Abstract
This invention provides a reliable blanking aperture array. An insulating layer and conductive layer are sequentially formed on the lower surface of a substrate. Then, a plurality of pairs of opposing trenches are formed in the substrate, and an insulating layer is formed on each of the side surfaces of the trenches by thermal oxidation. The conductive layer is exposed by etching the bottom of each trench. A conductive member is selectively grown in each trench using the conductive layer as a plating electrode to form a blanking electrode. An opening is formed between the opposing blanking electrodes.
