Abstract
A method for manufacturing an ink jet recording head involves forming discharge ports by irradiating a laser beam onto a member which becomes the discharge port plate through a mask having specific patterns thereon. The mask includes a transmission section which regulates the shape of the discharge ports, and an attenuation section formed on the outer circumference of the transmission section so that the further the attenuation section is from the transmission, the less the laser beam becomes. This method also involves forming the discharge ports by irradiating the laser beam through the mask to the member, and each port has a cross-sectional shape which gradually tapers from a rectangular shape at a side of the port connected with the liquid flow path to a circular shape at a recording liquid discharge side of the port.
