X-ray absorption fine structure can determine the local structure of most atoms in the periodic table. The great recent improvements in the performance of synchrotron radiation sources and techniques and advances in the simulations of the spectra have opened new opportunities, especially in the study of dilute systems in the soft X-ray range. In this contribution we will show some recent results that demonstrate how semiconductor physics may greatly benefit from such progress. In fact, doping or alloying of semiconductors with light elements, that have K absorption edges in the soft X-ray range, is widely employed to tune semiconductor properties. X-ray absorption fine structure investigations on such systems can give an important contribution towards the understanding and optimization of technological processes.

Recently, the applications area of analytical electron microscopy has been extended to include the study of Extended Energy Loss Fine Structure (EXELFS). Modulations past an ionization edge in the energy loss spectrum (EXELFS), contain atomic fine structure information similar to Extended X-ray Absorbtion Fine Structure (EXAFS). At low momentum transfer the main contribution to these modulations comes from interference effects between the outgoing excited inner shell electron waves and electron waves backscattered from the surrounding atoms. The ability to obtain atomic fine structure information (such as interatomic distances) combined with the spatial resolution of an electron microscope is unique and makes EXELFS an important microanalytical technique.
