The force for loading the device manufacturing wafer W onto the wafer holder WH inside the opening 50a without any trouble is provided. If the degree is low, When a wafer W is loaded on the wafer holder WH inside the opening 50a, there is a possibility that the wafer W and the inner peripheral edge of the opening 50a are in contact with each other, which may make loading difficult.

- step 240 the positional relationship between the inner peripheral edge of the opening 50a and the object in the opening 50a is acquired. Specifically, based on the position information of the above K locations (here, 8 locations) on the outer peripheral edge of the object in the opening 50a, for example, the location information of the object calculated by the least squares method (for example, the center of the object) Position information on the stage coordinate system (X, Y) and position information of the opening 50a of the liquid repellent plate 50 obtained in step 224 (for example, the stage coordinate system (X, Y of the center point of the opening 50a) ) On the position of the inner circumference edge of the opening 50a and the object in the opening 50a, for example, the deviation between the center of the opening 50a and the center of the object (tool wafer W1 or wafer W). Information is obtained by calculation.
- the wafer stage WST is moved to the wafer exchange position, and the object (tool wafer W1 or wafer W) is transferred from the wafer holder WH using the transfer arm 70 of the transfer system 72 and the center up 34a to 34c. Unload.

- the positional relationship between the transfer arm 70 and the wafer stage WST is adjusted for both the transfer arm 70 and the wafer stage WST.

- next step 250 based on the measurement result in step 248, it is determined whether the interval is within the allowable range over the entire circumference of the wafer. Normally, as described above, the outer peripheral edge of the wafer W is not in contact with the inner peripheral edge of the liquid repellent plate 50a (the inner peripheral edge of the recess on the upper surface of the wafer table WT B). Since the wafer W is loaded onto the wafer holder WH so that the distance between the inner edge of the opening 50a and the inner peripheral edge of the opening 50a becomes smaller than 0.3 mm, for example, the determination in step 250 is affirmed and the process proceeds to the next step 252. .
- step 250 As a result of performing the determination in step 250 based on the measurement result in step 248 due to an outer diameter error of the wafer W, the determination result may be negative. Therefore, if the determination in step 250 is negative, the process proceeds to step 242 described above, and the first wafer W is unloaded from the wafer holder. Then, the operations of step 244, step 246, step 248, and step 250 are performed on the second wafer W in the same manner as described above. In this case, in step 244, the second wafer W is attached to the wafer step. When loading the wafer (wafer holder), the positional relationship between the transfer arm and the wafer stage is adjusted in consideration of the measurement result of step 248 for the first wafer W. If the determination in step 250 regarding the second wafer W is affirmed, the process proceeds to the next step 252.
- step 252 the alignment mark on wafer W is detected using alignment system ALG, and the position information of alignment mark is determined based on the detection result and the measurement value of interferometer system 118 at the time of detection. Wafer alignment such as enhanced global alignment (EGA) is performed.
