A method for measuring the profile of a surface of an object to be measured, in particular comprising zones or structures made from at least two different materials, the object to be measured forming part of a plurality of substantially identical objects, the plurality of objects also comprising at least one reference object having at least one reference surface, the method comprising the following steps:
- determining a correction function, from a first profile signal from a first reference surface and a second profile signal from a second reference surface, the second reference surface being metallized;
- acquiring a profile signal from the surface of the object to be measured;
- and
- applying the correction function to the profile signal from the surface of the object to be measured, in order to obtain a corrected profile signal;
- in which the profile signals are obtained from interferometric measurements.
