<；P>；PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a microneedle patch having sharp tips and good surface smoothness with a relatively simple process, and to provide a microneedle having low surface roughness obtained by the method. <；P>；SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing an original includes: a photosensitive member forming step of providing a photomask having a plurality of island-like light shielding portions for partially shielding light on a photoresist layer to form a photosensitive member； an exposure step of selecting and controlling the exposure portion of the photoresist through the photomask by irradiating the photosensitive member with light from above the member； and a photoresist processing step of removing the photomask from the photosensitive member and developing the resist； wherein the exposure step includes an orientation adjusting irradiation step of subjecting the photosensitive member to multiple irradiation in different irradiation directions. <；P>；COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
