Applied, thereby generating a plasma between the target material and the substrate, for example, a polycarbonate substrate opposed to the target material and arranged at a predetermined interval,
It is manufactured by causing Ar ions in the plasma to collide with the surface of the target material to perform sputtering, and depositing sputtered particles as constituent layers on the substrate surface.

On the other hand, there is a strong demand for improvement in productivity of optical recording media such as the above-mentioned optical discs in recent years, and accordingly, the film forming speed of the constituent layers tends to be increased. In order to perform high-speed film formation, it is necessary to increase the power applied to the target material to achieve high-output sputtering conditions. In particular, when forming the protective layer using the above-described conventional target material, the high-speed film formation is performed. If the sputtering conditions are set to the high-power sputtering conditions for the purpose of performing the above, cracks are likely to occur in the target material, and the service life is currently reached in a relatively short time.

Means for Solving the Problems Therefore, the present inventors have proposed:
From the above viewpoint, the present inventors focused on the conventional target material for forming the protective layer of the optical recording medium described above, and conducted research to improve the breakage resistance.
A hot press sintered body of a mixed powder obtained by mixing and mixing a predetermined ratio of titanium oxide (hereinafter, referred to as TiO 2 ) powder in addition to the TiO 2 powder and the ZnS powder as a target material for forming a protective layer of an optical recording medium When used, the TiO 2 powder is located between the SiO 2 powder and the ZnS powder during hot pressing, and firmly adheres to both of these powders.
As a result, the adhesion between the powders is remarkably improved. Therefore, even if the target material is subjected to high-power sputtering conditions for performing high-speed film formation, the effect of improving the splitting resistance between the powders in the target material is improved. This significantly suppresses the cracking, and not only enables practical use for a long period of time, but also makes the TiO 2 powder have a light refractive index and a light transmittance which are used as a criterion for evaluating the characteristics of the optical recording medium protective layer. In other words, even if the TiO 2 powder is blended, the light refractive index and light transmittance are equivalent to the light refractive index and light transmittance of the optical recording medium protective layer formed using the conventional target material. The research results show that it shows transmittance.

The reason why the composition of the hot press sintered body constituting the target material for forming the protective layer of the optical recording medium of the present invention is limited as described above will be described. (A) SiO 2 ZnS is used as a main component of an optical recording medium protective layer because it has a high optical refractive index and light transmittance required for the optical recording medium protective layer and further has heat resistance. On the other hand, Zn
For example, when a protective layer of an optical disk is formed by S alone, it becomes a protective layer having a high internal stress, and when laser irradiation for recording is performed on the optical disk in this state, rapid heating and quenching accompanying the laser irradiation cause Cracking is likely to occur in the protective layer. Therefore, in the optical recording medium protection layer, ZnS is mixed with SiO 2 to reduce the residual internal stress in the protection layer. Therefore, if the content of SiO 2 in the hot-pressed sintered body is less than 3%, the effect of suppressing the generation of internal stress in the protective layer is insufficient. Since the above-mentioned properties to be provided tend to decrease, the mixing ratio is 3 to 25.

(B) TiO 2 As described above, SiO 2 powder and Zn mixed in a predetermined ratio
The hot-pressed sintered body from the mixed powder of S powder
Inadequate adhesion between the iO 2 powder and ZnS powder, and when high-power sputtering is applied to this, cracks are likely to occur. It is. On the other hand, in a hot-press sintered body of a mixed powder obtained by mixing a predetermined ratio of TiO 2 powder in addition to the SiO 2 powder and the ZnS powder, the TiO 2 powder is formed of the SiO 2 powder and the ZnS powder. In between, the powder adheres firmly to both of these powders, resulting in high adhesion between the powders as a whole. As a result, when applied as a target material, the powder is applied to the target material in order to perform high-speed film formation. Even if high-power sputtering is applied, the occurrence of cracks is significantly suppressed. Therefore, in order to sufficiently exhibit the effect of improving the breakage resistance due to the effect of improving the adhesion between the powders, if the compounding ratio is less than 5%, it is insufficient, and the compounding ratio of 5% or more is necessary. If the compounding ratio exceeds 35%, for example, when it is used as a protective layer of an optical disc, deterioration of optical characteristics such as an increase in absorption of laser light is unavoidable. Therefore, the compounding ratio is 5 to 35%, desirably. 20 ~
It was determined to be 30%.

And, in a state where each of the conventional target materials 1 to 5 is soldered to a water-cooled backing plate made of oxygen-free copper,
Attached to the high-frequency magnetron sputtering apparatus having the structure shown in FIG. 1, after a vacuum atmosphere of 1 × 10 -6 Torr by a vacuum exhaust device is first in the apparatus, while introducing Ar gas apparatus Atmosphere The sputtering gas pressure was set to 0.5 × 10 −3 Torr, and subsequently, a sputtering power of 500 W (average power density: 4.1 w / cm 2) was applied to the target material from a high-frequency power supply via a matching box, and the sputtering was performed.
