Conventionally, as recording materials using a high energy density light beam such as a laser, there are the following thermal recording materials in addition to photosensitive materials such as silver salts. In this thermal recording material, the recording layer has a high optical density, absorbs the irradiated high energy density light beam, causes a local temperature rise, and melts.
The irradiated part is removed due to thermal deformation such as evaporation or agglomeration, or the phase transition from crystal to amorphous causes an optical density difference and light reflection compared to the non-irradiated part pressure. Information is recorded by causing a change in optical properties such as optical characteristics. Such thermal recording materials generally do not require processing such as developing or fixing, do not record in normal room light and therefore do not require darkroom operation, provide high contrast images, and are capable of recording additional information.

(Prior art) In order to incorporate the materials shown in the above-mentioned documents into a practical system, in other words, in order to give them practicality as a sensitive material, it is necessary to prepare a support, a recording layer, a protective layer, etc. Numerous improvements are required regarding the layers, and in fact, numerous patents and patent applications have been filed in the past. It can be said that the most effort has been made to improve recording sensitivity. An overview of past efforts to increase the sensitivity of recording materials using thin metal films can be summarized as follows.

That is, in general, those using metal thin films such as B1X8n, In, Aβ, Cr, etc. have excellent performance in terms of high resolution and high contrast, but on the other hand, many have a light reflectance of 30% or more for laser light. Since the energy of laser light cannot be used effectively, the optical energy required for recording is large, and therefore a high-output laser light source is required to record with high-speed scanning.As a result, the recording device is large and expensive. It has the disadvantage of becoming a thing. Therefore, several recording materials with high recording sensitivity are being explored. For example, Tokko Akira! 4-1101177, Se, Bi,
A recording material of composition consisting of Ge is described. Here, the layer G'e reduces the reflectance of the layer B1 to the irradiated light, and the layer Sjlm is a layer that evaporates easily. Thermal deformation of the Bi layer is promoted. Furthermore, the layer for reducing or preventing reflection is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1996/1999/4Aλt2.
It is also stated in the publication. In addition, a layer provided with a layer for reducing heat conduction between the recording layer and its support was disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 70
-/J4J7 and JP-A-Shoj/-/6026. Also, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Shoj/-712Jt and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5.2-. 2ots1 publication describes a recording layer in which a certain metal sulfide, metal bombide, or metal oxide is layered or mixed with a metal. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 3≠-57≠λ describes a recording layer containing a mixture of an inorganic substance and an organic substance. In addition, Tokukai Sho Zr-
Japanese Patent No. 2 J2 describes an optical recording medium in which a thin oxide layer is provided between a substrate and a recording layer to improve interfacial force and increase recording sensitivity.

As outlined above, many efforts have been made in the past to increase sensitivity, and as mentioned above, the performance has improved to the point where some of them can be put to practical use. However, with advances in systems that use recording materials and their peripheral technologies, there is a strong demand for even higher performance not only for recording materials used in new applications and uses, but also for recording materials used in the conventional applications mentioned above. The current situation is that this has been the case.

Among the above various performances, (1) and (2) are generally in a contradictory relationship with high reflectance and high sensitivity, as described above. Therefore, in order to further increase the recording sensitivity while maintaining a high reflectance, it is effective to change the interfacial force between the substrate and the recording layer, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Shoj'g-132 Octopus. Become. However, when the present inventors conducted a detailed study on the oxide disclosed in the above-mentioned publication, an increase in resolution was observed as will be described later in Examples, but no significant effect was found in terms of recording sensitivity.

Another form of the protective layer is the method of sandwiching the recording layer with a UV curing resin, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1999-11-17/λ7rihiro No. 6, or the method of sandwiching the recording layer with a UV curing resin. λ-/! tAOj
As disclosed in the specification of the above publication, it is also possible to form the protective layer in such a manner that an air gap is provided between the recording layer and the protective layer. In particular, a configuration in which two supports with recording layers formed thereon are fixed together with the recording layers facing each other through a sheath (Air Sun Germany Tizo) is capable of double-sided recording, and has a large capacity similar to optical disk memory. This is one of the most suitable forms especially when information recording is required.

Example: On a PMMA support with a thickness of /, j mm, a vacuum degree of jX10
Under the conditions of 'I'orr, Purity Tata, Tati's Mo
Oa was deposited using a resistance heating method. After cooling, a mixed layer of In and Ge8 was deposited to become a recording layer. The mixing ratio of the recording layer and the thicknesses of the three MoO layers and the recording layer were controlled using a crystal resonator type film thickness monitor. As described above, the MO03 layer thickness was 10-400A, and the recording layer thickness was λ7jA (In volume percent: 4.2.5%).
A recording medium was obtained. For comparison, Mob, which is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2 Or, No. 2/1998, and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 55222, are prepared by the same method as above. A recording medium using SiO as the oxide was obtained.

The samples prepared as described above were irradiated with an Ar laser beam having a beam diameter of 7 to 2 μm at /θOn5ec in a stationary state, and the enrichment thresholds (laser outputs) of the recording media were compared. The writing threshold at this time was determined using an optical microscope. Figure 1 shows the relationship between the MoO3 film thickness and the writing threshold.When the MoO3 film thickness is increased to 3OA, a rapid increase in sensitivity is observed, and the sensitivity continues to increase up to λOOA. However, when the film thickness is increased beyond that, the sensitivity decreases again. In this way, MoO3 is formed between the support and the recording layer.
By providing the layer, an increase in sensitivity of approximately SO% was observed.
