The present application discloses a method for analyzing a layout pattern density, comprising: step 1, providing layouts of a chip, and merging the layouts to form a wafer level layout, wherein the wafer level layout presents a first circle in a top view, and the layout comprises a plurality of mask layers; step 2, segmenting the first circle to form a plurality of check windows; step 3, searching for the mask layer containing the patterns having a height morphology, and combining the found mask layers into a pattern layer combination; step 4, sequentially calculating a pattern density of the pattern layer combination in each check window; and step 5, recording the pattern density in each check window on a third circle to form a wafer level pattern density distribution diagram. The present application can predict a height morphology of a top surface of a wafer related to a layout.
