Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the maximum reproducing beam intensity which does not cause deterioration on reproduction, by providing a recording film comprising a gas component which contains O capable of being liberated by heating and a metallic component on a transparent base, and setting the O/metal content ratio in the vicinity of the interface between the recording film and the base to be higher than the average O/metal content ratio of the film. CONSTITUTION:A recording film is provided by sputtering an In or other metallic target by using a CH4-O2, CH4-O2-N2 or CH4-O2-N2-Ar plasma to build up a sputtered film 11 having a high O/metal content ratio on a base 12, and then building up thereon a sputtered film 13 having a low O/metal content ratio. The sputtered film 11 has a hydrocarbon group formed through dissociation of CH4, and is formed as an amorphous substance comprising other organic substance and a metallic component. The base 12 is a transparent synthetic resin plate such as a polycarbonate plate and an acrylic resin plate or a glass plate having a thickness of about 1.5mm. The recording film has the property of liberating the gas component of the hydroxyl group or the like by heating by the irradiation with a laser beam, whereby well-shaped small bubbles can be formed.

(Function) When the recording film in the optical information recording medium of the present invention is irradiated with an energy beam such as a laser beam, gas components such as hydrocarbon groups are liberated at the substrate interface, pushing up the recording film and forming a deformed portion, i.e. form a bubble.

If a low-intensity beam that is absorbed only near the recording film's substrate interface is irradiated, this area
Since the metal content ratio is low, the heat absorption rate is low, and therefore, it is very difficult to liberate hydrocarbons or cause lattice distortion due to oxidation of the contained metals, and no bubbles are formed.

On the other hand, when a strong beam is irradiated,
The heat generated by irradiation is absorbed not only at the substrate interface of the film but also deep in the film thickness direction. Since the O/metal content ratio is low in this deep portion in the film thickness direction, the absorption rate is high, and gas is generated from inside due to the absorbed heat, and bubbles are formed due to the pressure.

Therefore, in the optical information recording medium of the present invention, the write threshold value is slightly larger than that of a conventional recording film with a uniform film composition in the thickness direction and the film composition with the highest sensitivity. The strength can be increased to a level that does not cause deterioration due to regeneration. Note that data writing during actual use is normally performed using an energy beam with an intensity several times the writing threshold, so a slight increase in the writing threshold will result in S
