Patent ID: 7854829

Claim:
A method of plating for forming plating patterns of a plurality of layers, comprising process of forming a plating layer in each of the plurality of layers, the method comprising the steps of: forming a plating foundation layer, forming a resist frame having an aperture and a constant line width and one or more auxiliary resist patterns having a line width equal to the constant line width of the resist frame respectively on the plating foundation layer, forming the plating layer selectively by electrodeposition on the plating foundation layer other than portions covered with the resist frame and the auxiliary resist patterns, removing the resist frame and the auxiliary resist patterns, and removing the plating layer other than the plating pattern surrounded by the resist frame, wherein an area of the plating layer electrodeposited is constant in each of the plurality of layers, and a sum total of an area of the resist frame and the auxiliary resist patterns in each of the plurality of layers is constant.
