Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the optical information recording medium which allows recording and reproducing of information stably over a long period of time by depositing inorg. protective AlN films as protective films to both sides of a thin recording film of a Ge-Te system. CONSTITUTION:The AlN films is formed as the protective film 21 on a polycarbonate substrate 1 and further, the recording film 3 of the Ge-TE system, the protective AlN film 22, and a UV curing resin (UV resin) film 4 are laminated in this order thereon. Since the AlN films are used as the protective films in such a manner, the deformation in the pit parts of the recording film is absorbed by the thin AlN film having an excellent adhesive property and the generation of cracks is substantially obviated. The high effect of preventing the oxidation and corrosion of the Ge-Te material is obtd.
