  • Patent number: 10675788
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a mold, the mold having at its surface a plurality of recessed portions whose two-dimensional size is not less than 10 nm and less than 500 nm when viewed in a direction normal to the surface, the method including: (a) providing a mold base, (b) partially anodizing an aluminum alloy layer, thereby forming a porous alumina layer which has a plurality of minute recessed portions; and (c) after step (b), bringing the porous alumina layer into contact with a first etching solution, thereby enlarging the plurality of minute recessed portions of the porous alumina layer. Step (a) of providing the mold base includes (a1) providing a metal base, (a2) forming an aluminum alloy layer on the metal base, and (a3) forming a surface protection layer on the aluminum alloy layer. Step (a2) and step (a3) are performed in a same chamber.
