A film thickness measurement apparatus (1) comprises an ellipsometer (3)
for acquiring a polarization state of a film on a substrate (9) and a light
interference unit (4) for acquiring spectral intensity of the film on the
substrate (9). In an optical system (45) of the light interference
unit (4), a light shielding pattern (453a) is disposed in
an aperture stop part (453), and an illumination light from a light source
(41) is emitted to the substrate (9) through the optical system (45).
A reflected light from the substrate (9) is guided to a light shielding
pattern imaging part (43), where an image of the light shielding pattern
(453a) is acquired. When the ellipsometer (3) performs a film
thickness measurement, a tilt angle of the substrate (9) is obtained on
the basis of the image of the light shielding pattern (453a) and
a light receiving unit (32) acquires a polarization state of the reflected
light. An calculation part (51) obtains a thickness of a film with high
precision from the polarization state of the reflected light by using the obtained
tilt angle.
