  • Patent number: 8825448
    Abstract: In a spectroscopic reflectometer, in order to make it possible to omit a supplementary measurement (specifically, measurement of a calibration sample) which has been needed every time a light reflectance of an inspection work is measured to promote the reduction in measurement time and simplification in measurement configuration, an internal reflection mechanism having a constant light reflectance is arranged inside a head so that light reflected by the internal reflection mechanism is received by a photo-detector, whereby the light reflectance of the inspection work is calculated based on an output value of the photo-detector in a state of having substantially no light introduced, an output value of the photo-detector when a dark sample that substantially reflects no light is used, an output value that is an output value of the photo-detector when a calibration sample of a known light reflectance is used as the object, and an output value of the photo-detector when an inspection work to be measured is used.
