Abstract

The temperature of the surface and/or inside of a substrate is measured by irradiating the front surface or rear surface of the substrate, whose temperature is to be measured, with light and measuring the interference of a reflected light from the substrate and a reference light. A method and apparatus for measuring temperature or thickness which is suitable for directly measuring the temperature of the outermost surface layer of a substrate, and an apparatus for treating a substrate for an electronic device, which uses such method, are provided.
