Abstract

It is to provide a process for forming a mask pattern and a process for producing a thin film magnetic head, in which burr is not formed on removing a resist. The process for forming a mask pattern comprises a first coating step of coating a first resist on a surface, on which the mask pattern is formed; a first exposure step of forming a pattern latent image by exposing the first resist; a second coating step of coating a second resist on the first resist; a second exposure step of forming a pattern latent image by exposing the second resist; a first development step of forming an upper layer mask pattern by developing the second resist; and a second development step of forming a lower layer mask pattern by developing the first resist, the upper layer mask pattern having a resist bridge part, and a space being present between the resist bridge part and the surface, on which the mask pattern is formed.
