Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the cracking of a protective layer and to provide high reliability to a memory element by treating a plastic substrate with microwaves. CONSTITUTION:Water is adsorbed on the surface of disk forming polycarbonate requiring reduction of double refraction and microwaves are projected on the polycarbonate under atmospheric pressure to treat the polycarbonate with the heat of vaporization of the water. The treated polycarbonate is used as a substrate. When a recording layer and a protective layer are formed on the substrate to produce an optical memory element, the protective layer cracks hardly.

Conventional optical memory elements use glass, acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, or the like as a substrate. For glass, tracking grooves and bits are formed using a photopolymer method or photoetching method, and for acrylic resin or polycarbonate resin, tracking grooves and pits are formed using injection molding, injection compression molding, or a photopolymer method. Furthermore, in order to reduce birefringence of polycarbonate resin, attempts have been made to use an annealing method in which the substrate is heated.

Glass has a high specific gravity, and a disk-shaped element has a high rotational resistance and is easily broken, making it difficult to handle. Furthermore, it is difficult to process, resulting in high costs. Acrylic resin has a large amount of deformation due to moisture absorption and thermal deformation, so when a ceramic protective film is used, the ceramic layer tends to crack, resulting in low reliability. Polycarbonate resin has a small amount of deformation due to moisture absorption and thermal deformation, but is photoelastic. Since the constant is large, birefringence increases and the signal decreases. Attempts have been made to reduce birefringence by changing molding conditions or by annealing, but it is extremely difficult to reduce birefringence by simply changing molding conditions. If the substrate is heated to the extent that it can be lowered, the substrate will be deformed by the heat.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve these problems, and its purpose is to use a plastic substrate without any problems with moisture absorption deformation or thermal deformation, and without the problem of signal deterioration due to birefringence. The object of the present invention is to provide a reliable optical memory element that does not easily cause cranking in the protective layer.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for manufacturing an optical memory element of the present invention. The microwave treatment in the process shown in FIG. 1 will be explained using polycarbonate as an example. The polycarbonate that can be made into disk shapes by injection molding is currently a carbonate type of bisphenol A, and its glass transition temperature is usually between 130''C and 150°C. If water is adsorbed on the surface where you want to reduce refraction and treated at atmospheric pressure, the processing heat can be kept at around 100°C due to the heat from the microwave and the heat of vaporization of the water.If you increase the pressure, it will be possible to keep the processing heat at around 100°C from 110°C to 120°C. °
It is also possible to place the processing heat near C. Alternatively, if a polar molecule with a boiling point of 120°C is adsorbed instead of water, 1
Processing heat can be kept at around 20°C. An example of this is an azeotropic mixture of higher alcohol and water, but care must be taken when using a multi-component system as the degree of adsorption to plastics will vary. In this way, the treatment temperature can be freely changed by changing the pressure and the type of substance to be adsorbed. Additionally, this microwave treatment is more effective when the substrate is injection molded and the birefringence is not stable, so in this example, the substrate is injection compression molded and within 5 minutes, the magnetron oscillation This treatment was carried out for a minute.
