Abstract

According to one embodiment, a control method for an exposure apparatus is disclosed. The method can include retrieving, from a database, a correction amount of alignment correction at a time of exposure of a wafer and an inclination amount of a wafer stage with respect to an optical axis of an exposure optical system at the time of exposure. The method can include making a determination on the inclination amount based on a predetermined condition. The method can include making a determination on the correction amount based on the predetermined condition. In addition, the method can include issuing an alarm when the inclination amount and the correction amount both satisfy the condition.
