Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pattern measuring method to appropriately measure a height and a depth of a pattern having a high aspect ratio. The method includes measuring a width between a first pattern and another pattern formed on a wafer; calculating a value regarding an azimuth angle of a signal emitted from the wafer; and calculating height information from a portion between the first pattern and the other pattern to an upper portion of a pattern based on the measured width between the first pattern and the other pattern, the value regarding the azimuth angle, the value regarding an elevation angle, and relationship information thereof.
