Abstract

Provided is a method for manufacturing a multilayer structure. The method for manufacturing the multilayer structure includes providing a substrate in a chamber, providing a target in the chamber, and allowing a target material to be incident into the substrate so as to form a material layer. The target includes magnesium oxide or beryllium oxide. An incident angle of the target material to the substrate is about 9.14° or less.
