Abstract

An X-ray mirror having its layer structure in the sequence of: a substrate having the surface roughness (R.sub.max) of 1,000 .ANG. or below; an intermediate layer of high molecular weight material formed on this substrate and having a surface roughness (R.sub.max) of 100 .ANG. or below; and a thin film formed on this intermediate layer, the X-ray mirror being produced by the process steps of: providing a substrate having a surface roughness (R.sub.max) of 1,000 .ANG. or below; forming on this substrate an intermediate layer of a high molecular weight material by spin-coating with a surface roughness (R.sub.max) of 100 .ANG. or below; and finally forming a thin film on this intermediate layer.
