Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent microcracks from being generated in a heating element or a protective film, by a method wherein Pd is left only at pattern parts by photolithography, a flexible film is adhered to a protuberant form support, then a resistor layer is provided by electroless plating, and a wiring layer and a protective film are provided. CONSTITUTION:A layer of Pd is provided on the flexible film 1, followed by photolithography to cover Pd at the pattern parts with a resist, and Pd is etched by using the resist as a mask, whereby Pd is left on the film 1 only at the pattern parts. The resist is removed, and the film 1 is adhered to the protuberant form support 2 by an adhesive. Electroless plating is conducted to provide the resistor layer 3 on Pd at the pattern parts. Parts of the resistor layer 3 to become heating elements are covered by a resist by printing or the like, followed by electroplating to provide the wiring layer 4 on the resistor layer 3 except the parts to be the heating elements. The resist is removed, and the protective film 5 is provided on the exposed parts (to be the heating elements) of the resistor layer 3.

First, a sufficient amount of Pd for plating precipitation is applied onto the flexible film 1 shown in FIG. 1(a). Next, photolithography (resist process) is performed on the flexible film 1, and the Pd in the pattern portion (wiring portion and heating element portion) is covered with resist. After that, add aqua regia (3 parts hydrochloric acid to 1 part nitric acid), nitric acid, hot concentrated sulfuric acid, or an iodine/potassium iodide solution (
For example, using the resist as a mask, Pd is etched (photolithography etching process) using KI2:KCj'l:1.2:10 solution of pure water. As a result, Pd remains only in the pattern area on the flexible film l. After this etching, the resist used as a mask is removed ◎ Next, the flexible film l with Pd left only in the pattern area is held in a convex shape as shown in Figure 1(b). Attach to body 2 using adhesive.
