Abstract

A method for measuring an implant dosage distribution of a semiconductor sample is provided. The method includes generating a photomodulation effect in a three-dimensional structure of the semiconductor sample and measuring a reflection information of the three-dimensional structure. A geometry information of the three-dimensional structure of the semiconductor sample is obtained. The geometry information of the three-dimensional structure is converted into an estimated reflective data. The reflection information is compared with the estimated reflective data to determine the implant dosage distribution of the three-dimensional structure of the semiconductor sample.
