Abstract:
A position determination method for determining a position of a point on a flat surface by observing the position of the point and a position of a fiducial portion on the flat surface in an image of a measuring system provided with an imaging optical system using coaxial episcopic illumination is provided. The fiducial portion is in the shape of a pillar at least in the basal portion and provided with an inclined surface surrounding the foot of the pillar. The method includes the steps of determining a position of the outer boundary of the foot from the boundary between the inclined surface and the flat surface in the image; determining the position of the fiducial portion from the position of the outer boundary of the foot; and determining the position of the point with respect to the position of the fiducial portion.

Claim (Index 4):
The position determination method according to  claim 1  wherein the inclined surface surrounding the foot is configured so as to connect the flat surface and the side of the pillar or to connect the flat surface and another flat surface that is parallel to the flat surface.
