    摘要: A method for adjusting an optical system of an energy beam apparatus by using a mark signal that is obtained by one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally scanning a mark on a sample with an energy beam. The mark has a one-dimensional or two-dimensional periodic structure. A first mark signal is detected by scanning the mark with a beam. The mark is set on the optical axis of the optical system. A second mark signal is detected by scanning the mark with a beam. The mark is located at a position that is deviated from the optical axis. A deviation of a deflection position is determined based on a phase difference between the first and second mark signals.
