Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、光記録媒体の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
光記録媒体として、CD、DVD等の光ディスクがある。大記録容量の光記録媒体であるDVDは、情報記録面が形成された厚さ0.6mm程度の2枚の基板を各々の情報記録面を内側にして対向配置し接合したものである。情報記録面は、トラッキング情報、アドレス情報、データ情報等が記録された凹凸情報面である。より大記憶容量化が図られた光記録媒体では、情報記録面に光学ピックアップの対物レンズが接近できるように、厚さ0.1mm程度の肉薄の光透過性層と厚さ1.1mm程度の肉厚の光記録媒体基板とが接合されている。
【0003】
後者の大記憶容量の光記録媒体の製造に際しては、目的とする第1の微細凹凸情報面に対応する反転微細凹凸形状を表面に形成した円盤状の樹脂材製転写用基板上に光透過性の紫外線硬化樹脂を塗布し、その上に光透過性シートを配置し、紫外線照射する硬化処理を行なうことで、前記第1の微細凹凸情報面を有する樹脂層が光透過性シート上に被着転写された光透過性層を形成し、形成された光透過性層を転写用基板から剥離している。またこのようにして形成された光透過性層を、第2の微細凹凸情報面が形成された光記録媒体基板に対して光透過性接着剤を介して接合している。
【0004】
これらの光記録媒体では、基板上に他の基板あるいは光透過性層を貼り合わせるための樹脂層を形成する際に、また光透過性層となす樹脂層を転写用基板上に形成する際に、周知のスピンコート法を使用することが多い。
【0005】
スピンコート法では、まず図2(a)に示すように、基板1を軸心廻りに低速回転させながら、紫外光反応硬化型樹脂2をノズル3から滴下することにより、基板1上の内周部に樹脂2を環状に塗布し、続いて基板1を高速回転させることにより、樹脂2を外周方向に広げて、図2(b)に示すように基板1上の外周縁部まで覆う樹脂層2Aを形成する。その後に、図2(c)に示すように、樹脂層2Aに基板1の一方から(または両方から)紫外光照射装置4にて紫外光5を照射することにより、樹脂層2Aを硬化させる(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0006】
【特許文献1】
特開2002−288895号公報
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
スピンコート法では、上記したようにして樹脂2を基板1上の内周部から外周縁部まで広げ、余分な樹脂2は外周縁部から外方へ飛散させるのであるが、その際に、図3に示すように樹脂2が基板外周面に回り込む液垂れ現象が発生してしまう。このような液垂れ部分2Bが存在すると、良好な光透過性層を形成できず、また樹脂2を介して基板1を貼り合わせて形成する光記録媒体の商品価値の低下を来たし、再生もしくは記録を行なう装置の誤動作や事故の発生原因ともなる恐れがある。
【0008】
本発明は上記問題を解決するためになされたもので、基板外周面への液垂れを防止して樹脂層をスピンコートできる光記録媒体の製造方法を提供するものである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明は、被塗布面に対して外周面が鋭角をなす形状の基板を用いることで、外周面に対して濡れ角に達する前に樹脂を飛散させ、液垂れを防止可能としたものである。
【0010】
すなわち本発明は、円盤状の基板の表面に樹脂材料をスピンコートし、樹脂層を形成する光記録媒体の製造方法において、前記基板として、前記樹脂材料でコートする表面に対して外周面が鋭角をなす形状の基板を使用することを特徴とする。
【0011】
好ましくは、樹脂材料でコートする表面に対して外周面が10〜80゜をなす形状の樹脂基板を使用する。角度が小さいと成形が難しく、角度が大きいと効果が小さく、10〜80゜が適切である。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照しながら説明する。
図1は本発明の一実施形態における光記録媒体の製造方法を説明する工程断面図である。
【0013】
図1(a)に示すように、光記録媒体用の基板1として、所定の一表面1a(以下、被塗布面1aという)に対して外周面1bが鋭角α、ここでは約60゜をなすよう成形された円盤状の樹脂基板を用意する。
【0014】
そして、図1(b)に示すように、基板1を約100rpmの低速で回転させつつ、その被塗布面1aの内周縁部付近に粘度100mPa・s程度の紫外光反応硬化型樹脂2を約5g、ノズル3から吐出することにより、塗布面1a上に樹脂2を環状に塗布する。
【0015】
次に、図1(c)に示すように、基板1を5000rpm程度の高速で回転させることにより、被塗布面1a上の樹脂2を遠心力によって濡れ角βを保ちながら外周方向へ流動拡散させ、膜厚が100μm以下になるまで引き延ばす。
【0016】
その際には、図1(d)に示すように、外周縁部まで行き渡った樹脂2が遠心力によって基板1外に飛散することになるが、上記したように被塗布面1aと外周面1bとが約60゜という鋭角をなしているため、図1(e)に示すように、樹脂2は外周面1bに対して濡れ角αに達する前に飛散していき、外周面1bへの液垂れは発生しない。ここで、濡れ角αは樹脂材料と基板の塗布面の濡れ性が高いほど小さくなるもので、樹脂材料および基板の材質に依存する。
【0017】
その後に、図1(f)に示すように、形成された樹脂層2Aの上に貼り合わせるべき基板6を配置し、紫外光5を照射して樹脂層2Aを硬化させることで、この光透過性の樹脂層2Aを介して基板1と基板4とを貼り合わせる。
【0018】
このようにして樹脂2の液垂れを防止して基板1,6を貼り合わせできる結果、高品質の光記録媒体を実現することができ、この光記録媒体の再生もしくは記録を行なう装置の誤動作や事故の発生を防止できるのである。
【0019】
なお、この実施形態の光記録媒体は、情報記録面が形成された2枚の基板を各々の情報記録面を内側にして対向配置し接合するタイプの光記録媒体であるが、前述したような、転写用基板に樹脂層を形成するタイプの光記録媒体にこの方法を実施してもよい。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、被塗布面に対して外周面が鋭角をなす形状の基板を用いるようにしたことで、樹脂をスピンコートする際の基板外周面への液垂れを防止することができ、高品質の光記録媒体を実現できる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an optical recording medium.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Optical recording media include optical disks such as CDs and DVDs. A DVD, which is an optical recording medium having a large recording capacity, has two substrates each having an information recording surface formed thereon and having a thickness of about 0.6 mm, which are opposed to each other with their information recording surfaces facing inward and joined. The information recording surface is an uneven information surface on which tracking information, address information, data information, and the like are recorded. In an optical recording medium with a larger storage capacity, a thin light-transmitting layer having a thickness of about 0.1 mm and a light-transmitting layer having a thickness of about 1.1 mm are provided so that the objective lens of the optical pickup can approach the information recording surface. The thick optical recording medium substrate is joined.
[0003]
In the latter case of manufacturing an optical recording medium having a large storage capacity, a light-transmissive substrate is formed on a disk-shaped resin-made transfer substrate having an inverted fine concave-convex shape corresponding to the target first fine concave-convex information surface formed on the surface. The resin layer having the first fine unevenness information surface is adhered on the light-transmitting sheet by applying a UV-curable resin, placing a light-transmitting sheet thereon, and performing a curing process of irradiating ultraviolet light. The transferred light transmitting layer is formed, and the formed light transmitting layer is peeled off from the transfer substrate. The light transmitting layer thus formed is bonded to the optical recording medium substrate on which the second fine unevenness information surface is formed via a light transmitting adhesive.
[0004]
In these optical recording media, when forming a resin layer for bonding another substrate or a light transmitting layer on a substrate, or when forming a resin layer to be a light transmitting layer on a transfer substrate. The well-known spin coating method is often used.
[0005]
In the spin coating method, first, as shown in FIG. 2A, while the substrate 1 is being rotated at a low speed around the axis, an ultraviolet light reaction-curable resin 2 is dropped from a nozzle 3 so that the inner periphery of the substrate 1 The resin 2 is applied to the portion in a ring shape, and then the substrate 1 is rotated at a high speed to spread the resin 2 in the outer peripheral direction and cover the outer peripheral edge on the substrate 1 as shown in FIG. Form 2A. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2C, the resin layer 2A is cured by irradiating the resin layer 2A with ultraviolet light 5 from one (or both) of the substrates 1 using an ultraviolet light irradiation device 4. For example, see Patent Document 1).
[0006]
[Patent Document 1]
JP 2002-288895 A
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the spin coating method, the resin 2 is spread from the inner peripheral portion to the outer peripheral portion on the substrate 1 as described above, and excess resin 2 is scattered outward from the outer peripheral portion. As shown in FIG. 3, a liquid dripping phenomenon in which the resin 2 goes around the outer peripheral surface of the substrate occurs. If such a dripping portion 2B exists, a good light-transmitting layer cannot be formed, and the commercial value of an optical recording medium formed by bonding the substrate 1 via the resin 2 is reduced, and the reproduction or recording is performed. May cause a malfunction or an accident of the device for performing the operation.
[0008]
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an optical recording medium capable of preventing a liquid from dripping onto an outer peripheral surface of a substrate and spin-coating a resin layer.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses a substrate whose outer peripheral surface forms an acute angle with the surface to be coated, so that the resin is scattered before reaching the wetting angle with respect to the outer peripheral surface, and liquid dripping occurs. It can be prevented.
[0010]
That is, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing an optical recording medium in which a resin material is spin-coated on the surface of a disk-shaped substrate to form a resin layer, wherein the substrate has an acute outer peripheral surface with respect to the surface coated with the resin material. Characterized in that a substrate having the following shape is used.
[0011]
Preferably, a resin substrate having a shape in which the outer peripheral surface makes an angle of 10 to 80 ° with respect to the surface coated with the resin material is used. If the angle is small, molding is difficult, and if the angle is large, the effect is small.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a process sectional view illustrating a method for manufacturing an optical recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 1A, as an optical recording medium substrate 1, an outer peripheral surface 1b forms an acute angle α with a predetermined one surface 1a (hereinafter, referred to as an application surface 1a), here about 60 °. A disk-shaped resin substrate formed as described above is prepared.
[0014]
Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), while rotating the substrate 1 at a low speed of about 100 rpm, an ultraviolet light reaction-curable resin 2 having a viscosity of about 100 mPa · s is applied around the inner peripheral edge of the coating surface 1a. By discharging 5 g of the resin 2 from the nozzle 3, the resin 2 is annularly applied on the application surface 1a.
[0015]
Next, as shown in FIG. 1C, by rotating the substrate 1 at a high speed of about 5000 rpm, the resin 2 on the coating surface 1a is caused to flow and diffuse in the outer peripheral direction while maintaining the wetting angle β by centrifugal force. , Until the film thickness becomes 100 μm or less.
[0016]
At this time, as shown in FIG. 1D, the resin 2 that has spread to the outer peripheral edge is scattered outside the substrate 1 by centrifugal force, but as described above, the coating surface 1a and the outer peripheral surface 1b Forms an acute angle of about 60 °, the resin 2 scatters before reaching the wetting angle α with respect to the outer peripheral surface 1b as shown in FIG. No sagging occurs. Here, the wetting angle α decreases as the wettability between the resin material and the application surface of the substrate increases, and depends on the resin material and the material of the substrate.
[0017]
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1 (f), a substrate 6 to be bonded is arranged on the formed resin layer 2A, and the resin layer 2A is cured by irradiating the substrate with the ultraviolet light 5, thereby obtaining the light transmission. The substrate 1 and the substrate 4 are bonded together via the resin layer 2A having a property.
[0018]
As a result, the substrates 1 and 6 can be bonded to each other while preventing the resin 2 from dripping. As a result, a high-quality optical recording medium can be realized. An accident can be prevented.
[0019]
The optical recording medium of this embodiment is a type of optical recording medium in which two substrates on which information recording surfaces are formed are opposed to each other with their respective information recording surfaces facing inward and are bonded. Alternatively, the method may be applied to an optical recording medium of a type in which a resin layer is formed on a transfer substrate.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, by using a substrate whose outer peripheral surface forms an acute angle with the surface to be coated, it is possible to prevent liquid dripping onto the outer peripheral surface of the substrate when spin coating a resin. And a high-quality optical recording medium can be realized.
