The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a die for molding an
optical element. The manufacturing method comprising: forming the first
film layer of an amorphous alloy having a super-cooling liquid phase onto
a master transfer surface of a master die for molding a molding transfer
surface of the die; heating the first film layer more than a glass
transition point of the amorphous alloy having the super-cooling liquid
phase while a surface of the first film layer and a transferred surface
of a base material of the die being faced and pressed; and peeling the
first film layer from the master die and transferring the first film
layer onto the base material of the die to form the molding transfer
surface of the die.
