Abstract:
A pattern forming apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a pre-alignment unit that performs pre-alignment for a substrate; a transfer unit that transfers the substrate into the pre-alignment unit; a placing table on which the substrate transferred into the pre-alignment unit is placed; a position detecting unit provided at a position included in the placing table and overlapping with an edge of the substrate, and adapted to detect a position of the edge of the substrate; and a control unit that calculates a positional displacement amount of the substrate from the position of the edge of the substrate detected by the position detecting unit, and controls the placing table on the basis of the positional displacement amount of the substrate to correct the position of the substrate.

Claim (Index 19):
The manufacturing method for a semiconductor device according to  claim 16 , wherein the position of the edge of the substrate is detected by an imaging element, an optical element, a contact element, or a sound collecting element.
