A method of inspecting an interconnection pattern formed by depositing a
metal onto a substrate having an interconnection pattern groove formed on
a surface thereof includes: selectively measuring a thickness of a part
above the substrate of a metal film formed on the substrate, the part
above the substrate being a part constituted of the metal deposited
upward from substantially the same surface as the surface of the
substrate on which an interconnection pattern groove is formed; and
evaluating how successfully the interconnection pattern groove is filled
with the metal on the basis of a film thickness value obtained by the
selective measurement.
