  • Abstract
    This paper presents a method for discrimination of clustered defects. The histogram of the number of defects per die is approximated to several major distributions. As a result, we found that Poisson distribution is almost equivalent to real data. The advantage of this method is that accurate coordinates are not required. Therefore it can be applied for almost all tools regardless of their accuracy of coordinates
