An etching system for subjecting a single film to be etched to etching involves a plurality of etching steps in which respective different recipes are applied. The etching system employs recipe generating means which fixes the recipe to be applied to the final etching step, affecting an underlying film making contact with the film to be etched, of the etching steps, to a preset recipe, and which generates a recipe to be applied to the residual etching step on the basis of the results of processing. Etching processing is conducted according to the recipes generated by the recipe generating means.

Standard patterns of differential values of interference light that correspond to a predetermined step height of the first material being processed and standard patterns of differential values of interference light that correspond to a predetermined remaining mask layer thickness of the material are set. These standard patterns use wavelengths as parameters. Then, the intensities of interference light of multiple wavelengths are measured for a second material that has the same structure as the first material. Actual patterns with wavelength as parameter are determined from differential values of the measured interference light intensities. Based on the standard patterns and the actual patterns of the differential values, the step height and the remaining mask layer thickness of the second material are determined.
