Abstract

A method for fabricating a pattern, includes: delineating a mask pattern on at least a portion of an underlying layer; etching a portion of the mask pattern; irradiating an incident light on the mask pattern to which the etching is performed and detecting a reflected light produced by reflecting the incident light after the incident light is transmitted through the mask pattern; obtaining a reflected interference spectrum; and calculating a pattern width of the mask pattern using data of the reflected interference spectrum, the reflected interference spectrum being in a wavelength range of not less than two times a pitch of the mask pattern.
