By entering a low acceleration Si ion beam of 500 V or lower or a low
acceleration Si ion beam of 500 V-2000 V having been slanted such that an
injection depth becomes shallow, which has been mass-separated from a
liquid alloy ion source containing Si by a mass separator and converged
by an ion optical system, the amplitude defect near a surface of the
Mo/Si multilayer film or the Mo.sub.2C/Si multilayer film is removed by a
physical sputter or a gas assist etching such that an interlayer of the
Mo/Si multilayer film or the Mo.sub.2C/Si multilayer film in a lower
layer is not destroyed.
