Abstract

A thickness measuring device is provided. The thickness measuring device may include a terahertz wave signal processing unit configured to receive a terahertz wave according to at least one mode of a reflection mode and a transmission mode, a refractive index information acquisition unit configured to acquire refractive index information of the thickness measurement sample in consideration of second-time difference information between a first reflected terahertz wave and a second reflected terahertz wave, and a thickness information acquisition unit configured to acquire thickness information of the thickness measurement sample in consideration of the refractive index information.
