ABSTRACT:
A profile simulation method of predicting a profile of a surface of a film to be processed which changes when the surface of the film on a substrate is physically or chemically processed, is characterized by comprising the steps of setting a plurality of representative points on the surface of the film before a process, moving the plurality of representative points in a first direction perpendicular to the surface of the film on the substrate in accordance with processing velocities at the plurality of representative points, switching the moving direction of the representative points from the first direction to a second direction parallel to the surface of the film on the substrate, and moving the plurality of representative points in the second direction in accordance with processing velocities at the plurality of representative points, and setting all loci of the plurality of representative points, which have moved from the first direction to the second direction in a predetermined processing time, as paths, and obtaining a envelope or surface for all the paths as a profile after the process.
