Abstract
A reticle stage moves while holding the reticle. A stage controller detects the acceleration of the reticle stage based on the results of detection of an laser interference system. A main control system controls movement of the reticle stage so that the acceleration detected by the reticle stage becomes within a predetermined range of acceleration of the reticle stage where offset will not occur in the reticle. An image of the pattern formed on the reticle is transferred to a wafer through a projection optical system while synchronously moving the reticle and the wafer.
