To provide an analytical method for a trouble in a semiconductor element capable of narrowing a troubled portion, in particular, as to the semiconductor element provided with an analogue integrated circuit.
A circuit forming face is made to be easily observed from a reverse face side of the semiconductor element, by forming the semiconductor element into a thin film by polishing a reverse face (step ST2). Then, the circuit forming face of the semiconductor element 1 is observed (step ST3) and emission-analyzed spectrometrically (step ST4) to estimate the troubled portion. After estimating the troubled portion, the semiconductor element is repacked (step ST5). A very slight potential difference and a current value are measured thereafter in the estimated troubled portion of the analogue circuit, by a probe needle or the like, to narrow the troubled portion up to a level of transistor (step ST6).
