Abstract
The exposure apparatus includes a first detector, a first alignment unit, a second detector, and a second alignment unit, and a controller, wherein the controller controls the second alignment unit so that alignment of a substrate is conducted based on a detection result from detection of the mark by the second detector in a first view when alignment of the substrate can be conducted by the first alignment unit at a prescribed alignment accuracy, and controls the second alignment unit so that alignment of the substrate is conducted based on a detection result from detection of the mark by the second detector in a second view that is wider than the first view when alignment of the substrate cannot be conducted by the first alignment unit at the prescribed alignment accuracy.
