Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an erasing rate at the time of overwriting and to suppress the increase in the reproduced signal jitters generated at the time of overwriting to a lower level. CONSTITUTION:The constitution to provide an absorption layer 5 to absorb light to some extent in therein and the constitution to substantially eliminate a difference in absorbance in a recording layer 3 even in spite of a difference in the reflectivity are adopted. Further, a heat radiation layer 6 is provided adjacently to the absorption layer in order to decrease the thermal burden arising from the light absorption in the absorption layer. The difference in the absorbance of the irradiation power occurring in the difference in the phase state does not arise and consequently, the erasing rate of overwriting is improved and further, the generation of the distortion in the bit shape in the edge part of the recording pits is obviated. The jitters of reproduced signals are thereby effectively decreased. Since the heat resistance is improved, the excellent resistance to repetitive overwriting is obtd.

Conventionally, a so-called phase change type optical disk is known, which is rewritable using a recording film which causes a phase change between a crystal and an amorphous state by irradiation with a laser beam. In a phase change type optical disk, a high power laser beam spot corresponding to the information to be recorded is irradiated on the recording film to locally raise the temperature of the recording film to cause a phase change between crystalline and amorphous. Reproduction is performed by recording and reading the change in the optical constants accompanying this as a reflected light intensity difference with a low power laser beam. For example, in a phase change optical disc using a recording film with a relatively slow crystallization time, the disc is rotated,
The recording film formed on this disc is irradiated with laser light,
The temperature of this recording film is raised above the melting point, and after the laser beam has passed, it is rapidly cooled to make that portion amorphous and then recorded. At the time of erasing, the recording film is crystallized by holding the temperature of the recording film within a temperature range which is equal to or higher than the crystallization temperature and is equal to or lower than the melting point, which is sufficient for crystallization. As a method for this purpose, there is known a method of irradiating a long elliptical laser beam in the laser beam traveling direction. When performing pseudo overwrite by two beams for recording new information while erasing already recorded data, it is arranged so that the elliptic laser light for erasing is irradiated prior to the circular laser light for recording. ..

On the other hand, a disk using an information recording film capable of high-speed crystallization uses a single laser beam focused in a circular shape. The conventionally known method is to increase the power of laser light to 2
Crystallization or amorphization is performed by changing between two levels. That is, by irradiating the recording film with a laser beam of a power capable of raising the temperature of the recording film to the melting point or more, most of the part becomes an amorphous state during cooling, while the recording film temperature is crystallized. A portion of the power irradiated with the laser light that reaches a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point and equal to or lower than the melting point becomes a crystalline state.

Conventionally, the structure of a phase-change type optical disk has a structure in which a first protective film 2, a recording film 3, a second protective film 4, and a reflective film 7 are sequentially formed on a substrate 1 as shown in FIG. It was a so-called four-layer reflective film structure in which the layers were laminated. In this configuration,
The advantage of being able to efficiently convert the change of the optical constant due to the phase change of the recording film into the change of the reflectance and ensuring a good reproduction signal, on the other hand, most of the light is reflected by the reflecting film 7, so that the recording film If a large difference in reflectance due to the change in the optical constant is to be secured, there is a drawback that a large difference occurs in the absorptance of the recording film. If there is a difference in the absorptance of the recording film, there will be a difference in the recording film temperature rise state depending on whether the recording film is crystalline or amorphous at the time of overwriting, and the overwrite signal is modulated by the signal component before overwriting. This has been one of the causes of limiting the overwrite erase rate.

The feature of the present invention resides in the structure of this disc, and particularly, the absorption layer 5 and the heat dissipation layer 6 formed on the second protective film 4.
It is characterized by In the above-described conventional four-layer reflective film structure, most of the light is reflected by the reflective film 7, so that the difference in reflectance of the disk becomes the difference in absorptance of the recording film as it is, so that a sufficient reproduced signal can be secured. Then, there is a drawback that the difference in absorption rate becomes large and the overwrite erasure rate becomes insufficient. However, in the disc according to the present invention, the light transmitted through the recording film 3 is considerably absorbed in the absorption layer 5,
Even if the disc has a certain difference in reflectance, the difference in absorptance in the recording film 3 can be suppressed to a small value. In this case, there is a temperature rise due to light absorption in the absorption layer 5,
There is a risk that the heat load on the heat dissipation layer 6 will increase, but the heat dissipation layer 6 formed adjacent to the absorption layer 5 effectively acts on this. That is, since the heat dissipation layer 6 plays a role of efficiently releasing the heat generated in the absorption layer 5, the thermal load on the absorption layer 5 is significantly reduced.

Next, the disk was overwritten and the characteristics were evaluated. 830n wavelength for recording / erasing
An optical head equipped with a m semiconductor laser was used. The disk after the initialization processing is rotated at a rotation speed of 3600 rpm, and a track with a radius of 30 mm is 8.4 MHz (Duty).
The 50%) signal and the 2.2 MHz (Duty 50%) signal were alternately overwritten. The recording power and the erasing power are 13 m each to minimize the second harmonic distortion of the reproduced signal.
W was set to 7 mW. At this time, the erasing rates for both frequencies were 30 dB and 29 dB, respectively. Next, the two frequencies were alternately overwritten on a track having a radius of 60 mm at the same number of revolutions, and the characteristics were measured. Recording power is 18mW,
The erasing power was set to 10 mW. The overwrite erase rate at this time is 32 dB against 2.2 MHz at 8.4 MHz.
Was 30 dB. With the conventional four-layer reflective film structure, a sufficient erasing rate could not be secured in the overwrite of the recording frequency shown here, but by adopting the disk structure according to the present invention, the erasing rate is significantly improved. did it. Further, the repeated overwrite characteristics measured at radii of 30 mm and 60 mm were good, and the effectiveness of the heat dissipation layer 6 formed adjacent to the absorption layer 5 was confirmed.
