Abstract

According to the present invention, etching is used to form a concave and convex pattern corresponding to information on an embossing metal mold comprising a conductive layer and a layer which includes an Ni electric-plating layer, or an Ni electric-plating layer, so that the surface of the embossing metal mold will not be contaminated even if processing conditions are somewhat changed, and that the mold will have less defects. Thus, optical disk substrates of high quality can be produced. Besides, time required for manufacturing a stamper can be shortened.
