Abstract:
A film thickness measurement method capable of measuring the film thickness of a coating film in a short period of time while maintaining the advantages of the destructive measurement method that a high measurement accuracy can be obtained are provided. A film thickness measurement method according to an embodiment is a film thickness measurement method for measuring, in a coating film  10  including a plurality of films laminated in layers, the film thickness in each of layers  1 - 4,  the method including: a working step for performing cutting work on the coating film  10  in such a way that the coating film  10  has a predetermined gradient; and a measuring step for deriving the film thickness in each of the layers  1 - 4  by measuring distances of boundaries  15 a - 15 e  of the respective layers  1 - 4  in the coating film  10  exposed as a result of the cutting work.
