    摘要: A pattern position detecting method and an apparatus comprises spatial coherence variable means for illuminating a two-dimensional pattern formed on a wafer and its vicinity through a projection lens under the state that spatial coherence of pattern illumination light is elevated in one direction with respect to said two-dimensional pattern and lowered in the other direction perpendicular to said one direction. Two-dimensional reflection images from the pattern and its vicinity obtained through the lens are image-formed by an image-formation optical system. The intensity distribution of the two-dimensional reflection light is detected by light-intensity-distribution detection means so that a detection signal produced from this detection means indicates the position of the two-dimensional pattern.
