A method of manufacturing an element having a microstructure of an excellent grating groove pattern or the like is obtained. This method of manufacturing an element having a microstructure comprises steps of forming a metal layer on a substrate, forming a dot column of concave portions on the surface of the metal layer and anodically oxidizing the surface of the metal layer formed with the dot column of concave portions while opposing this surface to a cathode surface thereby forming a metal oxide film having a grating groove pattern. When the interval between the concave portions of the dot column is reduced, therefore, a linear grating groove pattern having a large depth with a uniform groove width along the depth direction is easily formed in a self-organized manner.
