ABSTRACT:
An electron beam test system which can determine whether a potential is high or low for a DC signal or a signal having no potential change before the time of observation. The electron beam test system obtains potential contrast data for analysis by irradiating electron beam to a semiconductor integrated circuit device which is an analysis object. This system has a tester which supplies a test pattern signal for analysis to the semiconductor integrated circuit device and holds the supplied test pattern signal at a given time; an electron gun which irradiates electron beam to the semiconductor integrated circuit device in response to the hold; and a detector which detects the potential contrast data of the semiconductor integrated circuit device which is irradiated with electron beam.
