[0006]
In the master recording apparatus, the groove and the identification information shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 are cut. The operation of this apparatus will be described below.

[0007]

In this method, the relative positions of the two beams are adjusted in advance so that the identification information beam is shifted in the radial direction by a half of the groove width. In addition, there is a device in which two beams pass through the same radial position but are adjusted so that the spot diameters are different. In this case, the produced disc has no identification information wobbling, but the identification information width and groove The width is different.
[0008]

Reference numeral 10 denotes a beam expander, which is set in advance so as to have an optimum pit diameter for forming a pit in the groove portion of the R / W region or the identification information portion.
[0015]

The lens control unit 17 controls the position of the recording lens 12 in the focal direction according to the focal direction deviation value of the lens from the light detector 16.
[0016]
Next, a master disc for recording (cutting) using the above-described apparatus will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a track structure of an optical disc cut by the optical disc master recording apparatus according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a track structure at a location near the boundary between the R / W area and the ROM area of the disk that is not the groove-to-groove boundary, which is cut by the optical disk master recording apparatus according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a track structure at the boundary between the groove and the groove near the boundary between the R / W area and the ROM area of the disk cut by the optical disk master recording apparatus according to the first embodiment. 2, 3 and 4, the R / W area is sandwiched between the ROM areas. The rewritable area (R / W area) on this disk corresponds to one round of the disk, with both the groove formed circumferentially on the disk and the inter-groove portion between the grooves as the information recording section. The recording track is composed of an integer number of recording sectors, and identification information indicating address information and the like is preformatted for each recording sector, and the recording track in the groove and the recording track in the groove are alternately connected to each other. A recording spiral of books is formed. The boundary portion in the radial direction connecting the groove portion and the inter-groove portion is the groove inter-groove boundary in FIGS. 2 and 4.
[0017]
Since the ROM area and the R / W area are set for each zone, the boundary between the ROM area and the R / W area is a zone boundary. The number of sectors per track circumference increases by 1 as the zone progresses from the inner circumference to the outer circumference. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the identification information portions other than those on the groove-to-groove boundary line do not always coincide with each other in the radial direction. Each identification information part is composed of four PID (Physical ID) parts. Each PID includes a VFO (Variable Frequency Oscillator), a physical sector address, and the like for generating a reference signal for a read clock.
[0018]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the groove width and the inter-groove width of the R / W region are equal. When the groove width is Dw, the top two of the four PIDs in the identification information section are shifted from the groove center to the outer peripheral side with respect to the groove position of the subsequent information recording section, and to the inner peripheral side by Dw / 2. . The rear two PIDs are shifted from the groove center to the inner circumference side by Dw / 2 toward the outer circumference side with respect to the groove position of the subsequent information recording section. The data prepits in the ROM portion are provided at an interval between the center of the R / W groove and the center of the groove. The identification pre-pit is also composed of four PIDs like the R / W part PID. The first two are shifted from the center of the data prepit to the outer peripheral side by Pw / 2 where the prepit width is Pw. The rear two PIDs are displaced from the center of the data pre-pit by Pw / 2 toward the inner periphery.
[0019]
The width of the groove portion and the groove portion in the R / W region is the same. The width of the identification information part wobbled to the left and right is also the same. The data prepits in the ROM area and the identification information prepits have the same width. When the R / W area and the ROM area are compared, the pit diameter of the ROM area is smaller. This is to reduce crosstalk with adjacent tracks in the ROM area. On the other hand, the R / W region has less crosstalk because there is an appropriate step between the groove and the groove. Therefore, when the R / W area and the ROM area are compared, the pit diameter may be larger in the R / W area even at the same recording track interval.
[0020]
Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the R / W region does not have a groove at the region boundary. That is, the number of recording tracks in the R / W area is compared between the groove part and the groove part.
Number of grooves tracks + 1 = Number of tracks between grooves
The relationship holds. By doing so, crosstalk between the pits in the ROM area and the grooves in the R / W area can be reduced.
[0021]
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the address value of the identification information part other than the groove-to-groove boundary line of the R / W area of the optical disk, which is cut by the optical disk master recording apparatus of the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, the address of the subsequent groove portion is recorded in the address portions of the first two PIDs that are shifted by Dw / 2 from the groove center on the outer peripheral portion of the disk. The address of the sector in the inter-groove part adjacent to the inner periphery of the sector of the groove is recorded in the address part of the rear two PIDs shifted by Dw / 2 from the groove center on the inner peripheral part of the disk.
[0022]
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the address value of the identification information portion of the groove-to-groove boundary line of the R / W area of the optical disk, which is cut by the optical disk master recording apparatus of the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, the first two PIDs shifted to the inner circumference side by Dw / 2 from the groove part before the boundary are the groove parts adjacent to the disk inner circumference side of the sector in the groove part following the sector of the groove part. Represents the address of a sector. The last two PIDs shifted to the outer peripheral side by Dw / 2 from the groove part before the boundary represent the address of the sector in the groove part following the sector in the groove part.
[0023]
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the address value of the identification information portion in the ROM area of the optical disc, which is cut by the optical disc master recording apparatus of the first embodiment. In the ROM area, the method of arranging the identification information of the groove-to-groove boundary line and the other identification information are the same. However, as shown in the figure, the address portion of the first two PIDs shifted by Pw / 2 from the center of the data prepit to the outer peripheral side of the disc, and the rear two PIDs shifted by Pw / 2 to the inner peripheral side. The address part represents the sector address of the next data prepit.
In this way, in addition to wobbling the identification information from the center of the data prepit to the inner periphery, the address portion of the identification information is matched with the center of the data pit and only the sector identification header portion is wobbled.
[0024]
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing another form of the identification information portion of the ROM area of the optical disc cut by the optical disc master recording apparatus of the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, the address information in the identification signal is not wobbled, but the sector identification header is wobbled by ½ of the pit width from the center of the data pit to the inner and outer circumferences. The sector identification header is not necessarily placed at this position. Further, the pit pattern is not limited to one, and various patterns necessary for identification can be given.
[0025]
The reason why the identification information section is wobbled in both the R / W area and the ROM area is that the wobble performs positioning of the light spot in the track direction (such as offset compensation of the tracking servo system). In the case of the R / W region, it is also used for identifying the groove-to-groove boundary. This is because, as described above, wobbling is performed in the opposite direction to the other identification information at the groove-groove boundary. In other words, when the groove follows the groove, the wobble is in the order of the inner periphery of the outer periphery, whereas when the gap continues after the groove, the wobble is in the order of the inner periphery of the outer periphery.
[0026]
When the disk described above is formed, the operation of the master recording apparatus of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 9 is a signal output timing chart of the optical disk master recording apparatus according to the first embodiment. When the ROM area is formed, “R / W and ROM switching signal” indicates the ROM. As a result, the optical modulator 3 that modulates the identification information of the ROM area and the beam that forms the data pit is turned on, and the optical modulator 4 that modulates the identification information of the R / W area and the beam that forms the groove is turned off. Become.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 9, the “identification information / data timing signal” outputs the timing at which the identification information and data are recorded. This signal is input to the identification information / data switching control unit 19 and “ROM area data "And the identification information part data from the identification information part data generation part 18 are switched. The output from the identification information / data switching control unit 19 modulates the beam from the polarization beam splitter 2 by the optical modulator 3 and outputs it to the optical deflector 5. The deflection amount control unit 7 wobbles the beam only at the location of the identification information by the “identification information / data timing signal”. As shown in FIG. 9, the wobble amount is the same amount on the outer circumference side by the half of the data pit width on the outer circumference side in the first half of the identification information region and on the inner circumference side in the second half. The output from the optical deflector 5 is adjusted in advance so as to have a pit diameter recorded in the ROM area by the beam expander 9. The output from the beam expander 9 is condensed on the resist board 13 through the polarizing prism 11 and the recording lens 12.
[0028]
When the R / W area is formed, the “R / W and ROM switching signal” indicates R / W. As a result, the optical modulator 3 for modulating the beam forming the identification information and the data pits in the ROM area is turned off, and the optical modulator 4 for modulating the identification information in the R / W area and the beam forming the groove is turned on. Become. As shown in FIG. 9, the “identification information / data timing signal” outputs the timing for recording the identification information and data. This signal is input to the identification information / groove formation switching control unit 20, and the identification information is recorded. / The groove formation data held by the groove formation switching control unit 20 and the identification information portion data from the identification information portion data generation unit 18 are switched. The output from the identification information / groove formation switching control unit 20 modulates the beam from the polarization beam splitter 2 by the optical modulator 4 and outputs it to the optical deflector 6.
[0029]
The deflection amount control unit 8 wobbles the beam only at a predetermined portion of the identification information based on the “identification information / data timing signal”. As shown in FIG. 8, the wobble amount is the same amount on the outer peripheral side in the first half of the identification information region by ½ of the groove width and on the inner peripheral side in the second half. However, the light beam is turned on and off every round, with the groove-to-groove boundary line as a break. It is turned on when the track of the groove is formed, and turned off at the portion corresponding to the track of the groove. As a result, one recording spiral is formed in which the recording tracks in the grooves and the recording tracks in the grooves are alternately connected. The recognition of the groove-to-groove boundary line is obtained from the identification information part data generation part 18 that performs address management. The output from the optical deflector 6 is adjusted in advance so as to have a groove width (= identification information width) recorded in the R / W area by the beam expander 10. The output from the beam expander 10 is condensed on the resist board 13 through the polarizing prism 11 and the recording lens 12.
[0030]
As described above, in this embodiment, the respective beams forming the ROM region and the R / W region are allowed to pass through different optical deflectors, and the amount of light deflection is determined between the ROM region and the R region. Since the wobble amount of each identification information portion of the / W area is configured, a disk having a mixture of ROM area and R / W area and different wobble amounts of identification information of each area can be accurately obtained. It becomes possible to create.
[0031]
The deflection amount of the optical deflector for the beam that records the ROM area is, for example, ± Pw / 2 (Pw is the prepit width), and the deflection amount of the optical deflector for the beam that records the R / W area is, for example, ± Dw / 2 (Dw is the groove width) and a constant amount, so adjustment is easy.
It should be noted that the wobble amount exemplified here is merely an example, and it is needless to say that an actual device can set the optimum wobble amount for signal reproduction by the device configuration shown here.
[0032]
Embodiment 2. FIG.
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the optical system of the optical disk master recording apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The same reference numerals as those in FIG. Then, it demonstrates centering on difference with Embodiment 1. FIG. In FIG. 10, reference numeral 21 denotes a deflection amount control unit, which changes the beam from the polarizing prism 11 only when recording identification information according to the “identification information / data timing signal”. Further, the identification information / data generating unit 19 obtains data as to whether the recorded area is a ROM area, an R / W area, or a groove-to-groove boundary line. An optical deflector 22 deflects both the ROM recording beam and the R / W recording beam.
[0033]
FIG. 11 is a signal timing chart of the optical disk master recording apparatus according to the second embodiment. In this figure, recording in the order of the ROM area, R / W area, and ROM area will be described. The beam power shown in the figure indicates the power of the beam incident on the recording lens 12 in FIG. The beam deflection amount indicates the direction and magnitude of the beam deflection amount from the deflection amount control unit 21 of FIG. When the ROM area is recorded, a beam modulated with data (including identification information portion data) is output. Further, the deflection amount is controlled to wobble in the order of the outer circumference and inner circumference when the identification information portion is recorded. Thereafter, after recording the last track in the ROM area, when entering the R / W area, first, the beam power becomes zero for one turn of the L track in order to form a track between grooves. Since the G track is formed after the L track is formed, the beam power is incident in a state suitable for forming the groove. When forming the identification information portion, a beam modulated with the information is incident, and when forming a groove, a beam with a constant power is incident. When the formation of the G track is completed, the formation of the L track starts and no beam is incident. Here, the incidence can be stopped by the optical modulators 3 and 4, or by switching the argon laser 1, shielding the optical path, or the like. Further, since the beam is not incident when the L track is formed, it is not necessary to set the beam deflection amount. However, here, for ease of control, the deflection amount is set for both the L track and the G track. Subsequently, L and G are switched every round to form R / W. The last track is recorded to be an L track. This is performed to reduce crosstalk at the boundary between the ROM area and the R / W area. When the R / W area ends, the ROM area is recorded in the same manner as the first ROM area.
[0034]
In this way, the output of the optical modulator is stopped for one track immediately after switching from the ROM area to the R / W area. Further, the output of the optical modulator is stopped during the time corresponding to one track immediately before switching from the R / W area to the ROM area.
[0035]
As a result, a sufficient distance can be secured between the pits formed in the ROM area on the optical disk master and the pits and grooves formed in the R / W area. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects such as connection between the pits and grooves in the W region and the fact that the inter-groove portions are not formed sufficiently flat.
[0036]
In addition, when an optical disk medium is manufactured using an optical disk master recorded using this method, the space between the pit row in the ROM area and the groove in the R / W area is sufficiently large, so that tracking is easy.
[0037]
In the master disk recording apparatus, the difference from the first embodiment is that the ROM optical deflector 5 and the deflection amount control unit 7 and the R / W optical deflector 6 and the deflection amount control unit 8 in FIG. Are provided with an optical deflector 22 and a deflection amount control unit 21 having both functions.
[0038]
Thus, by sharing the optical deflector for the ROM area and the R / W area and the deflection amount control unit, two types of wobble amounts can be controlled by one deflector and the deflection amount control unit. As a result, the apparatus can be simplified.
[0039]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
[0040]
Optical disc master according to the present invention Production method The pits formed in the ROM area on the optical disk master and the pits and grooves formed in the R / W area can be sufficiently spaced from each other. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects such as connection between pits and grooves in the W region and the fact that the inter-groove portions are not formed sufficiently flat.
[0041]
In addition, when an optical disc medium is manufactured using an optical disc master recorded using this method, the space between the pit row in the ROM area and the groove in the R / W area is sufficiently large, so that easy tracking is possible. Become.
