Definitions
- the present invention relates to a recordable optical medium with double recording level.
- the term “dual recording level support” is understood to mean a support having, on at least one face, two levels, or two superimposed recording areas. To distinguish them, the superimposed levels are said to be “shallow” and "buried".
- a dual-level optical disc can be of the single-sided or double-sided type. In the latter case, each side of the disc can be double-level, with a total number of recording levels equal to four.
- the invention finds applications in the recording of audio, video or computer data.
- phase change material has on one or two of their faces a single recording level provided with a layer of phase change material.
- a layer of phase change material is, for example, a layer of crystalline material capable of being locally amorphous under the action of a writing beam.
- the modulation of the writing beam according to a digital signal makes it possible to form in the phase change layer a succession of zones of amorphous material and zones of crystalline material.
- the succession of zones corresponds to the coding of the signal which is thus written into the material.
- the transitions between the phases of the material are caused by a local heating of the layer under the effect of the writing beam. Heating to a temperature allowing recrystallization of the phase change layer can be implemented for possible erasure of the recorded data.
- Subsequent playback of the recorded signal takes place by scanning a succession of areas on the recording level.
- the reading uses different reflectivity properties of the material in its amorphous phase and its crystalline phase.
- the scanning is carried out by a reading beam focused on the level, and is combined with a measurement of the intensity of the reflected light.
- the reading and writing equipment for recording the discs is provided with a laser diode providing the writing beam. It is a diode emitting a beam of red light whose wavelength is close to 650 nm.
- Two-level discs present difficulties in recording and, to a lesser extent, playback. These difficulties arise from the fact that the limited transparency of the surface level constitutes an obstacle for access to the buried level.
- Another difficulty is that too slow cooling of the phase change layer can cause uncontrolled crystallization of an area to be amorphous.
- the object of the invention is to provide a recording medium, and in particular a disc, of the double-level type, which does not have the limitations indicated above.
- One goal is in particular to provide a support compatible with the write and read wavelength of existing equipment.
- Another goal is to offer a support allowing a fast and reliable recording, enjoying a good durability.
- the invention more specifically proposes an optical medium having, on at least one face, a surface recording level and a buried recording level, capable of being read and recorded by means of a beam.
- optical having a wavelength between 620 and 670 nanometers, and in which each of the levels has a reflectivity between 6% and 12%.
- the inventors have in fact discovered that it is possible to write and read data on a double-level support, with existing equipment, the wavelength of which is around 650 nm.
- the reflectivity ranges indicated above allow recording and reading of media with a power of less than 22 mW.
- Each recording level has one or more layers of phase change material. It can be a material such as chalcogenides, of the GeSbTe, AglnSbTe or InSbTe type, as well as selenides or tellurium oxides. These materials exhibit phase change properties between an amorphous state and a crystalline state, with different reflectivities.
- the phase change material can also be a magneto-optical type material.
- the phase change then results in a modification of a property of rotation of the polarization of a light beam by Kerr or Faraday effect.
- the material is preferably chosen with reversible phase change properties to allow re-recording.
- the layers of phase change material are preferably interposed in layers of dielectric materials such as ZnS-Si0 2 or AIN or again If 3 N 4 . These help to adjust the reflectivity values.
- the dielectric material is ZnS-Si0 2 (80% -20%) and the phase change material is Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 .
- An optical simulation carried out using Abeles' formalism allows the thickness parameters of the different layers of material used to be established.
- the calculation of these parameters takes into account the optical indices n and k of the dielectric materials and of phase change materials, as well as those of possible optical reflectors and of mechanical or thermal supports associated with these layers.
- the phase change layers can, in fact, be associated with heat sinks.
- the heat sinks guarantee faster cooling of the phase change layers and avoid parasitic crystallization.
- the single appended figure is a schematic section of part of an optical disc according to the invention, usable as a recording medium. It should be noted that, for reasons of clarity, the different parts of the figure are not represented on a uniform scale.
- the disc of the figure comprises, in order from a reading face 10, a first support substrate 12, a first recording level 20, a transparent intermediate layer of glue 14, a second recording level 30 and a second support substrate 16.
- the support substrates are conventional polycarbonate substrates used for the manufacture of optical discs. They can be replaced by any other material, provided that the first substrate remains transparent to a writing and reading beam.
- the optical disc may have two other recording levels, not shown in the figure, which would then be accessible by another face, opposite to the first face 10.
- the disc in the figure is a double-level disc, but with a single face .
- the first recording level 20, also called “surface level” comprises, in order from the first substrate 12, a first dielectric layer 22 of ZnS-Si0 2 , a phase change layer 24 in Ge 2 Sb 2 Tes , a thermal resistance layer 25 made of ZnS-Si0 2 , a heat sink layer 26, for example made of ITO (indium tin oxide), and a second dielectric layer 28 made of ZnS-Si0 2 .
- Heat resistance and heat sink layers are not essential. However, they allow rapid cooling of the layer to phase change when it has been heated by a writing beam. In the case of an amorphous transition layer, that is to say a crystalline layer which is made locally amorphous for writing data, rapid cooling makes it possible to avoid any uncontrolled parasitic recrystallization.
- the materials of the phase change layers and the dielectric layers can be replaced by other materials having phase change or dielectric properties.
- the materials of the first level are however chosen in their composition or their thickness so as to let pass a part of the light which is applied to them.
- the surface recording level is considered semi-transparent.
- the buried recording level includes substantially the same layers. In the example illustrated, it comprises a first dielectric layer 32 of ZnS-Si0 2 , a phase change layer 34 in Ge 2 Sb 2 Tes, a second dielectric layer 38 in ZnS-Si0 2 and a reflector layer 39.
- the reflector layer increases the reflectivity of the buried recording level. It is, for example, a layer of aluminum which can also serve as a heat sink. As this is the buried level, the reflector layer 39 can be opaque.
- the recording levels 20 and 30 each have a reflectivity of between 8% and 12%. Reflectivity can be adjusted by adapting the optical indices of the layers and / or their thickness.
- the thicknesses of the layers are calculated.
- the dielectric layers and the layers of phase change material have respectively the following thicknesses for the surface level and the buried level, in order from the surface:
- CPs (24) 7 nm +/- 0.5 nm
- D2s (28) 100 nm +/- 10 nm
- Die (32) 120 nm +/- 10 nm
- CPe (34) 17.5nm +/- 3nm
- D2e (38) 120 nm +/- 10 nm.
- the aluminum layer 39 has in this example a thickness of 120 nm and that the adhesive layer has a thickness of 50 ⁇ m to +/- 5 ⁇ m.
- a signal-to-noise ratio in reading of the order of 48 and 50 dB is obtained for the surface and buried levels.
- the reflection layer 39 is an aluminum layer with a thickness of 100 nm and the adhesive layer always has a thickness of the order of 50 ⁇ m +/- 5 ⁇ m.
- the disc of the figure can be obtained by successively depositing the layers of the first and second recording levels 20, 30 respectively on the substrates 12 and 16.
- the substrates, provided with the layers of the recording levels 20, 30 are then assembled by through the adhesive layer 14.
- the reference 40 designates a focusing lens of a reading and writing device. It is therefore not part of the recording medium.
- the lens makes it possible to selectively focus a writing (or erasing) beam or a reading beam on one of the phase change layers of one of the recording levels.
