Compared anomaly detection on integrated circuit SEM images — 25,160 normal and 116 anomalous images. By the authors' measurement, CFA reached an image-AUROC of 99.01% and image-F1 of 87.96%, though the best pixel-F1 was 77.30%
Why it matters
99% image-level AUROC with zero defect labels. A public comparative experiment showing that, for OSAT, where defect classes change often, a design that skips the defect-collection stage entirely holds up in the SEM domain
