See full text

An assessment method comprising: using an assessment apparatus to generate assessment signals representing a property of a surface of a sample; processing the assessment signals to identify candidate defects and outputting a candidate defect signal; monitoring the status of the assessment apparatus for error conditions and generating a status signal indicating any error conditions during functioning of the assessment apparatus; and analysing the candidate defect signal to determine if the candidate defects are real defects; wherein analysis of a candidate defect is not completed if the status signal indicates that the assessment signal(s) and/or the candidate defect signal corresponding to the candidate defect would have been affected by an error condition.
