A test apparatus for detecting defects on a plate is disclosed. An illumination light is focused to one surface of the plate and another illumination light is focused to the other surface of the plate, and scattered light from the defects on the surfaces are detected to separately detect the defects on the front and rear surfaces of the plate.

A focusing position detecting device in which a laser beam is directed through an objective lens toward the surface of an object to form a minute spot on the surface of the object, and the beam reflected from the surface of the object is led through the objective lens again toward a concentrating point, so as to detect the focusing position of the objective lens by measuring the position of the concentrating point. In the device, a photoelectric element is provided to detect the intensity of the reflected beam, and the intensity of the laser beam is so controlled that the output of the photoelectric element is maintained constant.

Disclosed herein are method of and apparatus for detecting a foreign substance on an object by illuminating said object, detecting via an optical system light reflected from said object and detecting said foreign substance in distinction from a background. The object is exposed to first illumination such that light reflected from said background is suppressed but light reflected from said foreign substance is highlighted relative to the light reflected from said background. The light reflected from said object as a result of said first illumination is detected, thereby obtaining a first detection signal. The object is exposed to second illumination such that light reflected from said background is free from suppression relative to the light reflected from said substance as a result of said second illumination. The light reflected from said object as a result of said second illumination is detected, thereby obtaining a second detection signal. Foreign-substance-highlighting processing is performed on said first detection signal by using said second detection signal, whereby said substance is detected.

A position of a chuck 10 is detected. The movements of the stages 5 and 7 are controlled according to a result of detecting the position of the chuck 10, so as to position the chuck 10. Further, a light receiving means 51 is disposed on the chuck 10 for receiving a light beam irradiated from a head 20a of a light beam irradiation device 20. The misalignment of the head 20a of the light beam irradiation device 20 is detected based on the received light beam. According to a result of detecting the misalignment, a coordinate of drawing data supplied to a DMD driving circuit 27 of each light beam irradiation device 20 is modified. Moreover, the drawing data with the modified coordinate is supplied to the DMD driving circuit 27 of each light beam irradiation device 20.

A range of a coordinate of drawing data supplied to a digital micromirror device (DMD) driving circuit 27 of a light beam irradiation device 20 is determined to configure a bandwidth of a light beam irradiated from an irradiation optical system of the light beam irradiation device 20. The drawing data having the determined range of the coordinate is supplied to the DMD driving circuit 27 of the light beam irradiation device 20. Movement of a stage 7 is controlled to move a chuck 10 for only a distance less than the bandwidth of the light beam irradiated from the irradiation optical system of the light beam irradiation device 20 towards a direction perpendicular to a scanning direction of the substrate by the light beam of the light beam irradiation device 20, at each scanning, and a same region of the substrate is scanned multiple times.

The CCD sensor receives part of the exciting light from the laser diode as stray light and detects its wavelength. The Peltier device temperature setting generating means is such that, in accordance with the wavelength of stray light as detected periodically with said CCD sensor according to the program stored in said memory, it calculates a corrective value that adjusts the detected wavelength of stray light to the desired wavelength of exciting light that corresponds to the desired temperature setting and that an appropriate temperature setting signal is generated on the basis of said corrective value and the desired temperature setting and sent to the Peltier device temperature control circuit.
