ABSTRACT:
A method for calculating a position of an image of an alignment mark formed on an object to be detected includes the steps of obtaining first information indicative of a center position in the alignment mark based on a detection signal, obtaining a waveform characteristic of the detection signal as second information, and correcting the first information based on the second information that has been obtained, and a measurement error of the center position of the alignment mark, which result from an optical system for detecting the alignment mark.
