ABSTRACT:
An absorption type multi-layer film ND filter having a substrate formed of a resin film and on at least one side thereof an absorption type multi-layer film of oxide dielectric film layers and absorption film layers which are alternately wherein the oxide dielectric film layers are each a SiCyOx (0<y≦0.1, 1.5<x<2) film having an extinction coefficient at a wavelength of 550 nm of 0.005 to 0.05, formed by a physical vapor deposition process using a film-forming material composed chiefly of SiC and Si, and the absorption film layers are each a metal film having a refractive index at a wavelength of 550 nm of 1.5 to 3.0 and an extinction coefficient at that wavelength of 1.5 to 4.0, formed by a physical vapor deposition process; an outermost layer of the multi-layer film being one oxide dielectric film layer of SiCyOx.
