ABSTRACT:
A method for evaluating a process of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit including a deposition step and a polishing step after the deposition step, the method includes: dividing the semiconductor integrated circuit into a plurality of areas; determining a deposition height after the deposition step for each of the areas; and determining a risk value for each of the areas on the basis of a difference in the deposition height between each of the areas and its adjacent areas.
