Description
第2の界面層4と第1の界面層6とは、記録層5の結晶化を促進して消去特性を向上させ、さらに記録層5と誘電体層3、7との間の原子相互拡散を防いで繰り返し耐久性を向上させるという役割を果たす。
(1)Alが柱状構造になりやすい材料であるため、表面が凹凸になりやすい。
(2)熱伝導率がAg合金に比べて小さいため、記録時のマーク間干渉が大きい。
上記目的を達成するための光学的情報記録媒体は、レーザ光を用いて情報の再生が可能な光学的情報記録媒体において、基板の上に、少なくとも反射層、記録層をこの順に有し、反射層はAlとNiを含む合金であることを特徴とする。
上記目的を達成するための光学的情報記録媒体の製造法は、基板の上に、少なくとも反射層、記録層をこの順に作製する工程を含む光学的情報記録媒体の製造方法であって、反射層を成膜する工程が、AlとNiを含む合金からなるスパッタリングターゲットを用いることを特徴とする。
光学的情報記録媒体は、カバー層と、反射層と記録層との間に配置された反射層側誘電体層と、記録層とカバー層との間に配置された光入射側誘電体層とをさらに有していることが好ましい。これらの誘電体層は、光の干渉効果によりディスクの反射率、吸収率などを調整する働きと、記録層の蒸発や基板の熱損傷を防ぐ働きとを有する。
反射側誘電体層は反射層に接していることが好ましい。この場合は、反射側誘電体層と反射層との間にバリア層が不要であり、光学的情報記録媒体の層数を減らすことができる。
実施の形態1では、本発明の光学的情報記録媒体の一例を説明する。
図1は本発明の一実施の形態に係る光学的情報記録媒体10(光ディスク)の積層構成の概略を示す半径方向の断面図である。この光学的情報記録媒体10には、複数の情報層が備えられる。図1に示すように、光学的情報記録媒体10において、基板1、反射層2、第2の誘電体層3、第2の界面層4、記録層5、第1の界面層6、第1の誘電体層7、およびカバー層8が順次積層される。反射層2、第2の誘電体層3、第2の界面層4、記録層5、第1の界面層6、第1の誘電体層7などの各層の形成方法としては、通常、電子ビーム蒸着法、スパッタリング法、CVD法、レーザスパッタリング法などが適用される。以上に述べた構造では、第2の誘電体層3は反射層2に接しており、両者の間には他の層(例えばバリア層)は形成されていない。
レーザ光9の波長λは、レーザ光9を集光した際のスポット径が波長λによって決まってしまう(波長λが短いほど、より小さなスポット径に集光可能)ため、高密度記録を行う光学的記録媒体を用いる場合、特に450nm以下であることが好ましく、また、350nm未満では分離層12に用いる樹脂や第1の基板1などによる光吸収が大きくなってしまうため、350nm〜450nmの範囲内であることがより好ましい。
基板1の材料としては、透明な円盤状のポリカーボネイト樹脂、ポリメチルメタクリレート(PMMA)樹脂、ポリオレフィン樹脂、ノルボルネン系樹脂、紫外線硬化性樹脂、ガラス、あるいはこれらを適宜組み合わせたもの等を用いることができる。また、基板1は、必要に応じてレーザ光を導くための案内溝が形成されていてもよい。基板1の表面のうち、反射層2側と反対側の表面は、平滑であることが好ましい。なお、基板1の厚さは、十分な強度があり、且つ光学的情報記録媒体10、14の厚さが1200μm程度となるよう、400μm〜1300μmの範囲内であることが好ましい。カバー層8の厚さが600μm程度(実施の形態3で記録再生の際に用いられる対物レンズ15のNAが0.6の場合に良好な記録再生が可能)の場合、550μm〜650μmの範囲内であることが好ましい。また、カバー層の厚さが100μm程度(NA=0.85で良好な記録再生が可能)の場合、1050μm〜1150μmの範囲内であることが好ましい。
分離層12の厚さは、第1の情報層13及び第2の情報層11のいずれか一方を再生する際に他方からクロストークが小さくなるように、少なくとも対物レンズ15の開口数NAとレーザ光9の波長λにより決定される焦点深度以上の厚さであることが必要であり、また、全ての情報層が集光可能な範囲に収まる厚さであることも必要である。例えば、λ=405nm、NA=0.85の場合は、分離層12の厚さは少なくとも5μm以上50μm以下であることが必要である。
分離層12において、レーザ光9入射側の表面には、必要に応じてレーザ光9を導くための案内溝が形成されていてもよい。
なお、第1の誘電体層7の膜厚は、10nm以上100nm以下であることが好ましい。第1の誘電体層7の膜厚が薄くなると記録層5における光吸収率が低下する。このため、第1の誘電体層7の膜厚が10nmよりも薄いと記録感度の悪化が顕著となる。一方、第1の誘電体層7の膜厚が厚くなると、記録層5が結晶状態である場合の光学的情報記録媒体10の光反射率が低下する。このため、第1の誘電体層7の膜厚が100nmよりも厚くなると反射率不足が顕著となる。
なお、第2の誘電体層3の膜厚は、15nm以上50nm以下であることが好ましい。第2の誘電体層3の膜厚が15nmよりも薄くなると、記録層5と基板1との間隔が狭くなる。このため、基板1が記録層5の温度上昇の影響を受けやすくなる。すなわち、記録層5に情報記録するためにレーザが照射された際に生じる温度変化により、基板1の案内溝の変形を引き起こす。このため、第2の誘電体層3の膜厚が15nm未満になると、記録消去の繰り返し特性の悪化が顕著となる。一方、第2の誘電体層3の膜厚が厚くなると、記録層5が結晶状態である場合の光学的情報記録媒体10の光反射率が低下する。このため、第2の誘電体層3の膜厚が50nmよりも厚くなると反射率不足が顕著となる。
記録層5と第2の誘電体層3との間に第2の界面層4を配置する場合、第2の界面層4には、第1の界面層6について説明した材料を用いることができる。第2の界面層4の膜厚は、高い再生光耐久性及び大きな反射率変化による良好な信号品質を得るために、0.3nm以上5nm未満であることが好ましい。
また、記録層5には、熱伝導率・光学定数等の調整、あるいは耐熱性・環境信頼性の向上等の目的でO、N、F、C、S、Bから選ばれる1つまたは複数の元素を必要に応じて記録層5全体の10原子%以内の組成割合の範囲で適宜添加してもよい。
(1)Alが柱状構造になりやすい材料であるため、表面が凹凸になりやすい。
(2)熱伝導率がAg合金に比べて小さいため、記録時のマーク間干渉が大きい。
実施の形態1の光学的情報記録媒体10は、以下の実施の形態2で説明する方法によって製造できる。
実施の形態2では、本発明の光学的情報記録媒体10の製造方法について説明する。予めレーザ光9を導くための案内溝が形成された基板1(例えば、厚さ1.1mm)を成膜装置に配置する。成膜装置には、本発明の反射層2を成膜する工程(工程1)、第2の誘電体層3を成膜する工程(工程2)、第2の界面層4を成膜する工程(工程3)、記録層5を成膜する工程(工程4)、第1の界面層6を成膜する工程(工程5)、第1の誘電体層7を成膜する工程(工程6)が備えられており、この順に各層を形成する。
以上のようにして、光学的情報記録媒体10を製造することができる。また、同様の製造方法により、光学的情報記録媒体14を製造することができる。
実施の形態3では、実施の形態1で説明した本発明の光学的情報記録媒体19(10または14)の記録再生方法について説明する。本発明の記録再生方法に用いられる記録再生装置について説明する。本発明の記録再生方法に用いられる記録再生装置20の一部の構成を図3に模式的に示す。図3を参照して、記録再生装置20は、光学的情報記録媒体19を回転させるためのスピンドルモータ18と、半導体レーザ16を備える光学ヘッド17と、半導体レーザ16から出射されるレーザ光9を集光する対物レンズ15とを備える。
以下に、実施例を用いて本発明をさらに詳細に説明する。
本実施例は、本発明の光学的情報記録媒体10の記録再生特性、特に9T信号のノイズと振幅の反射層材料に対する依存性を示すものである。具体的には、反射層2の材料が異なる光学的情報記録媒体10を作製し、カバー層8を形成したサンプルを作製し、形成したサンプルについて9T信号のノイズとAmpを測定した。これらの信号測定を行ったのは、反射層2の表面凹凸に起因するノイズが9T信号域に現れるためである。
このようにして得られたサンプルについて、最初に記録層5を結晶化させる初期化工程を行った。次に、9T信号のノイズと振幅を測定した。
実施例2は、光学的情報記録媒体10の反射層膜厚に対する(記録層5の)結晶部の反射率の依存性を示すものである。具体的には、反射層2の材料がAl−Niであり膜厚が異なる光学的情報記録媒体10からなるサンプルを実施例1と同様の方法で作製した。そして、このようにして得られたサンプルについて、記録層5を結晶化させる初期化工程を行い、結晶部と非晶質部の反射率を測定した。反射率の測定には、図3の記録再生装置20を用いた。具体的には、スピンドルモータ18でサンプルを回転させ、波長405nmのレーザ光9をサンプルに集光して照射し、反射率を測定した。
以上の結果から、結晶部と非晶質部の反射率差が16%以上であるためには、反射層の膜厚としては20nm〜300nmを適用することが好ましい。
第2図は、本発明の光学的情報記録媒体の一構成例の断面図である。
第3図は、本発明の光学的情報記録媒体の記録再生に用いられる記録再生装置について構成の一部を模式的に示す図である。
