Abstract
In a system for evaluating a semiconductor device, a laser beam generating unit generates a laser beam, and an optical fiber receives the laser beam to heat an area of the semiconductor device. A current deviation detector or a voltage deviation detector is connected to a terminal of the semiconductor device. As a result, the current deviation detector or the voltage deviation detector detects a current deviation or a voltage deviation at the terminal of the semiconductor device.
