Super-resolution in semiconductor inspection may miss defects, study finds

A new research paper on arXiv explores the effectiveness of super-resolution techniques in semiconductor inspection. The study introduces a benchmark designed to evaluate whether these techniques preserve critical defect evidence rather than just improving image sharpness. Results indicate that while some super-resolution models achieve high reconstruction quality, they can fail to detect defects as effectively as simpler methods like bicubic interpolation, highlighting the need to judge such technologies by their task-specific evidence preservation and operational transfer capabilities. AI

IMPACT Super-resolution methods used in semiconductor inspection may need re-evaluation to ensure defect detection capabilities are preserved.
