Abstract

A flare measuring mask and a flare measuring method are capable of measuring flare at high sensitivity by an optical measuring instrument. The first measuring portion has a double cross shielding area including first stripe-shaped shielding portions of the same figure aligned in parallel at regular intervals and third stripe-shaped shielding portions of the same figure aligned in parallel at regular intervals, crossing with the first shielding portions at right angles, and the second measuring portion includes second-stripe shaped shielding portions identical to the first shielding portions of the first measuring portion and fourth stripe-shaped shielding portions identical to the third shielding portions, crossing with the second shielding portions at right angles in a central portion. In the resist length measuring process, the presence of the flare is checked by measuring the length of the resist pattern corresponding to the respective shielding portions in the longitudinal direction.
