Provided is a temperature measuring method which can accurately measure a temperature of an object to be measured compared to a conventional method, even if a thin film is formed on the object. The temperature measuring method includes: transmitting a light from a light source to a measurement point of an object to be measured, the object being a substrate on which a thin film is formed; measuring a first interference wave caused by a reflected light from a surface of the substrate, and a second interference wave caused by reflected lights from an interface between the substrate and the thin film and from a rear surface of the thin film; calculating an optical path length from the first interference wave to the second interference wave; calculating a film thickness of the thin film based on an intensity of the second interference wave; calculating an optical path difference between an optical path length of the substrate and the calculated optical path length, based on the calculated film thickness of the thin film; compensating for the optical path length from the first interference wave to the second interference wave based on the calculated optical path difference; and calculating a temperature of the object at the measurement point based on the compensated optical path length.
A temperature measuring method comprising:
A computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing, in a computer, a temperature measuring method for measuring a temperature of an object to be measured at a measurement point based on an interference wave of a reflected light received by a light receiving unit, by using a temperature measuring apparatus comprising a light source, a transmitting unit which transmits a light from the light source to the measurement point of the object that is a substrate on which a thin film is formed, and the light receiving unit which receives the reflected light reflected from the object,
A computer executable program recorded in a recording medium for a computer to execute a temperature measuring method for measuring a temperature of an object to be measured at a measurement point based on an interference wave of a reflected light received by a light receiving unit, by using a temperature measuring apparatus comprising a light source, a transmitting unit which transmits a light from the light source to the measurement point of the object that is a substrate on which a thin film is formed, and the light receiving unit which receives the reflected light reflected from the object,
