Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To detect the position information on a substrate with high accuracy by varying an optical characteristic of a film-like body in an exposed area, photodetecting a scattered light generated at the time when this area is irradiated with a light beam and discriminating the exposed area. CONSTITUTION:By radiating a light beam through a window 6 having an opening 7, a light beam 8 is generated, this light beam 8 is radiated to a photoresist layer 2 formed on a substrate 3, and by moving the substrate 3 in parallel to the window 6, or moving the window 6 in parallel to the substrate 3, the light beam 8 is allowed to scan on the whole area of the photresist layer 2. Subsequently, when an exposed area 4 is irradiated with the light beam 8, a strong scattered light is generated, therefore, this scattered light is detected by using a dark field detecting device 9. In such a way, a position of the exposed area 4 can be detected exactly.
