A novel diagnostic technique for the studies of semiconductor surfaces is described. Experimental data on nonlocal modification effects in laser produced scribing, doping and annealing of ion implanted GaAs and Si are presented. Mechanisms of nonlocal structural and electric properties changes under modification are analyzed. Nonlocality phenomena are concluded to be universal for any strong modification procedure and very important for microelectronics technology.
