Abstract

An etching apparatus calculates an emission intensity in the vicinity of each of a plurality of wavelengths, at which a specified element should emit light, from information indicating light emission measured by an optical emission spectroscope during etching processing and, if it is determined that the calculated emission intensity information and emission intensity information stored in a storage unit are similar, extracts a wavelength, corresponding to the calculated emission intensity, with the wavelength associated with the element.
