Abstract

The invention provides an aligner enabling to perform high accuracy positioning at manufacturing a multi-layered circuit board. A board alignment mark is photographed by a CCD camera by irradiating X-ray from an X-ray generator at the state removing a photo mask, and position of the board alignment mark is memorized. Then, the photo mask is set on a print circuit board, a mask alignment mark is photographed, and positioning of the mask alignment mark and the print circuit board is performed by comparing with position of memorized board alignment mark and by moving a platen so that the gap becomes zero.
