An overlay measurement apparatus can judge whether an overlay displacement
found from an image is accurate. It has a first measuring unit that
captures images of first and second marks formed in different layers of a
substrate and finds an overlay displacement between the two marks based
on the images formed with light with a measurement wavelength range, a
second measuring unit that captures the images of the two marks formed
with light with an evaluation wavelength range different from the
measurement wavelength range and finds the overlay displacement between
the marks based on the images formed with the light with the evaluation
wavelength range, and a calculation unit that calculates an index for
accuracy of the overlay displacement in the measurement wavelength range
based on the overlay displacements in the measurement and evaluation
wavelength ranges found by the first and second measuring unit.
