This process is repeated in n fields of view for measurement, where n is the number of the fields of view for measurement, so as to acquire n pieces of data on D, and the pieces are arranged in ascending order D1, D2, . . . , Dn to obtain a reduced variate yj. The obtained values are plotted on X-Y axis coordinates, where an X axis corresponds to D and a Y axis corresponds to yj. In a regression line yj=a×D+b, yj is obtained when a target cross-sectional area S is set to 100 mm2. When the obtained yj is substituted into the regression line, the estimated nitride maximum size is ?25 ?m in diameter.
