ABSTRACT:
An exemplary apparatus for detecting defect is capable of measuring temperature characteristics of a semiconductor sample without restrictions in the movement range of a sample stage and a probe device by a temperature control device. A heater heats a sample stage, and the sample stage is cooled by a refrigerant contained in a refrigerant container through a heat transfer line connected to the sample stage, a first heat receiving portion connected to the heat transfer line, a second heat receiving portion that is detachable from the heat receiving portion, a heat transfer line connected to the heat receiving portion, and a heat transfer rod connected to the heat transfer line, thereby adjusting the temperature of a semiconductor sample held by the sample stage. The heat receiving portions are separated from each other to release the restriction of the sample stage and a probe device such that the sample stage and the, probe device can be moved in a sample chamber.
