Abstract
A standard pattern of a differential value of an interference light is set with respect to a predetermined film thickness of a first member to be processed. The standard pattern uses a wavelength as a parameter. Then, an intensity of an interference light of a second member to be processed, composed just like the first member, is measured with respect to each of a plurality of wavelengths so as to obtain a real pattern of an differential value of the measured interference light intensity. The real pattern also uses a wavelength as a parameter. Then, the film thickness of the second member is obtained according to the standard pattern and the real pattern of the differential value.
