An apparatus for measuring the thickness of thin-film cause electron beams of first and second energies to strike thin-film to be measured that is formed on a silicon substrate, and measures the first substrate current value of current flowing in the substrate when it is struck by an electron beam of a first energy and the second substrate current value of current flowing in the substrate when it is struck by an electron beam of a second energy. The thin-film measuring apparatus obtains reference data indicating a relationship between the film thickness and a reference function having as variables the substrate current for the case of an electron beam of the first energy striking a standard sample and the substrate current for the case of an electron beam of the second energy striking the standard sample, and calculates the thickness of the thin-film under measurement based on the first and second substrate current values, giving consideration to the reference data. |
