An equivalent diameter of the boundary is from 50 μm to 2 mm and a depth from a bottom of the bottom portion to the end of each of the recesses is from 0.6 or more times to 3 or less times the equivalent diameter, and the wall defining the opening portion forms a surface continuous to the bottom portion.
