<p>An alignment system usable in an exposure apparatus for printing a pattern of a mask on a wafer, for aligning the mask and the wafer, is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of position detecting devices; a plurality of driving stages corresponding to the position detecting devices, respectively, each driving stage being adapted to move corresponding one of the position detecting devices two-dimensionally along a plane which is substantially opposed to the mask; a plurality of contacts corresponding to the position detecting devices, respectively, each contact being provided at an end portion of corresponding one of the position detecting devices, along the plane and facing to the pattern side; a detecting device for detecting mutual approach of the position detecting devices through at least one of contacts; and a control device for controlling movement of at least one of the driving stages in accordance with the detection by the detecting device.</p> |
