DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional filtration membrane, since the through-holes are formed by the etching technique such as direct current electrolysis in order to fulfill the filtration function, as shown in FIG. Inevitably, the surface of the foil (11) becomes rough, coarse irregularities (13) are formed on the surface other than the through pits (12), and the through pits (12) become enlarged portions (12a) on the surface of the foil. Can not be distorted to be formed. Therefore, when the filtration membrane is used for the purpose of separating fine particles, it is likely to cause clogging at a relatively early stage, and particularly when it is used as a supporting substrate for a gas separation membrane for separating and concentrating oxygen in the air. However, there is a problem that the separation supporting film (14) cannot be formed uniformly. That is, for the above-mentioned oxygen separation, a siloxane-based polymer monomolecular film whose dissolution rate of O 2 and N 2 is reported to be O 2 / N 2 ≈2 / 1, for example, is accumulated on a porous substrate to form a composite film. However, in the conventional etching foil, the pore size of the etching pit is large on the surface portion of the foil, and since the foil surface has coarse unevenness, the monomolecular film is poorly carried at that portion, which However, there is a problem that the separation function is significantly impaired because the defects cannot be formed uniformly.
