<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To present a pattern that monitors erosion amount after CMP for tungsten and the like. Ž<P>SOLUTION: An erosion level generated during plug CMP is evaluated using a monitoring pattern that specifies a hole array size split (a), and a length split of space between arrays split (b) at a certain level. As an effect due to the hole array size increases in accordance with the hole array size, monitoring is performed to check whether the erosion amount reaches a point of saturation at a specific size. Furthermore, monitoring is performed of the length of space that is affected between the arrays. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
