Abstract:
A growth-rate measuring apparatus has a refractometer to irradiate light of a plurality of different wavelengths to a surface of a substrate to measure a reflectivity of the surface of the substrate per different wavelengths, a fitter to fit a reflectivity calculated by a model function, the model function being obtained in advance, to a measured value of the reflectivity, for at least one layer of thin films laminated one by one on the substrate, with at least one of a refractive index and a growth rate as a fitting parameter, a parameter extractor to extract sets of fitting parameters for each wavelength in the different wavelengths, respectively, for which an error between the calculated reflectivity and the measured value of the reflectivity is minimum, and a parameter selector to select an optimum set of values of the fitting parameter, among the fitting parameters extracted for the different wavelengths.

Claim (Index 12):
The growth-rate measuring method of  claim 9 , wherein a first set of values of fitting parameters are extracted when the error is minimum in fitting for a first wavelength among the plurality of wavelengths, and a second set of values of fitting parameters are extracted when the error is minimum in fitting for the first wavelength and a second wavelength based on the first set of values of fitting parameters, the second wavelength being different from the first wavelength; and\n the set of values of fitting parameters are set as the optimum value when the first set of values of fitting parameters and the second set of values of fitting parameters match each other.
