    Abstract: Provided is an optical interference measuring apparatus including a measuring unit for acquiring an interferogram of an interference wave obtained by irradiating a measuring target and a reference surface with electromagnetic waves and causing reflected waves from a reflecting surface of the measurement target and reflected waves from the reference surface to interfere and a signal processing unit for configuring an intensity profile in the depth direction by performing Fourier transform of the interferogram. The signal processing unit is configured to estimate a parameter for a model formula for an assumed surface count, based on the model formula of an interferogram when it is assumed that the measurement target has a predetermined structure, to select an optimal model by a statistical technique from the model formula to which a parameter estimated for the assumed surface count is applied, and to reconfigure an intensity profile based on the optimal model.

    Abstract: Provided is an optical interference measuring apparatus including a measuring unit configured to acquire an interferogram of an interference wave by irradiating a measurement target and a reference surface with electromagnetic waves and causing a reflected wave from a reflecting surface of the measurement target to interfere with a reflected wave from the reference surface and a signal processing unit configured to configure an intensity profile in a depth direction by performing Fourier transform of the interferogram. The signal processing unit includes at least one of a first noise removal unit to remove noise with filtering by deleting data in regions other than a pass region which is a region set with reference to a measurement target installation position from the intensity profile and a second noise removal unit to remove noise by performing singular value decomposition of the interferogram to delete noise component.
