ABSTRACT:
In this exposure apparatus, a grating-like reticle mark formed on the lower surface of a reticle is irradiated with illumination light components RB.sub.1 and RB.sub.2 with an intersecting angle 2.theta. from two directions, respectively, such that diffracted light components are emitted in directions which divide the intersecting angle 2.theta. into three pieces. Interference light formed by a +2-order diffracted light component RB.sub.1.sup.+2 of the illumination light component RB.sub.1 and a -1-order diffracted light component RB.sub.2.sup.-1 of the illumination light component RB.sub.2 or interference light formed by a +1-order diffracted light component RB.sub.1.sup.+1 of the illumination light component RB.sub.1 and a -2-order diffracted light component RB.sub.2.sup.-2 of the illumination light component RB.sub.2 is detected.
