A liquid discharge head which is inexpensive, accurate, and highly reliable,
and
a method of manufacturing such a liquid discharge head are provided. On a substrate,
a thermal crosslinking positive photosensitive material layer (a first positive
photosensitive material layer) and a second positive photosensitive material layer
are formed. First a pattern is formed on the second positive photosensitive material
layer, then another pattern is formed on the first positive photosensitive material
layer. Next, a negative resin for forming a liquid channel wall is laminated on
the patterned first and second positive photosensitive material layers. A discharge
port is formed in the negative resin layer and then the positive photosensitive
material layers are removed. At this time, the first positive photosensitive material
layer is an ionizing radiation decompositive positive resist composed of a methacrylic
copolymer composite mainly containing methacrylic acid where a metacrylic acid
unit is 2 to 30 wt % and molecular weight is 5,000 to 50,000, and the second positive
photosensitive material layer is an ionizing radiation decompositive positive resist
mainly containing polymethyl isopropenyl ketone.
