Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the corrosion of a reflecting film and to improve reliability by forming the reflecting film on a flat transparent substrate, then patterning the reflecting film by etching. CONSTITUTION:An aluminum film is formed on the transparent substrate 1 consisting of tempered glass by using an electron beam vapor deposition method. Photoresist films having the patterns corresponding to digital information are then formed on the aluminum film and the aluminum film is removed by ion etching with the resist films as a mask to form the reflecting films 2. The photoresist films are thereafter removed by an org. solvent or by oxygen ashing, following which a protective film 3 consisting of a silicon oxide film is formed by using a sputtering method on the transparent substrate 1 including the reflecting films 2. The defective adhesion and corrosion of the reflecting films are prevented in this way and the reliability is improved.

This injection molding method is, for example, co-authored by Fujio Mari and Kenji Hayashi.
As disclosed in "Introduction to D Player", page 25 (Corona Publishing, 1983), softened polycarbonate resin is injected onto a mother stamper formed through a mastering process, and after the polycarbonate resin has hardened, the mother stamper is injected. This is a method of peeling off the stamper and transferring the uneven pattern of the mother stamper onto the injected polycarbonate resin to form a substrate having an uneven pattern.

Furthermore, as already mentioned, in conventional optical discs, the reflective film 4
is formed on the surface of the transparent substrate 1 having an uneven pattern. By the way, according to studies by the present inventors, most of the poor adhesion between the reflective film 4 formed on the uneven pattern and the transparent substrate 1 (lifting of the reflective film 4 from the transparent substrate 1) is caused by the uneven pattern. It has become clear that this phenomenon occurs at the boundary between concavities and convexities. Furthermore, as a result of evaluating the locations where corrosion occurred on the reflective film 4 when a CD-ROM with a conventional structure was left for a long period of time, it was found that corrosion of the reflective film 4 often occurred mainly at the boundaries between the concave and convex portions of the concavo-convex pattern. It became clear that Such poor adhesion or corrosion of the reflective film 4 naturally significantly impairs the reliability of the optical disc, and is a major problem similar to the aforementioned problems such as protrusions and cracks during injection molding. . Improving the problem of poor adhesion and corrosion of the reflective film is also an extremely important problem for CD-ROMs, which require higher reliability.

The causes of poor adhesion and corrosion of the reflective film are still largely unknown, but one reason for the poor adhesion is thought to be that the reflective film is subjected to large forces due to stress concentration at the boundaries between concave and convex parts. It will be done. Corrosion of the reflective film is also caused by deterioration of the quality of the reflective film at the boundary between concave and convex parts, and stress concentration, similar to the case of poor adhesion, which causes so-called stress corrosion and accelerates corrosion.
