Abstract

A TFT array inspection apparatus includes an electron beam source for irradiating an electron beam, a detecting device for detecting an electron beam emitted from a sample upon irradiating the electron beam to output a detected signal, and a sample potential changing device for changing a sample potential. A calibration device calibrates the detected signal using a calibration curve of the sample potential and the detected signal to obtain the sample potential.
