A resist pattern forming apparatus comprising a controller having a
controlling portion that controls a processing of a coating and
developing apparatus with a coating unit and a developing unit being
provided therewith and an aligner being connected thereto, while an
inspecting portion and the like measures at least one of a plurality of
measurement items selected from, a reflection ratio and a film thickness
of a base film and a resist film, a line width after the development, an
accuracy that the base film matches with a resist pattern, a defect after
the development, and so on. The measured data is transmitted to the
controller. At the controller, a parameter subject to an amendment is
selected based on the corresponding data of each of the measurement item
such as the film thickness of the resist and the line width after the
development, and the amendment of the parameters subject to the amendment
is performed. As a result, the amending operation is facilitated by a
reduced workload of an operator and in the same time, the appropriate
amendment can be performed.
