An internal defect or the like of a transfer mask is detected using transmitted light quantity distribution data of an inspection apparatus. Using a die-to-die comparison inspection method, inspection light is irradiated to a first region of a thin film to obtain a first transmitted light quantity distribution, the inspection light is also irradiated to a second region of the thin film to obtain a second transmitted light quantity distribution, a predetermined-range difference distribution is produced by plotting coordinates at which difference light quantity values calculated from a comparison between the first transmitted light quantity distribution and the second transmitted light quantity distribution are each not less than a first threshold value and less than a second threshold value, and a selection is made of a transfer mask in which a region with high density of plotting is not detected in the predetermined-range difference distribution. |
