Abstract

A detection apparatus, which detects a mark formed on a lower surface of a target object, includes: a first detector which illuminates the mark from an upper surface side of the target object to detect an image of the illuminated mark; a second detector which detects an upper surface position of the target object; and a processor which obtains information indicating a focus position to focus on the mark in the first detector, based on the upper surface position detected by the second detector.
