Abstract

Time-resolved Si lattice-temperature measurement has been developed on wide time scale from 10−9 to 100 sec during laser annealing, by utilizing the time-dependent optical interference in Si on sappire. This interference is due to small changes in Si refractive index induced by temporal changes in Si lattice-temperature. For ns–pulsed laser annealing, part of the absorbed photon energy is found to be transferred into lattice (phonons) in a time much shorter than 40-ns pulse duration. A new method using a microscope is demonstrated for time- and space-resolved Si latticetemperature measurements during cw laser annealing.
