Additive manufacturing based multi-layer fabrication/repair

A method of additively manufacturing includes generating a thermal model driven scan map that identifies an equiaxed cap region, a single crystal (SX) region, and a columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) region; and forming an active melt pool with respect to the thermal model driven scan map such that a depth of the active melt pool is greater than a thickness of the equiaxed transition (CET) region.

Laser annealing apparatus for semiconductors having multiple laser energy measuring means

A laser annealing apparatus includes a laser oscillating structure, an oscillator, a beam expanding telescope, a first power meter, and a second power meter. The laser oscillating structure emits a first laser beam of a first wavelength and first beam cross-section to a substrate in a chamber including an optical window. The oscillator emits a second laser beam, of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, to the substrate. The beam expanding telescope is on an optical path for the second laser beam and expands the second laser beam to a second beam cross-section. The first and second power meters measure energy of the second laser beam and a third laser beam, generated as the second laser beam is reflected by the substrate. The first beam cross-section and the second beam cross-section may be equal.

Apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor device and method for manufacturing semiconductor device using same

The present disclosure controls the heat source unit such that a to-be-processed object in which a hydrogen-containing to-be-processed layer is formed is irradiated with light in two stages, and thus the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device may be suppressed and prevented from being deteriorated due to hydrogen. That is, ultraviolet light (UV) which is firstly radiated may induce a chemical reaction for separating SiH bonds in the to-be-processed layer, and infrared light (IR) which is secondly radiated may induce a thermal reaction for vaporizing the separated hydrogen from the SiH bonds. As such, both a chemical reaction for separating bonds of hydrogen and other ions in the to-be-processed layer and a thermal reaction for vaporizing hydrogen are performed, and thus hydrogen may be more easily removed than a temperature at which hydrogen is vaporized from the to-be-processed layer by only a thermal reaction.
