Abstract

PURPOSE:To form lead taking-out terminals extending upward straight by making it possible to completely remove a thick resist down to the deep part thereof even if terminal patterns are small. CONSTITUTION:This method comprises forming recessed parts 16 of nearly a rectangular shape in longitudinal section by applying a resist 12 thickly on a substrate 10 and repeating plural times a photolithography method so as to penetrate this resist, then forming conductor parts 18 to constitute the lead taking out terminals by a plating method in these recessed parts. The film thickness of the resist to be applied is defined as h and the width of the recessed parts as a, then h/a>=0.6 and a<=90mum are obtd. In addition, a developer added with a surfactant is used at the time of developing the part deeper than depth 30mum form the front surface of the resist in the case of h>30mum. A method of using an ordinary developer and applying ultrasonic vibrations to this developer is an equally good alternative. The film thickness h of the resist is usually about 50mum<=h<=80mum.

2. Description of the Related Art A thin-film magnetic head for a hard disk includes, for example, as shown in the cross section of FIG.
54 is separated by a gap film 56, and a coil film 58 for magnetic field generation and induction current pickup is formed between them. In practice, an insulating film or the like is inserted between the layers, and the coil film is also formed in a plurality of layers, so that the entire head body has a thickness of about 20 to 40 μm. Finally, the head main body is protected by covering it with an alumina protective film 60 having a thickness of about 10 to 20 μm.

At the end of the coil film, it is necessary to form a lead take-out terminal for electrical connection with an external circuit. This terminal must be connected to the coil film on the ceramic substrate at its lower part, and its upper part must be exposed on the alumina protective film. If the height of the alumina protective film is added to the height of the head body, the final product has a height of about 30 to 60 μm. In practice, since the alumina protective film is polished last, it is necessary to make the height of the terminal extra higher by an amount commensurate with it. Moreover,
The shape of the terminal pattern has become smaller and smaller with the miniaturization of the thin film magnetic head, and it has become necessary to highly accurately form a high conductor portion in a pattern having a narrow width.

The lead-out terminals are formed by the photolithography method. When the terminal pattern is large, the resist film thickness is increased to about 60 μm, and exposure / development is repeated several times (about four times) to form a deep recess in the resist film so as to penetrate the resist film. The conductor portion is formed into a terminal by plating.

Recently, with the miniaturization of thin-film magnetic heads, the size of terminal patterns has become 50 × 100.
A small one such as μm is also required. However, when the pattern width of the terminal is narrowed to less than 100 μm, even if the depth of about 30 μm can be developed by the above method,
If it exceeds 0 μm, development cannot be performed at all. In the region having a depth of 30 to 60 μm, some can be developed and some can not be developed, and even if they can be produced, the yield becomes very poor. That is, when the terminal pattern width is wide, there is no problem, but when the terminal pattern width is narrow, it becomes difficult to develop to the deep portion of the resist, and as a result, it is not possible to form a tall conductor portion having a narrow width.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, a thin (about 5 μm thick) resist 72 is applied on a substrate 70, a mask 74 having a terminal pattern is placed thereon, exposed, and developed to penetrate the resist film. After forming the recess 76,
A method has been devised in which the conductor portion 78 is formed by plating to a desired height beyond the film thickness of the resist, and then the resist 72 is removed. The height (thickness) of the conductor portion 78 is 50
Since about 60 μm is necessary, as shown in the figure, the formed conductor portion 78 becomes mushroom-shaped when the resist is removed.

However, in such a method, the lead take-out terminal has a mushroom shape, so that there is a large variation in terminal size, and an abnormal portion occurs in the alumina protective film formed after the resist is removed. That is, the terminal size becomes larger than the terminal pattern formed on the exposure mask, and it is difficult to make the terminal small in the thinning thin film magnetic head. Further, because of the bulged upper part, it becomes difficult to form the protective film around the thin portion which is a shadow therebelow, and the mechanical strength of the terminal is weakened.

It is to provide a method capable of forming a lead lead-out terminal that extends straight upward.

According to the present invention, a thick resist is applied on a substrate, and a photolithography method is repeated a plurality of times to form a recess having a substantially rectangular cross section through the resist. This is a method of forming a conductor portion to be a lead take-out terminal in the recess by plating. In the present invention, where h / a ≧ 0.6 and a ≦ 90 μm, where h is the thickness of the resist to be applied and the width of the recess is a, and when h> 30 μm, the depth from the resist upper surface is 30 μm. When developing a deeper portion, a developer containing a surfactant is used. Alternatively, a normal developing solution is used and ultrasonic vibration is applied to the developing solution. Of course, a method in which both are combined and a surfactant-added developer is used and ultrasonic vibration is applied to the developer may be used.

As the pattern width of the lead take-out terminal becomes narrower, the reason why the thick resist film cannot be developed to the bottom is because the surface tension of the developer causes the developer to reach the bottom of the recess that is being formed in the resist. Because it will be difficult to enter. Specifically, in the case where the width of the terminal pattern is less than 100 μm, if the resist depth exceeds 30 μm, it becomes difficult for the developer to enter, and if it exceeds 60 μm, the developer does not enter at all. However, when a suitable amount of a surfactant is mixed in the developing solution, the developing solution can easily enter even at a depth of more than 30 μm and can be developed to every corner. It can be formed so as to penetrate therethrough. Further, when ultrasonic vibration is applied to the developing solution in the developing step, the developing solution vibrates finely to enter the narrow concave portion, and complete development can be performed up to the bottom.

Thereafter, a mask 14 having a pattern of the lead take-out portion is placed and exposed, and a portion deeper than 30 μm in depth from the upper surface of the resist is developed while applying ultrasonic vibration to the developing solution. Here, an apparatus as shown in FIG. 3 was used. Water 32 is put in the ultrasonic cleaner 30, and a developing container 34 is installed therein.

As described above, the present invention is a method in which a developing solution is mixed with a surfactant or is developed while applying ultrasonic vibration. Therefore, the resist film is thick and the terminal pattern size is narrow. However, the developer can be sufficiently spread to the deep part of the resist concave portion and can be developed. Therefore, even if the terminal pattern is narrow, it is possible to form a terminal that is not mushroom-shaped but extends neatly in a straight line in the vertical direction with a good yield, and it is possible to further miniaturize the thin-film magnetic head.
