Abstract

A probe device of the present invention measures a position of every chip in a wafer to be inspected to acquire the position as actual measurement data. Then, the probe device calculates a variation amount of an actual measurement position of each chip or a variation amount of a position at which a probe is brought into contact with the each chip of the wafer on the basis of the actual measurement data, and allows a monitor to display a range-of-variation display image that visually displays the variation amount. In the image, a quadrangular area corresponding to the each chip is displayed, and a dot is displayed in each the quadrangular area at a position shifted from a center position thereof in accordance with the variation amount.
