This was subjected to batch etching using a mixed solution containing phosphoric acid and acetic acid (SEA-5 manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Inc.) as an etchant. The etching was performed without heating and with an appropriate etching time (20 seconds to 240 seconds). Further, the phosphoric acid content in the mixed solution was 55% by volume or less, and the acetic acid content was 30% by volume or less.

It was confirmed that a laminated film having excellent reflectance and sufficiently low resistance was obtained.
- the Ag film thickness is as thin as 50 nm, so the sheet resistance is 0.8 ⁇ / sq.
- the reflectivity was slightly reduced.
- the transparent conductive oxide film on the Ag film was thick as 100 nm and the absorption increased, so the reflectance was slightly smaller than that of the 10 nm sample.
