Abstract
A method is provided for measuring structures on a mask surface in which the mask is supported on a measuring stage that is interferometrically measurably displaceable perpendicularly to an optical axis of an image-measuring system. A mask coordinate system associated with the mask is aligned using alignment marks relative to a measuring device coordinate system. With set positions of the structures in the mask coordinate system being specified in advance, the positions of at least two external edges of the mask in the mask coordinate system that are perpendicular to one another are measured in addition to the actual positions of the structures in the mask coordinate system.
