Abstract

PURPOSE:To correct and control the film thickness of a protective layer in the production process of an optical recording medium by quantitatively controlling changes in the hue based on the optical film thickness of the protective layer of the optical recording medium. CONSTITUTION:The optical recording medium is obtd. by successively laminating a protective layer 2, recording layer 3, protective layer 4, and reflecting layer 5 on a substrate 1. The medium is irradiated with several light beams of different wavelengths, and the reflected light from the substrate 1 is measured to inspect the optical film thickness of the protective layer 2. In this case, the correlation between the reflectance and the film thickness of the protective layer 2 depends on the measuring wavelength. The optical film thickness can be accurately controlled based on small changes of the reflectance with using a color and color-difference meter.

2. Description of the Related Art An optical recording medium is one in which layers such as a protective layer and a recording layer are sequentially formed on a substrate. Since the thickness of the protective layer is the largest among the layers, controlling the thickness of the protective layer is very important for controlling the performance of the optical recording medium.
Conventionally, in the process of forming each layer such as a protective layer and a recording layer on a substrate, one piece of an optical recording medium is taken out, and a spectrophotometer measures the reflected light from the substrate at an arbitrary wavelength to detect the reflectance. Thus, the optical film thickness of the protective layer was obtained, and it was confirmed whether the value of the optical film thickness was correct with respect to the set value. In addition, by utilizing the fact that the hue changes when the optical recording medium is viewed from the substrate side when the thickness of the protective layer is different, the hue is visually inspected to confirm whether the optical thickness is correct with respect to the set value. Was there.

However, when the film thickness of the protective layer is controlled by the prior art, it is very troublesome to measure the reflectance of the optical recording medium on the production line. . In addition, the reflectance change corresponding to the film thickness is small, for example, even if the film thickness of the first protective layer changes by about 200 nm, the reflectivity hardly changes. There was also the drawback that precise management was difficult. Further, when the film thickness is controlled from the hue of the optical recording medium, the color judgment is performed visually, so individual differences are likely to occur, and perceptual differences cannot be quantitatively expressed. It was difficult to manage.

As shown in FIG. 1, since the reflected light from the substrate is reflected before the recording layer ahead of the protective layer, the reflected light detected by measuring the reflected light from the substrate. The rate is correlated with the film thickness of the protective layer. As described above, the reflectance does not change substantially even if the film thickness changes by about 20 nm, but since the correlation between the reflectance and the film thickness of the protective layer depends on the measurement wavelength, a plurality of different wavelengths as in the present invention are used. If the reflectance is detected by irradiating the above light, it becomes possible to accurately control the optical film thickness from a minute change in the reflectance. Here, the optical film thickness refers to the film thickness of the protective layer obtained from the above-described reflectance measurement, and has a one-to-one correspondence with the actual film thickness of the protective layer. .

An example of the measurement principle will be briefly described. That is, the spectral sensitivity of the human eye (International Commission on Illumination (CI
E) 1931) The reflected light from the measurement sample is measured by a sensor having sensitivity of color matching function x 2 λ (peak on the long wavelength side of X), y λ, z λ corresponding to the visible region which is a color matching function, and x The illumination light source is directly measured by a sensor having a sensitivity of 2 λ, y λ, z λ, and tristimulus values X, Y and Z of the sample are calculated to calculate various chromaticities. The tristimulus values X, Y, and Z are based on three independent variables of hue, saturation, and lightness,
Various chromaticities (colorimetric chromaticities) are calculated from these. The chromaticity of the color system is based on CIE and is based on the XYZ color system (JIS Z8
71), L * a * b * color system (JIS Z8729) and UCS (JIS Z8729). By thus controlling the reflected light from the substrate with a numerical value called chromaticity, the optical film thickness of the protective layer can be indirectly controlled and inspected with a numerical value.

In that case, the condition) is corrected. That is, the best inspection result of the optical recording medium or the inspection result of the first manufactured optical recording medium is set in advance as a set value, and the film thickness forming condition is corrected when deviating from the set value. The condition is corrected so that the thickness shifts in the thicker direction and the thickness shifts in the thinner direction.
