Abstract

A lift-off method for fine patterning includes the steps of: applying a photoresist layer to a substrate; implanting ions into predetermined regions in a surface layer of the photoresist layer; irradiating the photoresist layer with ultraviolet from above; developing the photoresist layer to form a resist pattern for lift-off; depositing a desired material with a predetermined thickness from above the resist pattern; and removing the resist pattern, thereby lifting off the material on the resist pattern, whereby a fine pattern of the desired material is left on the substrate.
