combined image including the first layer and the second layer.
