We report on advanced defect classification using TNO's RapidNano particle scanner. RapidNano was originally designed for defect detection on blank substrates. In detection-mode, the RapidNano signal from nine azimuth angles is added for sensitivity. In review-mode signals from individual angles are analyzed to derive additional defect properties. We define the Fourier coefficient parameter space that is useful to study the statistical variation in defect types on a sample. By selecting defects from each defect type for further review by SEM, information on all defects can be obtained efficiently.
