摘要:
An object of the present invention is to obtain a clear absorbed current image without involving the difference in gain of amplifier between inputs, from absorbed currents detected by using a plurality of probes and to improve measurement efficiency.In the present invention, a plurality of probes are brought in contact with a specimen. While irradiating the specimen with an electron beam, currents flowing in the probes are measured. Signals from at least two probes are input to a differential amplifier. An output of the differential amplifier is amplified. On the basis of the amplified output and scanning information of the electron beam, an absorbed current image is generated. According to the invention, a clear absorbed current image can be obtained without involving the difference in gain of amplifier between inputs. Thus, measurement efficiency in a failure analysis of a semiconductor device can be improved.

A semiconductor laser device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first cladding region on one side of the semiconductor substrate, an active layer region, and a second cladding region disposed on an opposite side of the semiconductor substrate. The active layer region is disposed between the semiconductor substrate and the second cladding region. A first semiconductor region is provided on either side of the active layer region in parallel with a traveling direction of light in the active layer region and has an electric resistance higher than that of the active layer region and a refractive index higher than that of the semiconductor substrate. An insulative or semi-insulative second semiconductor region is formed between the first semiconductor region and part of the second cladding region. A first electrode and a second electrode are provided for injecting a current into the active layer region.

Provided is an apparatus for automatically detecting a failure position on a specified wiring line. The apparatus and a method for automatically detecting the failure position even on a long wiring line by applying a probe and an electron beam onto a sample and using an image of the current absorbed by the sample are provided. The apparatus obtains an absorbed current image, while laterally moving at right angle with the probe applied onto the sample, and based on the obtained absorbed current image, correction is performed by means of both an image shift and a stage. Countermeasures are taken, using a stage not having a sample rotating stage, against factors including a hardware factor of not moving at a correct angle, such as backlash, the wiring line is accurately and continuously displayed even when the apparatus moves to the ends of the long wiring line, and the failure position is detected, while the apparatus automatically reciprocates several times between the both ends of the wiring line.
