ABSTRACT:
A manufacturing method of a thin-film element having a lower layer with a narrower width is provided, which comprises steps of: forming a first film and a second film on the first film; forming a second layer having a width WUPobtained by trimming the second film; forming a mask film having a smaller etching rate than the first film so as to cover the second layer; forming a pattern having a width WTRlarger than the width WUP, obtained by collectively trimming the mask film covering the second layer and at least an upper portion of the first film; and forming a first layer having a width WLOsmaller than the width WUPor having a portion with a width WLOsmaller than the width WUP, obtained by trimming the first film without changing the width WUPof the second layer.
