The reproducible technologies for obtaining a negative tilt of the thick positive phototresist mask have been investigated for the lift off and electroplating applications. The possible variation range of the profile has been shown and the control mechanism of the mask tilt has been explained. The key parameters affecting the technological process have been investigated and the tolerances of these parameters from the nominal value have been specified.
