Abstract

This paper discusses how the angular disposition of a photomask during the production of circular optical scales fabricated by lift-off photolithography using this photomask affects their accumulated angular error. The angular errors of the circular optical scales are investigated by using a phase–statistical method, and the errors are determined that are introduced into the angular errors of the scale in conjunction with the image generator and the exposure operation.
