Method and apparatus for detecting and analyzing defective semiconductor element.

摘要

A method of detecting a defective portion of a semiconductor element, includes the steps of: setting a semiconductor element (100) on a stage (12) of an emission microscope (11); setting a magnification of the emission microscope low and observing a surface of the semiconductor element by the emission microscope while an electric power is supplied to the semiconductor element; storing a positional information of at least one light emission portion of the semiconductor element observed by the emission microscope; moving the stage on the basis of the stored positional information so that one light emission portion is moved to a view center of the emission microscope; increasing the magnification and collecting a light emission image of one light emission portion by the emission microscope; and moving the stage on the basis of the stored positional information so that another light emission portion is moved to the view center so as to collect a light emission image of another light emission portion by the emission microscope.
