The photoresist layer may be treated with a secondary exposure process, wherein the photoresist layer is developed in order to obtain a photoresist pattern layer. A metal layer may be coated on the transparent substrate with the photoresist pattern layer. The photoresist pattern layer and the portion of the metal layer on the photoresist pattern layer may then be removed such that the remaining metal layer forms a periodic hole substrate. | 09-19-2013 |
