Abstract

A mastering machine comprises a turntable being capable of holding a master disk, a detector disposed in noncontact with the turntable for detecting repetitive runout amount of the turntable in the radial direction thereof, a non-repetitive runout amount calculator for calculating a non-repetitive runout amount in the radial direction of the turntable on the output of the detector, a projector for projecting an exposure beam to the master disk held by the turntable and a compensation unit for adjusting the position of the exposure beam projected to the master disk on the basis of a signal from the non-repetitive runout amount calculator.
