Abstract
A semiconductor wafer (11) with a lattice mismatched film (12) on its upper surface is placed on a flat support surface (15). A laser beam (13, 23, 24, 26, 27) is directed onto the film (12). Curvature of the semiconductor wafer caused by the film (12) is measured simultaneously with film thickness based on characteristics of the reflected laser beam (23, 24, 26, 27). Strain within the film (12) is calculated from the curvature of the semiconductor wafer, film composition is calculated from the stress and thickness based on known properties of the film (12).
