- the third specifying step S203 may be a step of specifying the defect positions of the absorption layer 34 and the low reflection layer 35, for example, as shown in FIG. In this case, the position of the temporary reference mark 45 transferred to the low reflective layer 35 is used as the position of the temporary reference mark 40.
