Patent ID: 6876935

Claim:
A method of correcting a measurement error, in which the impedance of an electronic component is measured by an actual measuring device generating a measurement result different from that of a standard measuring device, and then the obtained value of impedance is corrected to the value which would be obtained from the standard measuring device, the method comprising: preparing a correction-data obtaining sample which generates an impedance equal to an arbitrary impedance of the electronic component by a measuring operation; measuring the impedance of the correction-data obtaining sample by using the standard measuring device and the actual measuring device; obtaining an interrelated expression of the measurement result generated by the actual measuring device and the measurement result generated by the standard measuring device, the interrelated expression uniquely indicating the relationship between the true measurement value of the standard measuring device and the true measurement value of the actual measuring device; and correcting the impedance of the electronic component to the impedance which would be obtained from the standard measuring device by substituting the impedance of the electronic component measured by the actual measuring device into the interrelated expression so as to calculate the interrelated expression.
