Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid for the necessity to relate origins of two interferometer systems by controlling position of a second substrate table in a first direction in accordance with a height map and a measured position, during exposure of a target portion of a substrate. SOLUTION: A projection beam PB of radiation is supplied from a radiation system A to a mask MA, which is held with a first substrate table MT. An irradiated portion of a mask of a second substrate table WT is imaged on a target portion C of a substrate W by using a projection system PL. Position of the second substrate table WT in a first direction is controlled in accordance with a position measured with a height map and a position measuring means IF, during exposure of the target portion C of the substrate W. As a result, necessity to relate origins of two interferometer systems can be evaded.
