- the I-axis skewness image and the Q-axis skewness image are current path images.
- the computer 24 generates a skewness image by multiplying the I-axis skewness image and the Q-axis skewness image.

Multiplying the luminance value q stat of each pixel of the axial skewness image.
- the computer 24 may generate a skewness image by adding the I-axis skewness image and the Q-axis skewness image.
- the addition of the I-axis skewness image and the Q-axis skewness image means that the luminance value i stat of each pixel of the I-axis skewness image and the Q corresponding to each pixel are represented by the following equation (2). This means that the luminance value q stat of each pixel of the axial skewness image is added.
- the computer 24 may generate a skewness image by calculating a square sum square root of the I-axis skewness image and the Q-axis skewness image.
- the calculation of the sum of squares of the squares of the I-axis skewness image and the Q-axis skewness image means that the luminance value i stat of each pixel of the I-axis skewness image, The square sum of squares with the luminance value q stat of each pixel of the Q-axis skewness image corresponding to is calculated.
- the computer 24 appropriately removes shading, binarization, removal of dust in the image, smoothing the current path image (that is, the skewness image, or the I-axis skewness image and the Q-axis skewness image). In addition, by performing finishing processing such as thinning, the visibility of the measurer may be improved, and the current path may be estimated more suitably. The finishing process by the computer 24 will be described with reference to FIGS.
- Shading removal is a process of reducing brightness unevenness from an image with brightness unevenness.
- the luminance value of the pixel near the edge becomes small (luminance drop occurs), and luminance unevenness may occur.
- the computer 24 increases the luminance value of the pixel having the minimum luminance value by a predetermined value among the pixels included in the vicinity of each pixel (for example, n ⁇ n pixels centering on each pixel).
- n ⁇ n pixels centering on each pixel for example, n ⁇ n pixels centering on each pixel.
- Binarization is a process for obtaining a binary image converted from an image with various luminances (grayscale image) into two gradations of white and black. By performing binarization, the contrast of the current path can be improved.
- the computer 24 compares each pixel with a predetermined threshold value, and displays pixels that are above the threshold value in white and pixels that are below the threshold value in black. For example, the computer 24 derives the minimum value and the maximum value among the luminance values of each pixel, sets the range from the minimum value to the maximum value as 100%, and sets the luminance value of 45% as the predetermined threshold described above.
- a binary image shown in FIG. 10B is generated.
- the removal of dust in the image is a process of removing an area of a minute area that is difficult to think of as a current path, and is a process of removing an unnecessary part in the estimation of the current path.
- the computer 24 recognizes a plurality of clusters (areas) of pixels displayed, for example, in white using a known boundary tracking algorithm. Then, the computer 24 recognizes a micro-sized area whose width and height are equal to or less than a certain value among the areas as dust in the image, and removes the dust in the image (FIG. 11A). ).

For example, the computer 24 derives the minimum value and the maximum value among the luminance values of each pixel, sets the range of the maximum value from the minimum value to 100%, and sets the luminance value of 50% as the predetermined threshold described above. By performing binarization again in this way, a binary image shown in FIG. 12A is generated.
- Thinning is a process of converting a binary image into a line image having a width of 1 pixel, for example. By thinning, a line that seems to be a current path is made thinner. Thinning is performed by a known thinning algorithm. Note that thinning processing may be performed on the image (FIG. 11A) from which dust removal has been completed without performing the above-described smoothing and binarization again. However, the smoothness of the line segment is improved by performing the above-described smoothing and binarization again.
- the optical probing technique there is a technique for acquiring a current path of a measurement object based on an amplitude (intensity) image indicating the amplitude of detected reflected light and identifying a failure location of the measurement object.
- the amplitude of the reflected light is likely to change due to the influence of noise components such as uneven thickness of the magneto-optic crystal and scratches on the magneto-optic crystal. Therefore, the SN ratio of the amplitude image is likely to deteriorate. Thereby, in the method of acquiring the current path from the amplitude image, the current path may not be accurately acquired.

Therefore, the polarization state of the reflected light in the current path in the semiconductor device D is different from the polarization state of the reflected light in other locations (locations where no current flows). Therefore, the phase difference between the detection signal related to the reflected light of the current path and the detection signal related to the reflected light in other places is different from that of the reference signal.
- the phase difference between the detection signal related to the reflected light of the current path and the reference signal is a specific value.

- the part indicating the current path that is, the part where the phase difference is one of the specific binary values
- the part not including the current path that is, the phase difference is random. This makes it possible to clearly indicate the location where the value is a small value and to obtain the current path with high accuracy. Such phase difference information is unlikely to change due to the influence of noise components such as uneven thickness of the MO crystal 18 and scratches on the MO crystal 18.
- the phase difference at the location indicating the current path is one of the specific binary values, it is easy to identify the current path, and the identification accuracy is improved. As described above, it is possible to acquire the current path with higher accuracy than in the case of acquiring the current path according to the amplitude image.
- the computer 24 generates statistical value image data indicating the statistical value of the phase component based on the phase image data, and generates a current path image based on the statistical value image data. Specifically, the computer 24 calculates any one of variance, skewness, and kurtosis as a statistical value.
- the brightness values other than the current path location are random values, whereas the brightness values at the current path location are specific binary values. That is, the luminance value is biased at the current path location, and the luminance value varies at other locations than the current path location.

- An image (sine image data) is generated, and a current path image is generated based on the I-axis image and the Q-axis image.
- the case where the phase difference is ⁇ and the case where it is + ⁇ are actually continuous values, but when they are shown as phase images, the luminance values are far from each other.
- the luminance values of the phase components related to the phase differences that are continuously connected to each other can be made close to each other.
- the current path can be obtained with high accuracy.
