Abstract

See full text

A technique for reconstructing an electron-beam (EB) image, which can be a scanning-electron-microscope (SEM) image or an EB-inspection image, is described. This reconstruction technique may involve an inverse electro-optical calculation that corrects for the influence of an electro-optical transfer function associated with an EB system on the EB image. In particular, in the inverse calculation a multi-valued representation of an initial EB image is at an image plane in the model of the electro-optical transfer function and a resulting EB image is at an object plane in the model of the electro-optical transfer function. Furthermore, the model of the electro-optical transfer function may have an analytical derivative and/or may be represented by a closed-form expression.
