Abstract:
Methods are described for obtaining digital data for determining, shaping or testing a semiconductor or anisotropic device or materials under test or manufacture. Optical interferometric techniques can sense a wide region, such as that passing through or reflected off a semiconductor material, which can then be analyzed. In this manner, various characteristics of the resultant transmitted or reflected probing beam, herein called the “object wave,” are recorded in the resultant interference pattern between the object wave and the reference beam. Likewise, when the semiconductor material, such as an integrated circuit, is stressed by applying a voltage therein by energizing a circuit fabricated therein, the same light will reflect or otherwise pass through the semiconductor material, while being affected by the changes imposed upon or acting within the interior structures or interior surfaces by an applied voltage or signal, or by an incident external stress, thereby resulting in a different pattern.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 7 , wherein imposing a second wavelength threshold below which photo-refraction will occur or a second electromagnetic radiation of differing wavelength or intensity to bring about at least one of the following; a photo-refractive effect, a birefringence, a free carrier absorption, a photo injected carrier, a thermal emission, a photoluminescence, or an effect thereof.
