This invention discloses a method for identifying
photomask defects, belonging to the field of
photomask inspection technology. The method includes: S1, acquiring a surface defect image; S2, preprocessing the surface defect
image based on the imaging characteristics of the defect; S3, correcting the preprocessed surface defect image using a filtering
algorithm; S4, performing
colorimetric analysis on the corrected surface defect image to obtain particle regions; S5, segmenting the particle regions based on the morphological features of the defect to obtain defect islands; S6, performing
morphological analysis on the defect islands to obtain the defect type and size. The
photomask defect identification method provided by this invention automatically processes surface defect images and extracts defect islands by combining morphological and
colorimetric analysis methods, improving the accuracy of defect identification, overcoming the limitations of differences in imaging systems across different devices, achieving automatic
batch processing, and saving manpower and
material resources in
mass production.
