It is a figure which shows the relationship between the reflectance of the surface which is not, and a wavelength.
- the horizontal axis in FIG. 9 indicates the wavelength, and the vertical axis in FIG. 9 indicates the reflectance.
- the reflectivity of the surface with the antireflection structure manufactured by the method of the present invention is smaller than the reflectivity of the surface with the antireflection structure manufactured by the method of the prior art in the entire wavelength range. It can be seen that an antireflection structure having high antireflection performance can be manufactured.
- an antireflection structure having high antireflection performance can be manufactured without using patterning. According to this method, it is possible to manufacture a large-area antireflection structure mold without any restrictions other than the size of the reactive ion etching apparatus. Further, according to the present method, an antireflection structure mold for forming an antireflection microstructure on an arbitrary curved surface and an antireflection structure for forming a diffraction grating having an antireflection microstructure A metal mold can be manufactured.
