Abstract
An image generating device is an apparatus for acquiring an image which shows a direction of an electric current flowing through a semiconductor device. The image generating device comprises a signal application unit configured to apply a stimulation signal to the semiconductor device, a magnetic detection unit configured to output a detection signal based on a magnetism generated by an application of the stimulation signal, and an image generation unit configured to generate phase image data comprising a phase component which indicates a phase difference based on the phase difference between the detection signal and a reference signal which is generated based on the stimulation signal and generate an electric current direction image which shows the direction of the electric current based on the phase image data.
