With the continued miniaturization of advanced semiconductor devices, precise three-dimensional analysis of trace impurity distributions has become increasingly important. In this study, we propose a correlative microscopy approach that combines three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) and electron tomography (ET). To address structural distortions inherent in 3DAP reconstructions, we employ non-rigid registration using ET data as a geometric reference. Furthermore, to enable visualization of concentration differences among identical atomic species, we introduce a new modality conversion technique based on Gaussian blurring. This method improves the gradient correlation metric by approximately a factor of two, demonstrating enhanced accuracy in cross-modal alignment.
