Abstract

PURPOSE:To assure a region where recording of information stable up to the part near the outer peripheral end is possible by forming a hollow groove on the surface in the outer peripheral part of a substrate on the side where a recording layer is formed to make the height of the substrate on the side of the groove opposite to the recording region lower than the height of the substrate on the recording region side. CONSTITUTION:The hollow groove 5 is formed in the outer peripheral part of the surface of the substrate 1 to be formed with the recording layer to make the height (c) of the part on the outer side of the groove 5 lower than the height (a) of the part on the inner side of the groove 5. The shape of the groove 5 is preferably a rectangular or wedge shape or a shape provided with roundness by removing the corners of the rectangular shape. A mask 4 is so set that its front end rests on the inner side of the groove 5. The recording layer 2 is then formed by a sputtering method. A protective coating layer is thereafter formed by a spin coating method on the layer 2. As a result, the film thickness distribution of the recording layer and the reflection layer is made uniform up to the outer peripheral end of the substrate. The information recording and reproducing region stable up to the outermost periphery of recording tracks is thus assured.

2. Description of the Related Art Optical discs for recording or reproducing information by using an optical head are widely applied as music or storage elements for computers because of their high recording density. Normal,
The recording layer of the optical disk is formed by a vacuum film forming method such as sputtering or vacuum evaporation. A protective coating layer made of UV-curable acrylic resin is formed on top of this to protect the recording layer, but the thickness of the protective coating layer becomes thin at both the outer peripheral edge (corner) and the inner peripheral edge of the substrate. Therefore, the protective effect is weak, and the recording layer may be damaged by oxidation or corrosion.
Therefore, when forming the recording layer, a mask is attached to the inner and outer peripheral portions of the disc so that the recording layer is not formed up to the end portion (see FIG. 4). However, when the mask is mounted on a substrate whose entire surface is flat, a step is generated between the mask surface and the substrate surface, which causes 1.5 mm from the edge of the mask on the substrate side.
The thickness of about mm tends to reduce the thickness of the recording layer. Due to this decrease in film thickness, there have been problems that the reflectance of light changes and information cannot be recorded or reproduced up to the innermost peripheral portion and the outermost peripheral portion of the disc.

As a method of making the thickness of the recording film constant in the entire recording area from the inner circumference to the outer circumference, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 282942/1990 discloses forming a step on the outer circumference of a disk substrate and using the step as a mask. It is disclosed that the height difference of the substrate surface is reduced, and according to this method, the phenomenon that the thickness of the recording layer is thinned by the mask can be reduced. Further, forming a step, a groove, or a chamfered portion on the outer peripheral portion of the disk substrate prevents the adhesive from squeezing out in the bonded substrate, the protective coating layer can sufficiently protect the recording layer, and the head crash can be prevented. For this reason, many have been disclosed (JP-A-2-282941 and JP-A-3-1768).

However, the inventors of the present invention considered forming the recording layer with a high-power sputtering apparatus. As a result, especially for high output, for example, a target of 150 mmφ, 4
The distance between the edge of the mask (the apex) and the edge of the film formed on the substrate when sputter deposition is performed with an output of 25 w / cm 2 or more per unit area of the substrate when applying kw or more. It has been found that when the temperature is below a certain level (about 0.1 mm), an abnormal discharge occurs near the mask, the thickness of the recording layer at the outer periphery becomes thin, and the surface of the plastic substrate melts due to temperature rise. . In order to prevent such abnormal discharge, it is effective to separate the mask from the surface of the substrate as disclosed in, for example, JP-A-3-168948. However, as described above, if the mask is too far from the substrate, there is a disadvantage that the film thickness of the recording layer becomes thin in the outer peripheral portion. For example, in the case of a magneto-optical disk with a nominal diameter of 90 mmφ, the current standard (Japanese Standards Association: JIS X 6272-'92) requires that the outermost circumference be used up to a radius of 41 mm (82 mmφ). Is 86 mmφ, the recording layer needs to be masked within 2 mm from the outermost periphery of the substrate. If the width of 1 mm is masked, the distance to the outermost circumference for recording information remains 1 mm, and it is difficult to make the thickness of the recording layer uniform during this interval. In addition, in order to increase the recording capacity, if the recording area is further formed up to the outer circumference,
Since the distance between the mask and the recording area is further reduced, there is a disadvantage that the recording layer cannot be formed with a constant film thickness up to the outermost circumference.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the optical disc substrate 1 and the optical disc of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C, a concave groove 5 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the surface on which the recording layer is formed, and the outside of the groove 5 is formed. It is realized by making the height c of the portion lower than the height a of the portion inside the groove (the original thickness of the substrate). The shape of the groove 5 is either a rectangle [Fig. 1 (a)], a wedge [Fig. 1 (b)], or a rectangle with a rounded corner [Fig. 1 (c)] in vertical section. Is. When the height of the substrate is a, the height of the substrate on the side opposite to the recording area of the groove 5 is c, and the difference d = a−c, the formula a> c or 0.1 ≦ d ≦ 1.0 (mm) is satisfied. Optical disc substrate. As an example, in the case of an optical disc having a diameter of 86 mmφ, by setting the depth b of the groove 5 (based on the height a of the substrate) to be 0.1 mm or more, abnormal discharge during high-power sputtering can be effectively prevented. It is practically preferable to have a depth of 0.2 mm or more in order to make the outer portion of the layer lower than the surface on which the recording layer is formed. Further, the width e of the groove 5 is preferably 0.1 mm or more in order to prevent abnormal discharge, but if it is too large, the portion usable as a recording area becomes small, so it is preferable to be 1 mm or less at the maximum.

The height c outside the groove 5 is set to be 0.1 mm or more lower than the surface (original substrate surface) on which the recording layer is formed,
It is possible to effectively prevent a decrease in the film thickness of the recording layer in the outer peripheral portion. In order to completely eliminate the effect that the film thickness of the recording layer is reduced near the mask due to the effect of setting the mask 4 that covers the portion that does not need to be formed, as shown in FIG. It is desirable that the position is the same as that of the recording layer 2 of No. 1 or lower. The groove 5 is shown in FIG.
Using the substrate processed into the shape shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the recording layer 2 is formed by the sputtering method so that the front end of the mask 4 hangs inside the groove 5.
Next, a protective coating layer 3 for protecting the recording layer 2 is applied by a spin coating method using an ultraviolet curable acrylic resin. As shown in FIG. 3, since the protective coat layer 3 completely covers the recording layer 2, the protective performance is extremely good, and its durability is far superior to that of a disc manufactured using a normal substrate.

= 0.2 unit mm], and the height c of the outer portion of the groove 5 was made lower than the height a of the inner portion of the groove. Next, the mask 4 was set so that the outer surface of the groove 5 was at the same height as the surface (original substrate surface) on which the recording layer 2 was formed, and a single-layer protective film of Si 3 N 4 was formed. For the Si N film, a DC magnetron sputtering device was used, and the Si target was Ar.
It was produced by sputtering in an atmosphere of a mixture of 1: 1 and N 2 under a pressure of 6 mTorr and an output of 6 kW. The film formation time was set so that the film thickness was 1000Å in the center of the recording area. The film thickness distribution of the obtained Si N single layer film was plotted, paying particular attention to the outer peripheral edge (see FIG. 6). As is clear from the figure,
In the SiN film produced by the grooved substrate of the present invention, no reduction in film thickness was observed up to very close to the mask edge (the mask edge is up to the center (0.1 mm) of the groove width e (0.2 mm)). Hanging). Then, a Si N protective layer (previously formed) on the substrate surface,
A magneto-optical recording layer composed of a Tb-Fe-Co layer, a Si protective layer, and a reflective layer composed of an Al alloy were sequentially laminated to manufacture a magneto-optical disk. At this time, the Si N layer was deposited at 6 kW and the other layers were deposited at 2 kW, but no abnormal discharge occurred at the end of the mask 4 in any of the layers. The magneto-optical disk manufactured by the grooved substrate of the present invention has a radius of 41 mm as shown in FIG.
Almost no increase in reflectance was observed even at the position.

, C = 1.0, d = 0.2, e = 0.2 unit mm],
The height c of the outer portion of the groove 5 was formed to be lower than the height a of the inner portion of the groove. Next, the mask 4 was set so that the outer surface of the groove 5 was at the same height as the surface (original substrate surface) on which the recording layer 2 was formed, and a single-layer protective film of Si 3 N 4 was formed. The film forming conditions were the same as in Example 1, and the obtained Si
The film thickness distribution of the N single layer film was plotted, paying particular attention to the outer peripheral edge (see FIG. 6). As is clear from the figure, the SiN film produced from the substrate with wedge-shaped grooves of the present invention did not show a decrease in film thickness to the very end of the mask. Next, under the same sputtering conditions as in Example 1, a Si 3 N protective layer (the above-mentioned film was formed), a magneto-optical recording layer composed of a Tb-Fe-Co layer, a Si 3 N protective layer, and an Al alloy were formed on the substrate surface. A reflective layer was sequentially laminated to produce a magneto-optical disk. At this time as well, no abnormal discharge occurred at the end of the mask 4 in any of the layers. As shown in FIG. 7, the magneto-optical disk manufactured using the substrate with the wedge-shaped groove of the present invention showed almost no increase in reflectance even in the outer peripheral portion with a radius of 41 mm.

The plot was focused on the area (see FIG. 6). As is clear from the figure, the film thickness gradually decreases from the position about 1.5 mm from the mask edge,
It can be seen that it is about 20% thinner at the 1 mm position. Next, under the same sputtering conditions as in Example 1, Si
A protective layer (previously formed), a magneto-optical recording layer composed of a Tb-Fe-Co layer, a Si protective layer, and a reflective layer composed of an Al alloy were sequentially laminated to form a magneto-optical disk. Three
In some cases, abnormal discharge occurred at the edge of the mask at a rate of about one sheet, and the outer peripheral portion of the substrate was discolored blackish. As a result of measuring the reflectivity at various radii by selecting the one that did not cause abnormal discharge (see Fig. 7), the reflectivity at the outer circumference is 40
It was abnormally large above mm.

When an optical disk is manufactured using the grooved substrate of the present invention, the film thickness distribution of the recording layer and the reflective layer becomes uniform near the outer peripheral edge of the substrate, and stable information recording / reproduction up to the outermost periphery of the recording track. The area can be secured. Further, even if the recording layer is formed at a high output, abnormal discharge does not occur at the end portion of the mask, so that the film forming speed can be improved and the productivity of the optical disk is improved. Further, the recording track can be expanded from the current standard to the outer peripheral portion, and the recording capacity is increased, and its utility value is extremely high in industry.
