ABSTRACT:
There are provided an inspection apparatus and method that can locally perform sample temperature regulation, so that the sample drift can be suppressed. There are included a sample stage109that holds a semiconductor sample118, multiple probes106used to measure electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device on the semiconductor sample118, a power source that applies voltage and/or current to the probe106, a detector that measures electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device on the sample with which the probe is brought into contact, and an electromagnetic wave irradiating mechanism that irradiates electromagnetic wave on a measurement section of the semiconductor sample118.
