Abstract

A method of forming a thin film pattern on a base having a step portion. This method comprises a first step of forming a thin film of given material on the base, a second step of forming a predetermined pattern of a first photoresist film on said thin film at one of a first portion including a lower part of the step portion and a second portion including an upper part of the step portion, a third step of forming a predetermined pattern of a second photoresist film on said thin film at the other of the first and second portions and a fourth step of applying ion-milling to said thin film of given material using masks said first and second photoresist film patterns formed on said thin film at the first and second portions.
