ABSTRACT:
In a flatness measurement apparatus, a sensor unit having a flatness-detection sensor is slidable along the linear guide rail. A support system supports the linear guide rail such that the linear guide rail is rotatable in a horizontal plane, whereby a surface of a wafer stage to be measured is scanned all over with the sensor unit having the flatness-detection sensor so as to ensure a flatness measurement of the whole surface of the wafer stage.
