9. It is difficult to measure an exact distribution of the cavity sizes in the PMMA film used. However, no cavities (defects) larger than a few hundred nanometers in diameter were confirmed by an optical microscope observation of the film used. At this moment, we can only say that the cavity size is a range from a few nanometers to a few hundred nanometers in diameter.
