Abstract

A system includes a computer-readable medium that stores a plurality of instructions for execution by at least one computer processor. The instructions include receiving a reflectivity measurement on a semiconductor wafer and generating a reflectivity map based on the received reflectivity measurement. The instructions determine a spatial distance for a selected reflectivity change using the generated reflectivity map. Subsequently, the determined spatial distance is compared with a thermal diffusion length of a first anneal process technique. In embodiments, the system further includes a light source and a reflectivity measurement tool.
