Abstract

An optical measurement device and method are disclosed. A position measurement device is provided with a device for measuring inclinations of an optical detection module (5) and a substrate carrier (6) which are measured during movement of the optical detection unit and the substrate carrier. Calculation and correction can be made according to the inclination data and with reference to displacements of the optical detection module (5) and the substrate carrier (6) and coordinates of their positions. During measurement for a certain point on the substrate, measured data related to the point is corrected by using the device and the method, which improves measurement precision, thus eliminating a large error caused in measurement for a large-sized substrate (9).
