Abstract
A breakdown voltage measuring method includes the steps of measuring a breakdown voltage of a semiconductor element in a state where a surface of the semiconductor element formed in a semiconductor substrate is covered with a high boiling point fluorine fluid having a boiling point of 90° C. or higher, and cleaning the semiconductor substrate, including the semiconductor element for which the breakdown voltage is measured, with a low boiling point fluorine inert fluid having a boiling point of 80° C. or lower. Accordingly, a breakdown voltage measuring method capable of suppressing generation of an electric discharge during the measurement of the breakdown voltage and suppressing a residue of a foreign object on the cleaned semiconductor substrate, and a semiconductor device to which the breakdown voltage measuring method is implemented are provided.
