Abstract

A system of analyzing a crystal defect includes an image processor, an image generator, and a comparator. The image processor processes a measured transmission electron microscope (TEM) image that is provided by capturing an image of a specimen having a crystal structure, to provide structural defect information of the specimen. The image generator provides a plurality of virtual TEM images corresponding to a plurality of three-dimensional structural defects of the crystal structure. The comparator compares the measured TEM image with the plurality of virtual TEM images using the structural defect information to determine a defect type of the measured TEM image.
