Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 1):
A laser annealing apparatus comprising:\n a laser optical system that causes a laser beam to be incident onto a semiconductor wafer; an infrared detector onto which thermal radiation light from the semiconductor wafer is incident, and which outputs a signal based on the intensity of the thermal radiation light; and a processing device that 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.
