Abstract

See full text

A position detecting apparatus is used with an exposure apparatus for projecting a mask pattern onto a substrate. The position detecting apparatus detects a position of an alignment mark formed on the substrate by sending light through a film having a wavelength-selective feature. The position detecting apparatus includes a light sending system for emitting the position detecting light, a wavelength changing device for adjusting a wavelength band of the position detecting light directed onto the alignment mark, on the basis of the wavelength transmittance of the film having the wavelength-selective feature, and a light receiving system for detecting the light from the alignment mark. The position of the alignment mark can be determined on the basis of a photoelectric conversion signal outputted from the light receiving system.
