Abstract

A method for positioning an object with patterns being formed thereon, employs a first device for extracting first information relative to patterns in a first region on the object, a second device for extracting second information relative to patterns from a second region including the first region on the object, an operating circuit to calculate a degree of coincidence between the first information and the second information, and a detecting circuit for detecting a position of the first region in the second region, whereby the position of the object can be reproduced with high reproducibility in accordance with the position as detected.
