    摘要: Provided is a laser annealing apparatus capable of reducing time and labor for measuring a sheet resistance and measuring the sheet resistance in a non-contact manner. A laser beam from a laser optical system is incident onto a semiconductor wafer. Thermal radiation light from the semiconductor wafer is incident onto an infrared detector. The infrared detector outputs a signal based on the intensity of the thermal radiation light. A processing device calculates a sheet resistance of the semiconductor wafer that is annealed by the laser beam on the basis of an output value of the infrared detector, and outputs a calculation value of the sheet resistance to an output device.

    摘要: A heating unit heats a surface of an annealing object to temporarily melt an outer layer portion. A sensor detects thermal radiation light from the annealing object heated by the heating unit. A processing unit estimates an annealing result of the annealing object on the basis of a waveform showing a temporal change in an intensity of the thermal radiation light detected by the sensor.

    摘要: A photodetector separately measures intensities of radiant light from a semiconductor member being annealed, in a plurality of wavelength ranges that are different from each other. A processing device obtains a physical quantity related to the semiconductor member that changes due to annealing, based on the intensities in the plurality of wavelength ranges measured by the photodetector. It becomes possible to measure the physical quantity related to the semiconductor member that changes due to annealing without damaging the semiconductor member.

    摘要: A chuck plate is disposed between an annealing object and a holding table. The chuck plate has a function of attenuating thermal radiation light radiated from the annealing object and directed toward the holding table. The use of the chuck plate makes it possible to increase the accuracy of temperature measured by detection of thermal radiation light.
