To provide a metallic mold for a waveguide by which manufacturing cost is reduced, and also to provide a method of manufacturing the waveguide.
A photosensitive resin layer 11 is formed on a substrate, the photosensitive resin layer 11 is exposed to a synchrotron radiation SR using a mask M having a prescribed pattern and then developed. Metal is made to be deposited on a part where the photosensitive resin layer 11 is removed and a part where the photosensitive resin layer 11 is not exposed is removed to form the metal mold for the waveguide. The step for exposing the photosensitive resin layer 11 comprises a step wherein the synchrotron radiation SR is made incident at about 45° angle to the surface of the photosensitive resin layer 11 to expose the photosensitive resin layer 11 using the mask M. A mother stamper is formed by transferring the projecting and recessed shape of the the metal mold for the waveguide as a master stamper to the mother stamper and the projecting and recessed shape of the mother stamper is transferred to form the waveguide.
