Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an excellent frequency characteristic by suppressing the occurrence of the damage of a substrate by terminating a dry etching in a state that a thin film conductor is left by an etching terminal point decision method such as a plasma emission method, etc., when the thin film conductor is worked. CONSTITUTION:In the manufacture of a surface acoustic wave element, a two- layer resist structure of a photosensitive resin layer 4 and a water soluble resin layer 3 is used as resist patterns. Next, photoresist patterns 3'+4' are formed in a photoresist process by using a 1/5 reduced projection exposure method. Next, the Al film of a thin film conductor 2 is worked by a dry etching method such as a microwave plasma etching method, etc., to form a pattern having below 1mum line width by using the patterns 3'+4' as masks. At this time, the etching process is monitored by using an etching terminal point decision method such as a plasma emission method, etc., the dry etching is terminated by leaving the thin film conductor 2 and the surface of a piezoelectric substrate 1 is made a state that it may not be exposed. Next, the remained part of the conductor 2 is formed by a wet processing process combined with the elimination of the resist patterns and a corrosion prevention processing.

However, in the wet etching method which is widely used at present, when the line width becomes 1 μm or less, the variation of the electrode line width due to side etching cannot be ignored, and the etching solution becomes a space part as the pattern becomes finer. Since there is a problem that the etching does not progress, the wet etching method cannot deal with the processing of a fine pattern of 1 μm or less.
