<;P>;PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the manufacturing method of a microneedle-like body which is suitable for mass production and which has a sharp tip and a thick and strong root, and to provide a method for manufacturing the needle-like body and the needle-like body. <;P>;SOLUTION: The manufacturing method of the microneedle-like body comprises: a step of applying a positive photoresist on a substrate; a step of performing patterning processing to the positive photoresist using a mask having an opening part; a step of forming a filling layer at the patterned positive photoresist; and a step of exfoliating the filling layer. The mask having the opening part has a micro lens for focusing the light having passed through the opening part on the positive photoresist. <;P>;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
