We fabricate and measure a multilayer-coated ion-beam-etched laminar grating for the extreme ultraviolet wavelength region. The fabrication process is carefully controlled so that the grating groove and multilayer-coating parameters well meet the design targets. At an incident angle of 10\degree, the peak diffraction efficiency of the +1st order is 20.6% at 14.56 nm and that of the -1st order is 22.1% at 14.65 nm, both close to the theoretical limits.
