Abstract
An inspection device improves accuracy characteristics of an (MRAM), the inspection device including a stage on which a MRAM element is fixed, and electromagnets generating a first magnetic field. A magnetic field having a component in a direction perpendicular to the stage is changeable from a first direction to a second direction according to a position on the stage. A second magnetic field in which a direction of a magnetic field component is parallel to the stage changes from a third direction to a fourth direction according to the position on the stage, an optical system illuminating the MRAM element with light including polarized light, and condensing reflected light from reflected illumination light from the MRAM element, and a detector detecting reflected light when the position of the MRAM element is changed, and when the position of the MRAM element in the second magnetic field is changed.
