ABSTRACT:
An exposure apparatus includes a stage for carrying thereon a wafer; an exposure system for projecting radiation energy to the wafer to print a pattern thereon; and a detection optical system having a sigma value defined as the ratio of the diameter of an image of an aperture of a stop to the diameter of the aperture of the stop for projecting a radiation beam to the wafer and for receiving a reflection beam reflected from the wafer to detect a mark of the wafer which is defined by a level difference on the wafer, the detection optical system including an adjuster for changing the sigma value in accordance with the level difference defining the mark.
