Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide methods for polysilicon characterization. The method includes receiving image data of a polysilicon structure formed on a sample substrate. The image data is in a spatial domain and is generated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Further, the method includes extracting frequency spectrum of the image data in a frequency domain. Then, the method includes selecting a subset of the frequency spectrum that corresponds to characteristic of first crystal grains that are of a first orientation, and transforming the selected subset of the frequency spectrum to the spatial domain to construct a first spatial image for the first crystal grains of the first orientation.
