<p>A surface inspection apparatus (1) has a stage (5) for supporting a wafer (10) on which predetermined patterns have been formed by exposure using an exposure device (100); an illumination system (20) for irradiating an illuminating light on the surface of the wafer (10) supported by the stage (5); an imaging device (35) for detecting light from the surface of the wafer (10) on which illuminating light has been irradiated, and outputting a detection signal; and an image processing unit (40) for determining the focus state during exposure, on the basis of the detection signal sent from the imaging device (35).</p> |
