Abstract
A semiconductor device inspecting apparatus capable of a high-precision nondestructive inspection with a reduction of external noises, by using a value of an area having no hole as a background value for a correction when measuring an average current, measuring the current in a current differential input amplifier constitution, automatically judging whether a result of the measurement is caused by a defect of the device or of the equipment on the basis of a measured current waveform, measuring a current value of electron beams, and storing and reusing a waiting time between irradiation with electron beams and stabilization of the current measurement value.
