The present invention pertains to a device and a method for measuring a via hole of a silicon wafer, wherein it is possible to precisely measure the depth of the via hole without damaging the wafer. Broadband infrared light is radiated to a silicon wafer which has a superior light transmission property, so that the depth of the via hole may be measured from the light which is reflected from each boundary surface of the wafer and the interference signal of reference light. The via hole measuring device according to the present invention includes: a light source unit for generating broadband infrared light; and an interferometer for radiating the light generated from the light source unit to a silicon wafer, so as to measure the depth of a via hole formed on the wafer according to the spectrum period of the interference signal of the light, which is reflected from the silicon wafer.
A device for measuring a via hole of a silicon wafer, the device comprising a light source unit, and an interferometer that irradiates a light generated from the light source unit to the silicon wafer and measures a depth of the via hole formed in the wafer from an interference signal of a light reflected by the silicon wafer,
