Abstract

In a method of manufacturing an electroforming mold, a first photoresist layer is formed on an upper surface of a bottom conductive film 2 of a substrate 1, and the first photoresist layer 3 is divided into a soluble portion 3b and an insoluble portion 3a. Next, a conductive material is thermally deposited on an upper surface of the first photoresist layer within a temperature range in which light with a wavelength within a range not causing photoreaction in the first photoresist layer is emitted, to thereby form an intermediate conductive film 5. Next, the intermediate conductive film is patterned. Thereafter, a second photoresist layer 6 is formed on an exposed upper surface of the first photoresist layer after the intermediate conductive film is removed, and on an upper surface of the intermediate conductive film remaining after patterning. The second photoresist layer is divided into a soluble portion 6b and an insoluble portion 6a. Next, the first photoresist layer and the second photoresist layer are developed, and the soluble portions 3b and 6b are removed. Thus, an electroforming mold 101 having a conductive film at the bottom of each stage is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a mold for a fine component, and in particular to a method of manufacturing an electroformed mold having a multi-stage structure, an electroformed mold, and a method of manufacturing an electroformed part using the electroformed mold. Background technique [0002] Electroforming is suitable for mass production and is used in the manufacture of various components. For example, a needle for a watch is produced by depositing a conductive film on the surface of a resin on which the shape of a master mold has been transferred (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] In addition, a heat press molding method is known as a method of transferring a master mold to a resin (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). The heated press molding method is a method in which the resin is heated to a temperature above the glass transition temperature to soften it, and the shape of the master mold is tr...
