Abstract

An inspection apparatus includes a first optical module including a first light source configured to emit first light to a semiconductor structure, a second light source configured to emit second light different from the first light to a portion adjacent to a portion to which the first light is emitted in the semiconductor structure, a detector configured to detect the second light reflected toward the second light source, and a lock-in amplifier connected to the first optical module and the detector.
