A method for simultaneously monitoring ion implantation dose, damage and/or dopant
depth profiles in ion-implanted semiconductors includes a calibration step where
the photo-modulated reflectance of a known damage profile is identified in I-Q
space. In a following measurement step, the photo-modulated reflectance of a subject
is empirically measured to obtain in-phase and quadrature values. The in-phase
and quadrature values are then compared, in I-Q space, to the known damage profile
to characterize the damage profile of the subject.
