Abstract

A method for manufacturing a multilayer film-deposited substrate includes stacking a plurality of lamination units on the substrate while rotating the substrate around a rotational axis perpendicular to a substrate surface. Each of the lamination units has a plurality of layers formed by a dry deposition process. When a plurality of the multilayer film-deposited substrates are manufactured by the dry deposition process, a deposition is performed in a condition satisfying at least one of the following requirements (1) and (2), with estimating a change with time in a deposition rate: [T depo-unit /T r <(m−0.02) or (m+0.02)<T depo-unit /T r ] (1), and [(n−0.02)≤T i /T r ≤(n+0.02)] (2). m and n are independently any integer. T i is a time interval between the depositions among each layer of the plurality of layers. T depo-unit is a deposition unit time required for depositing the one lamination unit. T r is a rotation period of the substrate.
