Abstract

There are provided a method of manufacturing a head chip capable of suppressing the occurrence of the failure in the process of forming the actuator plate to thereby increase the yield ratio, and a method of manufacturing a liquid jet head using the above method of manufacturing a head chip. The method of manufacturing a head chip according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a method of manufacturing a head chip having an actuator plate adapted to apply pressure to liquid so as to jet the liquid. Forming the actuator plate includes forming a plurality of grooves on a surface of a piezoelectric substrate having one end and the other end so as to extend from the one end side toward the other end side, forming a conductive film on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate provided with the plurality of grooves, forming a laser processing area in the conductive film between the grooves adjacent to each other by performing laser processing from a start point on the one end side of the piezoelectric substrate to an end point on the other end side, and forming a surface removal area in at least a part including the start point and the end point out of the surface of the piezoe…
