Abstract
A semiconductor inspection device includes: a measuring device that supplies power to a semiconductor device and measures the electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device; an optical scanning device that scans the semiconductor device with light intensity-modulated with a plurality of frequencies; a lock-in amplifier that acquires a characteristic signal indicating the electrical characteristics of the plurality of frequency components; and an inspection device that corrects a phase component of the characteristic signal at an arbitrary scanning position with a phase component at a scanning position reflecting the electrical characteristics of a first layer in the semiconductor device as a reference, specifies a phase component of the characteristic signal at a scanning position reflecting the electrical characteristics of a second layer, normalizes the phase component of the characteristic signal at the arbitrary scanning position by using the phase component, and outputs a result based on the normalized phase component.
