Abstract

By forming a lift-off resist pattern on a surface of a first layer, forming a second layer over the first layer surface including the resist pattern, removing the resist pattern to partially expose the first layer surface, and etching the exposed area of the first layer, a micropattern having a high resolution of 0.3 &mgr;m or less and improved dimensional control is obtained.
