A method for manufacturing a duplicating stamper is provided. The method includes the steps of forming a metal film on a stamper, the metal film having an apertural area in a central area of the stamper, lifting up an innermost circular edge of the metal film in order to detach the metal film from the innermost circular edge to the outermost circular edge, and detaching the metal film to provide another stamper. Alternatively, for detaching the metal film, a gas is blown into the apertural area with lifting up the innermost circular edge of the metal film.
