Abstract

A liquid application material that is capable of forming an oxidized insulator as a result of baking is applied onto a support substrate to produce an object of processing. Then, a mold having projection structures with intervals of nanometers is pressed against the applied liquid material to produce corresponding recess structures. Thereafter, the applied liquid material is baked in oxygen-containing gas or oxidized in ozone or oxygen plasma to make it electrically highly resistive. Subsequently, a layer to be anodized is formed on said oxidized insulator. Then, the layer to be anodized is actually anodized in an acidic solution to form fine holes that are aligned with the respective recess structures in the anodized layer. Accordingly, fine recess structures can be manufactured with ease.
