Abstract

Among other things, a system and method for adjusting the intensity of a laser beam applied to a semiconductor device are provided for herein. A sensor is configured to measure the intensity of a laser beam reflected from the semiconductor device. Based upon the reflection intensity, an intensity of the laser beam that is applied to the semiconductor device is adjusted, such as to alter an annealing operation performed on the semiconductor device, for example.
