Abstract: A test structure for electron beam inspection and a method for defect determination using electron beam inspection are provided. The test structure for electron beam inspection includes a semiconductor substrate, at least two conductive regions disposed on the semiconductor substrate, a connection structure disposed on the two conductive regions, and a cap dielectric layer disposed on the connection structure. The method for defect determination using the electron beam inspection includes the following steps. An electron beam inspection is preformed to a test structure with an instant detector and a lock-in amplifier. Signals received by the detector within a period of time are amplified by the lock-in amplifier. A defect in the test structure is determined by monitoring the signals received by the detector and amplified by the lock-in amplifier. The inspection accuracy is improved by the test structure and the method for defect determination in the present invention.
