This paper describes an alignment technique applied to wafer stepper for sub-micron lithography. To obtain an alignment signal, a heterodyne interferometer is used . The detection plane is located at the conjugate position on the wafer surface to reduce an error caused by the tilt of wafer surface. Sensitibity of 8 nm is obtained stably with this system . In addition, a software
