Abstract

The optical recording medium of the present invention has a support substrate, a light transmitting layer, and an information layer interposed between the support substrate and the light transmitting layer. A laser beam is projected onto the information layer through the light transmitting layer thereby to record and/or reproduce data. For all the uneven defects at least in the recording area, the following relation is satisfied: abs (T1-T2)/W ≤ 5.5X10<SP>-4</SP> where T1 represents the thickness of the light transmitting layer at the peak or bottom portion of an uneven defect present on the light incident surface on which the laser beam is incident, T2 represents the thickness of the light transmitting layer at the end of the uneven defect, and W represents the distance in the circumferential direction from the peak or bottom portion of the uneven defect to the end. In the linear velocity (10 to 19 m/s) region preferably used for recording and/or reproducing data on and/or from a next-generation optical recording medium, the residual focusing error component attributed to the uneven defects on the light incident surface can be about 10% or less. Therefore the influence of the uneven defects on the jitter can be effectively suppressed.

[Prior art] In recent years, optical recording media represented by compact discs (Compact Disc) and DVD ((Digital Versatile Disc)) are widely used as recording media for recording large-capacity digital data. The structure of CDs is based on their thickness. An information recording layer and a protective layer are stacked on a light-transmissive substrate of about 1.2 mm, and the information recording layer is irradiated with a laser beam having a wavelength of about 7 80 nm from the light-transmissive substrate side, and data recording and / or reproduction can be performed. Laser An objective lens with a numerical aperture (NA) of about 0.45 is used for the beam focusing. With this method, the beam spot diameter of the laser beam on the information recording layer can be converged to about 1.6 // m. Using this method, the CD can be approximately Achieving a 700MB recording capacity and a data transmission rate of about 1Mbps at the same speed (about 1.2m / sec). In contrast, the DVD has a light-transmitting substrate stacked on a thickness of about 0.6mm. A laminated body composed of an information recording layer and a protective layer on the surface, and an adhesive layer and a dummy substrate having a thickness of about 0.6 mm are bonded to each other, and the information recording layer is irradiated with a wavelength of about 6 50 nm from the light-transmitting substrate side. The light beam can perform data recording and / or reproduction. The laser beam is focused using an objective lens with a numerical aperture (NA) of about 0.6. In this way, the beam spot diameter of the laser beam on the information recording layer can be reduced to about -6-(2)

In this way, in addition to using a laser beam having a shorter wavelength than CD for DVD recording and / or reproduction, at the same time, an objective lens with a larger chirp aperture (NA) is used, so that a smaller beam spot diameter than CD can be achieved. Using this method, the DVD can achieve a recording capacity of about 4.7 GB / area and a data transfer rate of about 11 Mbps at the same speed (about 3.5 m / sec). On the other hand, with the high informationization of society in recent years, more data recording capacity than DVD is required, and optical recording media with greater data transfer rate than DVD are required to be put into practical use. . In order to realize the large capacity and high data transfer rate of such next-generation optical recording media, the beam spot diameter of the laser beam used for data recording and / or reproduction must be further converged to a smaller value. The numerical aperture (NA) of the objective lens for bunching should be larger, and the wavelength of the laser beam must be shorter. However, if the objective lens for the purpose of focusing the laser beam is high in NA, the problem that the tolerance of tilting or tilting of the optical recording medium, that is, the tilting tolerance must be extremely small, arises. If the wavelength of the laser beam used for recording and / or reproduction is λ, and the thickness of the light transmitting layer in the optical path of the laser beam is d, the tilt tolerance T can be expressed by the following formula. chNA3 From formula (1), it can be seen that the tilt tolerance becomes smaller as the NA of the objective lens becomes larger. When the refractive index of the light transmitting layer where wavefront aberration (coma aberration) occurs is η and the tilt angle is Θ, the wavefront aberration coefficient W can be expressed by the following formula. -7- (3) (3) 200412593 l i

The thickness of the light-transmitting substrate used for CD (NA = about 0.45) is about i.2mm, and the thickness of the light-transmitting substrate used for DVD (NA = about 0.6) is set to about 0.6mm 'because The above reasons. From the above reasons, in order to ensure sufficient tilt tolerance and suppress the occurrence of coma aberration on the next-generation type optical recording medium, the thickness of the light transmitting layer should be 200 // m or less, and preferably thinner to 100 // m degree. Therefore, it is very difficult to form an information recording layer on a next-generation optical recording medium, such as a CD or DVD, on an optically-transmissive substrate that becomes a laser beam optical path. This method is to form a thin light-transmitting layer on the information recording layer and the like formed on a support substrate by using a spin coating method or attaching a light-transmitting sheet, and then use it as the optical path of a laser beam. usage instructions. Thus, the production of the next-generation optical recording medium is different from the current optical recording medium in which films are sequentially formed from the light incident surface side, and the films are sequentially formed from the opposite side of the light incident surface.

Moreover, because the beam spot of the laser beam formed on the light incident surface of CD or DVD is large (CD: about 7 00 // m, DVD: about 500mm), the unevenness on the light incident surface can be eased, and the recording The effect of the characteristics or reproduction characteristics will be small.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the information layer includes a recording layer made of a phase-change material, and data recording on the recording layer can be performed at a linear speed of 10 m / s or more. This next-generation type optical recording medium can converge the beam spot of the laser beam formed on the light incident surface to a very small size, and can perform data recording at extremely fast line speeds. Therefore, the small unevenness of the light incident surface will This greatly affects recording characteristics or reproduction characteristics. However, with the present invention, at least all the unevenness defects in the recording area satisfy the following relationship: \ T \ -T2 \ IW ^ 5.5X10-4, and good recording characteristics and reproduction characteristics can be obtained. -10- (6) (6) 200412593 \ ^ [Embodiment] The following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the appended drawings. Fig. 1 (a) is a cross-sectional perspective view of the appearance of an optical recording medium according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 1 (b) is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion shown in Fig. 1 (a). The optical recording medium 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a so-called rewrite-type optical recording medium. However, the object of the present invention is not limited to a rewrite-type optical recording medium, and it may be a write-once optical recording medium or read-only. Other types of optical recording media, such as optical recording media, are targeted. The optical recording medium 10 shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and (b) is a disc-shaped optical recording medium having an outer diameter of about 120 mm and a thickness of about 1.2 mm.

Although not particularly limited, the optical recording medium 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a laser beam L with a wavelength λ of 3 80 nm to 450 nm (preferably about 405 nm) irradiated from a surface of the light transmitting layer 16 to a light incident surface 16 a. A rewritable optical recording medium that can perform data recording and reproduction. When recording and reproducing data on the optical recording medium 10, an objective lens with a numerical aperture of 0.7 or more (preferably 0.85 degree) is used. At this time, if the wavelength of the laser beam L is λ and the numerical aperture of the objective lens is ΝΑ In this case, it should be set to λ / NAS 640nm. The "second" dielectric layer 13 and the "first" dielectric layer 15 are the second and first dielectric layers when viewed from the light incident surface 16a, respectively. In order to ensure the required thickness (approximately 1.2 mm) of the optical recording medium 10, the support substrate 11 uses a disc-shaped substrate having a thickness of approximately 1.1 mm. One side is -11-(7) 200412593 &lt; from near the center A spiral groove 11a and a plane lib for guiding the laser beam L are formed toward the outer edge portion. As the material for supporting the substrate 11, various materials such as glass, ceramics, or resin can be used. Among them, polycarbonate resins are generally used from the viewpoint of ease of molding. The reflecting layer 12 has a function of reflecting the laser beam L 'incident from the light transmitting layer 16 side and then emitting the laser beam L' from the light transmitting layer 16. The material of the reflective layer 12 can use various materials that can reflect the laser beam L, for example, magnesium (Mg), aluminum (A1), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), germanium (Ge), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), gold (Au), and the like. The thickness of the reflective layer 12 is set to 5 to 300 nm. The first dielectric layer 15 and the second dielectric layer 13 have a physical and / or chemical protection function for the recording layer 14 provided therebetween, because the recording layer 14 is sandwiched between the first dielectric layer 15 and the second dielectric layer 13, After light recording, it can effectively prevent the deterioration of recorded information for a long time. The material constituting the first dielectric layer 15 and the second dielectric layer 13 is not particularly limited as long as it is a transparent dielectric in the wavelength region of the laser beam L to be used. For example, oxide, sulfide, nitride, Or a combination thereof as a main component, but from the viewpoint of preventing thermal deformation of the support substrate 11 and the like, and protecting the characteristics of the recording layer 14, AH, AIN, ZnO, ZnS, GeN, GeCrN, CeCh, SiO, Si〇2, Si3N4, SiC, La2〇3, Ta〇, Ti〇2, SiAlON (mixture of Si〇2, AI2O3, ShN4, AIN), LaSiON (La2 03, Si (h, and Si3N4) Mixtures), etc., aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), hafnium (Ce), titanium (Ti), zinc (Z η), giant (T a) oxides, nitrides, sulfides, carbides, Or -12- (8) (8) 200412593 li or a mixture thereof.

The phase change material has different reflectance in the crystalline state and the reflectance in the amorphous state. Data recording. The recorded data uses, for example, the length of the recording mark in the amorphous state (the length from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the recording mark), and the length of a blank area such as the crystal state (the trailing edge from the recording mark to the next recording mark). Length to the margin) to indicate that in order to change the recording layer 14 from a crystalline state to an amorphous state, the pulse waveform of the laser beam L irradiated from the light incident surface 16a with a recording power Pw to a basic power Pb is used. The recording layer 14 is heated to a temperature above the melting point, and then the power of the laser beam L is set to the basic power Pb for rapid cooling. In this way, the molten region will change to an amorphous state, which is On the other hand, in order to change the recording layer 14 from an amorphous state to a crystalline state, the power of the laser beam L radiated from the light incident surface 16a is set to the deletion power Pe, and the recording layer 14 is heated to crystallize. The temperature is higher than the temperature. The area heated to the temperature above the crystallization temperature will be slowly cooled by the laser beam L leaving, and the area will become crystalline. , The recording power Pw, remove power P e, and the base power Pb is set to the relation shown by the following formula.

言’使用於適合次世代型光記錄媒體之記錄及/或再生的 線速度區域(10〜19fn/s)時,可將高域面振動量抑制於0.35 // m以下、可將面振動加速度抑制於1〇m/s2以下,結果, (12) (12)200412593 ) 高域面振動或面振動加速度導致之殘留調焦誤差成分大約 爲10%以下。一般而言,殘留調焦誤差成分超過10%,則 對抖動之影響會極爲顯著,故本發明中,不會有因爲存在 於光射入面16a之凸缺陷21或凹缺陷22而使抖動顯著劣 化的情形。 此時,「面振動加速度」係指記錄及/或再生時在物 鏡上產生之加速度,「高域面振動量」係指凸缺陷21或 凹缺陷22當中,物鏡無法追隨之驟變部分的大小。 其次,針對第1圖所示之光記錄媒體10的製造方法 進行説明。重寫型光記錄媒體10之製造步驟,大致含有 成膜步驟、及起始化步驟,依成膜步驟及起始化步驟之順 序執行。 第3圖係第1圖所示光記錄媒體10之製造方法的流 程圖。 首先,以使用壓模之射出成型法,製作形成溝槽11 a 及平面lib之支持基板11(步驟S1)。然而,支持基板11 之製作並未限定爲射出成型法,亦可以2P法等其他方法 來製作。 其次,在支持基板11之表面上,在設有溝槽11a及 平面lib之面上形成反射層12(步驟S2)。反射層12之形 成上,以使用含有反射層1 2構成元素之化學種的汽相育 成法爲佳。汽相育成法如濺鍍法或真空蒸鍍法,其中,又 以濺鍍法爲佳。 其次,在反射層12上形成第2電介質層13(步驟 -17- (13) (13)200412593 Λ 53) 。第2電介質層13之形成上’亦以使用含有第2電介 質層13構成元素之化學種的汽相育成法爲佳,其中,又 以濺鍍法爲佳。 其次,在第2電介質層13上形成記錄層14(步驟 54) 。記錄層14之形成上,以使用含有記錄層14構成元 素之化學種的汽相育成法爲佳,其中,又以濺鍍法爲佳。 濺鍍後之相變化材料會成爲非晶狀態,其後,執行起始化 步驟時,會變成晶體狀態。 其次,在記錄層14上形成第1電介質層15(步驟 55) 。第1電介質層15之形成上,以使用含有第1電介質 層1 5構成元素之化學種的汽相育成法爲佳,其中又以濺 鍍法爲佳。 又,在第1電介質層15上形成光透射層16(步驟 56) 。光透射層16係例如以旋轉塗膜法實施經過粘度調整 之丙烯酸系或環氧系紫外線硬化性樹脂的塗敷,然後照射 紫外線使其硬化,或者,以黏結劑貼附光透射性樹脂所構 成之光透射性板之方式來形成。如上面所述,以旋轉塗膜 法或光透射性板之貼附等形成之光透射層1 6的表面(光射 入面16a),平坦性容易低於CD或DVD之光射入面一光透 射性基板之表面。 如上所示,完成成膜步驟。在本發明中,將完成成膜 步驟之狀態的光記錄媒體稱爲「光記錄媒體前驅物 10’」。然而,無特別區別之必要時,爲了方便,亦會將 光記錄媒體前驅物1〇;簡稱爲「光記錄媒體」。 -18- (14) (14)200412593 其次’將光記錄媒體前驅物1 〇,載置於雷射照射裝置 (圖上未標示)之旋轉台上,在旋轉狀態下,連續照射沿溝 槽11a及平面lib之方向(圓周方向)的長度較短且垂直溝 槽11a及平面lib之方向(直徑方向)的長度較長之矩形起 始化用雷射光束,光記錄媒體前驅物1〇,每旋轉丨次,照 射位置就會朝直徑方向偏移,利用此方式,可對記錄層 1 4之幾乎整面都照射起始化用雷射光束。亦即,執行記 錄層14之起始化(步驟S7)。起始化用雷射光束照射之區 域的相變化材料,會被加熱至高於融點的溫度,其後,將 起始化用雷射光束移至遠處進行緩慢冷卻,記錄層1 4之 整面成爲晶體狀態,亦即未記錄狀態。 利用以上方式,實施起始化步驟,完成光記錄媒體 1 〇。執行起始化步驟,可使晶粒直徑變得相對較大,利用 此方式,記錄層14會有極高之反射率。 又,光記錄媒體10之製造方法上,並未限定爲上述 之製造方法,可以使用公知之光記錄媒體製造上所採用之 製造技術。 其次,針對檢查光記錄媒體之良否的方法進行説明。 執行檢査之時序上,只要在結束成膜步驟後之任何時 序皆可,如以下之説明所示,因爲記錄層14之反射率較 高時不易實施檢査,故在成膜步驟結束後、起始化步驟前 (步驟S6及步驟S7之間)執行檢査最佳。以下,即以上述 光記錄媒體前驅物1 0’爲檢査對象之實例進行説明。 第4圖係以檢查光記錄媒體之良否爲目的之檢査裝置 -19- (15) (15)200412593 1 0 0的槪略構成圖。 如第4圖所示,檢査裝置1 〇〇具有使光記錄媒體前驅 物10’旋轉之轉軸馬達101、對光記錄媒體前驅物10’照射 檢査用雷射光束L1之光學系110、使光學系11〇朝光記 錄媒體前驅物10’之直徑方向移動之轉盤馬達102、對光 學系110提供雷射驅動信號103a之雷射驅動電路103、對 光學系110提供透鏡驅動信號104 a之透鏡驅動電路 1 04、以及控制轉軸馬達1 0 1、轉盤馬達1 02、雷射驅動電 路103、及透鏡驅動電路104之控制器105。 光學系110則具有依據雷射驅動信號103a產生檢査 用雷射光束L 1之雷射光源111、將雷射光源1 1 1產生之 檢査用雷射光束L 1轉換成平行光線之硼砂石蠟准直器 112、將檢査用雷射光束L1及反射光L2分離之射束裂光 鏡113、對光記錄媒體前驅物10’照射檢査用雷射光束L1 之光讀寫頭114、以及依據檢査用雷射光束之反射光L2 產生調焦誤差信號FE之光檢器115。 第5圖係光讀寫頭1 14之構成槪略圖。如第5圖所 示,光讀寫頭114具有實施檢査用雷射光束L1之集光的 物鏡114a、依據透鏡驅動信號l〇4a使物鏡114a上下移動 之作動器1 14b、固定於物鏡1 14a上之永久磁鐵1 14c、以 及環設於永久磁鐵114c之周圍的線圈114d。永久磁鐵 1 14c、及環繞其之線圈1 14d係具有以檢測物鏡1 14a之上 下方向的位置爲目的之位置檢測器的機能,流過線圈 1 1 4d之電流會被當做位置檢測信號P並提供給控制器 -20- (16) ] 1 (16) ] 1200412593 105 ° 轉軸馬達101係在控制器105之控制下,使光記錄媒 體前驅物10’以期望之轉數旋轉。轉盤馬達102係在控制 器105之控制下,使光學系110朝光記錄媒體前驅物1(Τ 之直徑方向移動。雷射驅動電路103係在控制器105之控 制下,對光學系11 〇內之雷射光源111提供雷射驅動信號 103a。透鏡驅動電路104係在控制器105之控制下,對光 讀寫頭11 4提供透鏡驅動信號104a。如上面所述,接收到 透鏡驅動信號104a之光讀寫頭114內的作動器114 b,會 依據信號使物鏡1 14a上下移動。利用此方式,可使檢査 用雷射光束L1之束點正確地聚焦於期望之面上。 控制器105上,含有聚焦控制電路l〇5a及判斷電路 105b,聚焦控制電路105a爲活化狀態時,可以控制透鏡 驅動電路1 04,使檢査用雷射光束L1之束點處於對焦於期 望之面上的狀態。又,判斷電路l〇5b係判斷檢査對象之 光記錄媒體前驅物1 〇’爲良品或不良品之判斷電路,依據 光檢器1 1 5產生之p焦誤差信號FE及位置檢測器產生之 位置檢測信號P執行判斷。 第6圖係以檢查光記錄媒體之良否爲目的之方法的流 程圖。 光記錄媒體良否之檢査上,係裝檢査對象之光記錄媒 體前驅物10’安裝於檢査裝置1〇〇後,首先,在控制器 1 0 5之控制下,利用轉軸馬達1 〇丨使光記錄媒體前驅物 1(Τ旋轉(步驟S 11),然後,驅動雷射驅動電路103對光 -21 - (17) (17)200412593 i i 記錄媒體前驅物1 0 ’照射檢査用雷射光束L 1 (步驟s 1 2)。 此時,檢査位置可以驅動轉盤馬達1 02實施光記錄媒體前 驅物1 0’之直徑方向的調整。 利用轉軸馬達101使光記錄媒體前驅物10’旋轉時, 最好將相對於檢査用雷射光束L1之線速度控制爲一定, 此時之線速度,應和實際記錄時及/或再生時之線速度大 致一致。檢査時之線速度若和記錄時及/或再生時之線速 度大致一致,則可在考量存在於光射入面1 6a上之凹凸對 實際資料記錄及/或再生之影響的情況下進行檢査。 其次,在控制器105之控制下,驅動透鏡驅動電路 104,使檢査用雷射光束L1聚焦於光記錄媒體前驅物1(Γ 之光射入面16a(步驟S 13)。 接著,活化控制器105內之聚焦控制電路l〇5a,使檢 査用雷射光束L1對焦於光記錄媒體前驅物10’之光射入面 16a(步驟S 14)。利用此方式,可即時對光讀寫頭114內 之作動器1 14b提供透鏡驅動信號104a,使物鏡1 14a追隨 光射入面16a之凹凸。 第7圖係檢査用雷射光束L 1對焦於光記錄媒體前驅 物10’之光射入面16a的狀態模式圖。因爲光射入面16a 通常具有5%程度之反射率,以和資料記錄時或再生時之 對焦於記錄層14時相同的方式,亦可將其對焦於光射入 面16a上,相對於光射入面16a,若記錄層14之反射率過 高,則在光射入面16a上之檢査用雷射光束L1的對焦會 較爲困難。因此,檢査時,記錄層14之反射率應較低。 -22- (18) 200412593 如第6圖所示,檢査步驟以在起始化步驟之前(步驟 及步驟S 7之間)實施爲佳,就是基於上述理由。 此狀態下,控制器105含有之判斷電路l〇5b會 光讀寫頭114提供之位置檢測信號P及光檢器115提 調焦誤差信號FE,並依據該信號分別計算面振動加 及高域面振動量(步驟S 1 5)。利用下述方式,實施依 置檢測信號P之面振動加速度計算、及依據調焦誤差 FE之高域面振動量計算。 亦即,若物鏡114a和存在於光射入面16a之表 的凹凸連動而上下移動,則位置檢測信號P應會顯示 連動之電流値,在判斷電路1 05b內對位置檢測信號 示之物鏡1 1 4a的位置進行2次微分,可以得到物鏡 上產生之加速度。另一方面,即使光射入面16a之表 存在凹凸時,和其連動之物鏡114a未能上下移動時 即,因凹凸變化太大而使物鏡11 4 a無法追隨時,位 測信號P上不會出現變化。 如此,參照位置檢測信號P,當光射入面16a之 上存在凹凸時,可計算物鏡114可追隨之凹凸會對 1 1 4a產生何種程度之加速度,亦即,可計算「面振 速度」。 又,即使光射入面16a之表面上存在凹凸,但因 化十分大而使物鏡114a無法追隨時,檢査用雷射光] 之焦點會偏離光射入面1 6a,其偏離量會以調焦誤差 FE顯示出來。另一方面’雖然光射入面i6a之表面 S 6 監視 供之 速度 據位 信號 面上 和其 P所 114a 面上 ,亦 置檢 表面 物鏡 動加 其變 ^ L1 信號 上存 -23- (19) (19)200412593 在凹凸時’而物鏡 U4a隨其連動而且正確上下移動時, 調焦誤差信號FE會顯示正確聚焦。 因此’參照調焦誤差信號FE,可知道存在於光射入 面16a之表面上之凹凸當中是否有物鏡n4a無法追隨之 急速變化之凹凸的存在,且可計算其大小,亦即,計算 「高域面振動量」。 又’物鏡114a可追隨之凹凸的限界會因爲使用之構 件而不同,使用CD用之構件時,約爲500Hz程度。亦 即,存在於光射入面16a之表面上的凹凸當中,若其頻率 成分爲約500Hz以下,則物鏡114a可追隨,然而,當其 頻率成分超過約500Hz時,物鏡1 14a將無法追隨。 如此,參照光讀寫頭1 14提供之位置檢測信號p、及 光檢器11 5提供之調焦誤差信號FE,可以計算代表光射 入面1 6a之表面性的面振動加速度及高域面振動量。 其次,控制器1 0 5含有之判斷電路1 〇 5 b,會在步驟 S 1 5,依據計算所得之面振動加速度及高域面振動量,判 斷檢査對象之光記錄媒體前驅物10’爲良品或不良品(步驟 S16)。 第8圖係步驟S 1 6之判斷方法的流程圖。 步驟S 16中,首先,會參照由調焦誤差信號fe所得 之高域面振動量,判斷其是否超過高域面振動量之定限値 (步驟S 2 1)。此時,「高域面振動量之定限値」係存在於 光射入面16a之凹凸當中,會造成物鏡114a無法追隨之 急劇變化之凹凸的可容許尺寸的最大値, -24- (20) (20)200412593 \T\-T2\!W&gt; 5.5xl〇-4 而爲了排除i:式條件之E]凸缺陷’只要將高域面振動 量之定限値設定爲0.3 5 // m即可。以此方式設定高域面振 動量之定限値,可使實際記錄及/或再生時之高域面振動 導致的殘留調焦誤差成分成爲大致10%以下。 差成分若大於10%,對抖動的影響會十分明顯,故在本檢 査步驟中必須排除此種光記錄媒體前驅物1 〇,。 此外,步驟S 2 1之判斷上,若高域面振動量之最大値 超過定限値(S 21 :是),則會判斷爲不良品。 另一方面,面振動量之最大値若未超過定限値(S21 : 否),接著,析出光射入面16a之面振動加速度的最大 値,判斷其是否超過面振動加速度之定限値(步驟S22)。 此時,「面振動加速度之定限値」係指依據存在於光射入 面16a上之凹凸而在物鏡114a上產生之加速度的最大容 許値,此種設定之目的,在排除具有即使檢査裝置1 〇〇可 追隨但因爲使用者實際使用之驅動器性能而可能使聚焦偏 離之面振動的光記錄媒體前驅物10’。具體而言’ \T\-T2\!W&gt; 5.5x1ο-4 爲了排除滿足上述條件之凹凸缺陷’將面振動加速度 之定限値設定爲l〇m/s2即可。以此方式設定面振動加速度 -25- (21) (21)200412593 之定限値,可使實際記錄及/或再生時之高域面振動所導 致的殘留調焦誤差成分爲大約10%以下。在步驟S22之判 斷中,若面振動加速度之最大値超過定限値(S 22 :是), 則判斷爲不良品。 另一方面,若面振動加速度之最大値未規過定限値 (S22 :否),則最後會將其判斷成良品,執行如第3圖所 示之起始化步驟(步驟S7)。 第9圖係依據第8圖所示基準判斷爲良品之區域的模 式圖。如第9圖所示,依據第8圖所示基準執行判斷時, 判斷爲良品之區域係圖上2邊和兩軸圍成之四角形,可 知,只有高域面振動量及面振動加速度皆爲特定定限値以 下時才會判斷成良品。 又,上述光記錄媒體之檢査方法及檢査裝置只是一個 實例而已,亦可利用其他方法, \Tl^T2\/W&gt; 5.5 x1ο-4 排除具有滿足上式條件之凹凸缺陷的光記錄媒體。 例如,上述檢査裝置1 〇〇中,係採用由以產生位置檢 測信號Ρ爲目的之永久磁鐵1 1 4c及線圈1 1 4d所構成之位 置檢測器,亦可利用其他方法來檢測物鏡n 4a上產生之 加速度。例如,以静電電容型位置檢測器取代永久磁鐵 1 14c及線圈丨Md,利用此方式’亦可檢測物鏡n4a上產 生之加速度。 -26- (22) (22)200412593 又,上述之檢査方法中,係使檢査用雷射光束L 1在 光記錄媒體之光射入面上聚焦來檢查光射入面之表面性, 然而,亦可對旋轉中之光記錄媒體的光射入面照射電磁波 或聲波,測量多普勒效果導致之反射波的頻率偏差,檢查 光射入面之表面性。 如以上説明之本實施形態的光記錄媒體1 0,具有設

area of the recording layer 14 but also an already recorded mark In the area where the recording mark is formed, a direct overwriting (direct rewriting) of a recording mark different from the original recording mark is performed. Although the type of the phase change material constituting the recording layer 14 is not particularly limited, in order to achieve high-speed direct rewriting, the time required for the structural change from the amorphous state to the crystalline state (crystallization time) should be selected. ) Shorter materials, such as SbTe-based materials. For SbTe-based materials, SbTe alone can be used. In order to further shorten the crystallization time and improve the reliability of long-term storage, additives can also be added. The thickness of the recording layer 14 is set to 2 to 40 nm. In addition to constituting the incident surface of the laser beam L, the light transmitting layer 16 is a layer forming the optical path of the laser beam L, and its thickness should be set to 30 to 2 00 // m, and preferably 100. To ❿. The material of the light transmitting layer 16 is not particularly limited as long as it has a material with sufficient light transmittance in the wavelength region of the laser beam L to be used. However, it is preferable to use an acrylic or epoxy-based ultraviolet curable resin. . In addition, a light-transmitting layer 1 6 'composed of a light-transmitting resin made of a light-transmitting resin and various adhesives or adhesives may be used instead of a thin film made of an ultraviolet-curable resin. Among the layers constituting the optical recording medium 10, a layer provided between the support substrate 11 and the light transmitting layer 16 is collectively referred to as an "information layer". The read-only optical recording medium uses a row of recessed holes provided on the support substrate 11 to store information, and a layer corresponding to the recording layer 14 is not provided. At this time, the reverse • 14-(10) (10) 200412593 \ The emission layer is equivalent to the information layer. In the optical recording medium 10 of this embodiment, the convexity and convexity of the light incident surface 16a are suppressed within a specific range. This will be described in more detail. Fig. 2 is a slightly enlarged cross-sectional view of the uneven portions existing on the light incident surface 16a. (A) is a convex defect portion, and (b) is a concave defect portion. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), if the thickness of the light transmitting layer 16 of the convex defect 21 peak portion 21a existing on the light incident surface 16a is T1, the thickness of the light transmitting layer 16 of the convex portion 21 end 21b is T2, convex When the distance in the circumferential direction from the peak portion 21a to the end portion 21b of the defect 21 (the distance between the peak portion 21a to the other end portion 21b and the distance to the other end portion 21b is different, the shorter one) is W, In the optical recording medium 10 of this embodiment, at least the variation (T1-T2) and the variation width (W) of all the convex defects 21 in the recording area satisfy the relationship of the following formula. (Tl-T2) / W ^ 5.5 x1ο-4 In other words, in the optical recording medium 10 of this embodiment, at least the recording area does not have a convex defect satisfying the following formula. (Tl-T2) / W &gt; 5.5 x1ο-4 As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the thickness of the light transmitting layer 16 of the concave defect 22 in the valley portion 22a of the light incident surface 16a is T1 and the concave defect 22 The thickness of the light transmitting layer 16 at the end 2 2b is T2, the concave defect 22 valley bottom portion -15- (11) (11) 200412593 I i 22a to the circumferential distance from the end portion 22b (valley bottom portion 22a to one end portion) When the distance to 22b and the distance to the other end portion 22b are different, the shorter one) is W. In the optical recording medium 10 of this embodiment, at least the amount of change in the total number of concave defects 22 in the recording area ( T2-T1) and the variation width (W) satisfy the following relationship. {T2 ^ T \)! W ^ 5.5 xlO'4 In other words, in the optical recording medium 10 of this embodiment, at least the recording area does not have a concave defect satisfying the following relationship. {T2-T \)! W &gt; 5.5x1ο-4 In other words, in the optical recording medium i 0 of this embodiment, all defects existing in the recording area of the light incident surface 16a satisfy the following relationship. \ n-T2 \ / W £ 5.5 x1ο-4 An optical recording medium satisfying this condition, because the light incident surface 16a is very smooth. 'There will be no convex defects 21 or concave defects 22 on the light incident surface 16a. When recording or reproduction characteristics have a significant effect. Specifically, when used in a linear velocity region (10 to 19 fn / s) suitable for recording and / or reproduction of a next-generation optical recording medium, the amount of high-domain surface vibration can be suppressed to 0.35 // m or less. The vibration acceleration is suppressed below 10 m / s2. As a result, (12) (12) 200412593) The residual focus error component caused by high-domain surface vibration or surface vibration acceleration is about 10% or less. Generally speaking, if the residual focus error component exceeds 10%, the effect on the jitter will be extremely significant. Therefore, in the present invention, the jitter is not significant because of the convex defects 21 or concave defects 22 existing on the light incident surface 16a. Deterioration. At this time, "surface vibration acceleration" refers to the acceleration generated on the objective lens during recording and / or reproduction, and "high-area surface vibration amount" refers to the size of the sudden change of the objective lens among the convex defects 21 or concave defects 22. . Next, a method for manufacturing the optical recording medium 10 shown in Fig. 1 will be described. The manufacturing steps of the rewritable optical recording medium 10 generally include a film formation step and an initialization step, and are performed in the order of the film formation step and the initialization step. Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method of manufacturing the optical recording medium 10 shown in Fig. 1. First, by using an injection molding method using a stamper, a supporting substrate 11 on which a groove 11 a and a plane lib are formed is produced (step S1). However, the production of the support substrate 11 is not limited to the injection molding method, and may be produced by other methods such as the 2P method. Next, a reflective layer 12 is formed on the surface of the support substrate 11 on the surface provided with the groove 11a and the plane lib (step S2). The formation of the reflective layer 12 is preferably a vapor phase growth method using a chemical species containing constituent elements of the reflective layer 12. A vapor phase growth method such as a sputtering method or a vacuum evaporation method is preferred, and a sputtering method is preferred. Next, a second dielectric layer 13 is formed on the reflective layer 12 (steps -17- (13) (13) 200412593 Λ 53). The formation of the second dielectric layer 13 is also preferably a vapor-phase incubation method using a chemical species containing constituent elements of the second dielectric layer 13, and a sputtering method is more preferable. Next, a recording layer 14 is formed on the second dielectric layer 13 (step 54). The formation of the recording layer 14 is preferably a vapor phase growth method using a chemical species containing constituent elements of the recording layer 14, and a sputtering method is more preferable. The phase change material after sputtering will become amorphous, and thereafter, it will become crystalline when the initialization step is performed. Next, a first dielectric layer 15 is formed on the recording layer 14 (step 55). For the formation of the first dielectric layer 15, a vapor phase breeding method using a chemical species containing the constituent elements of the first dielectric layer 15 is preferable, and a sputtering method is more preferable. A light transmitting layer 16 is formed on the first dielectric layer 15 (step 56). The light-transmitting layer 16 is formed by, for example, applying a viscosity-adjusted acrylic or epoxy-based ultraviolet curable resin by a spin coating method, and then curing by irradiating ultraviolet rays, or by attaching a light-transmitting resin with an adhesive. It is formed by a light-transmitting plate. As described above, the surface (light incident surface 16a) of the light-transmitting layer 16 formed by the spin-coating method or the attachment of a light-transmitting plate is less flat than the light-incident surface of a CD or DVD. The surface of a light-transmitting substrate. As shown above, the film formation step is completed. In the present invention, the optical recording medium in a state where the film formation step is completed is referred to as "optical recording medium precursor 10 '". However, when no special distinction is necessary, the optical recording medium precursor 10 will be referred to as "optical recording medium" for convenience. -18- (14) (14) 200412593 Secondly, the optical recording medium precursor 10 is placed on a rotating table of a laser irradiation device (not shown in the figure), and in a rotating state, continuous irradiation is performed along the groove 11a. And the length of the direction of the plane lib (circumferential direction) is shorter and the length of the vertical groove 11a and the direction of the plane lib (diameter direction) is longer. Rotating 丨 times, the irradiation position will be shifted in the diameter direction. In this way, almost the entire surface of the recording layer 14 can be irradiated with a laser beam for initialization. That is, the initialization of the recording layer 14 is performed (step S7). The phase change material in the area irradiated with the laser beam for the initiation will be heated to a temperature higher than the melting point. Thereafter, the initiation laser beam will be moved to a distant place for slow cooling. The plane becomes a crystalline state, that is, an unrecorded state. In the above manner, the initialization step is performed to complete the optical recording medium 10. By performing the initializing step, the crystal grain diameter can be relatively large. In this way, the recording layer 14 will have extremely high reflectance. The manufacturing method of the optical recording medium 10 is not limited to the above-mentioned manufacturing method, and a known manufacturing technique used in manufacturing the optical recording medium can be used. Next, a method for checking the quality of the optical recording medium will be described. As for the timing of performing the inspection, any timing after the completion of the film formation step is acceptable, as shown below, because it is not easy to perform the inspection when the reflectance of the recording layer 14 is high, so after the end of the film formation step, It is best to perform a check before the change step (between steps S6 and S7). Hereinafter, an example in which the above-mentioned optical recording medium precursor 10 'is used as an inspection object will be described. Fig. 4 is a schematic configuration diagram of an inspection device for inspecting the quality of an optical recording medium. (19) (15) (15) 200412593 1 0 0 As shown in FIG. 4, the inspection device 100 includes a spindle motor 101 that rotates the optical recording medium precursor 10 ′, an optical system 110 that irradiates the optical recording medium precursor 10 ′ with a laser beam L1 for inspection, and an optical system 110. A turntable motor 102 moving in the diameter direction of the optical recording medium precursor 10 ', a laser drive circuit 103 that provides a laser drive signal 103a to the optical system 110, and a lens drive circuit that provides a lens drive signal 104a to the optical system 110 104, and a controller 105 that controls the spindle motor 101, the turntable motor 102, the laser driving circuit 103, and the lens driving circuit 104. The optical system 110 has a laser light source 111 for generating the inspection laser beam L 1 according to the laser driving signal 103 a, and a borax paraffin collimator that converts the inspection laser beam L 1 generated by the laser light source 1 1 1 into parallel rays. Device 112, beam splitting mirror 113 that separates inspection laser beam L1 and reflected light L2, optical read-write head 114 that irradiates optical recording medium precursor 10 'with inspection laser beam L1, and inspection laser The reflected light L2 of the light beam generates a photodetector 115 of the focus error signal FE. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the constitution of the optical pickup head 114. As shown in FIG. 5, the optical pickup head 114 includes an objective lens 114 a that collects the laser beam L1 for inspection, an actuator 1 14 b that moves the objective lens 114 a up and down based on the lens drive signal 104a, and is fixed to the objective lens 1 14 a. The permanent magnet 114c and the coil 114d are provided around the permanent magnet 114c. The permanent magnet 1 14c and the coil 1 14d surrounding it have the function of a position detector for detecting the position of the objective lens 1 14a in the up and down direction. The current flowing through the coil 1 14d is used as a position detection signal P and provided. Give the controller -20- (16)] 1 (16)] 1200412593 105 ° The spindle motor 101 is controlled by the controller 105 to rotate the optical recording medium precursor 10 'at a desired number of revolutions. The turntable motor 102 is controlled by the controller 105 to move the optical system 110 toward the optical recording medium precursor 1 (T). The laser drive circuit 103 is controlled by the controller 105 to control the optical system 110 within The laser light source 111 provides a laser driving signal 103a. The lens driving circuit 104 provides a lens driving signal 104a to the optical read-write head 114 under the control of the controller 105. As described above, the lens driving signal 104a is received. The actuator 114 b in the optical pickup head 114 moves the objective lens 1 14 a up and down according to the signal. In this way, the beam spot of the inspection laser beam L1 can be accurately focused on the desired surface. On the controller 105 It includes a focus control circuit 105a and a determination circuit 105b. When the focus control circuit 105a is in an activated state, the lens drive circuit 104 can be controlled so that the beam spot of the inspection laser beam L1 is focused on a desired surface. In addition, the judgment circuit 105b is a judgment circuit for judging whether the optical recording medium precursor 10 ′ of the inspection object is a good product or a defective product, based on the p-focus error signal FE generated by the photodetector 1 15 and the position detector product. The judgment of the position detection signal P is performed. Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a method for checking the quality of the optical recording medium. For the quality of the optical recording medium, the optical recording medium precursor 10 'for inspection is installed on the After inspecting the device 100, first, under the control of the controller 105, the optical recording medium precursor 1 is rotated (T is rotated (step S11)) by the spindle motor 10, and then the laser driving circuit 103 is driven to Optical-21-(17) (17) 200412593 ii The recording medium precursor 10 'irradiates the inspection laser beam L1 (step s 1 2). At this time, the inspection position can drive the turntable motor 102 to implement the optical recording medium precursor The diameter direction of the object 10 'is adjusted. When the optical recording medium precursor 10' is rotated by the rotating shaft motor 101, it is preferable to control the linear velocity with respect to the inspection laser beam L1 to be constant. The linear velocity at this time should be It is approximately the same as the linear velocity during actual recording and / or reproduction. If the linear velocity during inspection and approximately linear velocity during recording and / or reproduction, the unevenness existing on the light incident surface 16a can be considered. For actual information The inspection is performed under the influence of recording and / or reproduction. Next, under the control of the controller 105, the lens driving circuit 104 is driven to focus the inspection laser beam L1 on the optical recording medium precursor 1 (the light of Γ enters Surface 16a (step S13). Next, the focus control circuit 105a in the controller 105 is activated so that the inspection laser beam L1 is focused on the light incident surface 16a of the optical recording medium precursor 10 '(step S14). In this way, the lens driving signal 104a can be provided to the actuator 1 14b in the optical head 114 immediately, so that the objective lens 1 14a follows the unevenness of the light incident surface 16a. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a state where the inspection laser beam L1 is focused on the light incident surface 16a of the optical recording medium precursor 10 '. Because the light incident surface 16a usually has a degree of reflectance of 5%, it can also be focused on the light incident surface 16a in the same manner as when the data recording or reproduction is focused on the recording layer 14. If the reflectance of the recording layer 14 on the incident surface 16a is too high, it will be difficult to focus the laser beam L1 for inspection on the light incident surface 16a. Therefore, the reflectance of the recording layer 14 should be low when inspected. -22- (18) 200412593 As shown in Figure 6, the inspection step is preferably performed before the initiation step (between step and step S 7), for the reasons described above. In this state, the judgment circuit 105b included in the controller 105 raises the position detection signal P provided by the optical read-write head 114 and the focus detection signal FE of the photodetector 115, and calculates the surface vibration plus and the high region based on the signals. Surface vibration amount (step S 1 5). In the following manner, the calculation of the surface vibration acceleration according to the detection signal P and the calculation of the high-surface surface vibration amount based on the focus error FE are performed. That is, if the objective lens 114a and the unevenness existing on the surface of the light incident surface 16a are moved up and down, the position detection signal P should display a linked current 値, and the objective lens 1 indicated by the position detection signal in the judgment circuit 105b Differentiate the position of 1 4a twice to obtain the acceleration generated on the objective lens. On the other hand, even when there is unevenness on the surface of the light incident surface 16a, when the associated objective lens 114a fails to move up and down, that is, the objective lens 11 4a cannot be tracked at any time because the unevenness is too large, and the position measurement signal P does not appear. Changes will occur. In this way, referring to the position detection signal P, when there is unevenness on the light incident surface 16a, it is possible to calculate the degree of acceleration that the objective lens 114 can follow the unevenness to 1 1 4a, that is, the "surface vibration velocity" can be calculated. . In addition, even though there is unevenness on the surface of the light incident surface 16a, the focal length of the objective lens 114a cannot be tracked due to the large size, and the focus of the inspection laser light will deviate from the light incident surface 16a. The error FE is displayed. On the other hand, although the surface S 6 of the light incident surface i6a monitors the speed signal signal surface and its P 114a surface, the inspection surface objective lens is also changed ^ L1 signal is stored -23- (19 ) (19) 200412593 When the objective lens U4a moves along with it when it is concave and convex, and it moves correctly up and down, the focus error signal FE will show correct focus. Therefore, with reference to the focusing error signal FE, it can be known whether there is any objective lens n4a among the unevenness existing on the surface of the light incident surface 16a that cannot follow the rapid change, and the size can be calculated, that is, "high Domain surface vibration amount. " Also, the limit that the objective lens 114a can follow the unevenness varies depending on the component used. When using a component for CD, it is about 500 Hz. That is, among the unevenness on the surface of the light incident surface 16a, if the frequency component is about 500 Hz or less, the objective lens 114a can follow. However, when the frequency component exceeds about 500 Hz, the objective lens 114a cannot follow. In this way, referring to the position detection signal p provided by the optical read-write head 1 14 and the focus error signal FE provided by the photodetector 115, it is possible to calculate the surface vibration acceleration and the high-domain surface representing the surface properties of the light incident surface 16a. The amount of vibration. Secondly, the judgment circuit 1 05b included in the controller 105 will judge the optical recording medium precursor 10 'of the inspection object as a good product at step S15 based on the calculated surface vibration acceleration and the high-domain surface vibration amount. Or defective product (step S16). FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the determination method of step S 16. In step S16, first, the high-domain surface vibration amount obtained from the focus error signal fe is referred to determine whether it exceeds a fixed limit 値 of the high-domain surface vibration amount (step S 2 1). At this time, the "constant limit of the amount of vibration in the high-domain plane" exists in the unevenness of the light incident surface 16a, and the maximum allowable size of the unevenness of the objective lens 114a that cannot follow the sharply changing unevenness, -24- (20 ) (20) 200412593 \ T \ -T2 \! W &gt; 5.5xl0-4 And in order to exclude i: E condition of convex condition] convex defect 'Just set the upper limit of the amount of vibration of the high-domain surface 面 to 0.3 5 // m Just fine. Setting the fixed-limit value of the high-domain surface vibration in this way allows the residual focus error component caused by high-domain surface vibration during actual recording and / or reproduction to be approximately 10% or less. If the difference component is greater than 10%, the effect on the jitter will be very obvious. Therefore, this optical recording medium precursor must be excluded in this inspection step. In addition, in the judgment of step S 21, if the maximum 値 of the high-level surface vibration amount exceeds a predetermined limit 値 (S 21: Yes), it is judged as a defective product. On the other hand, if the maximum surface vibration amount 値 does not exceed the fixed limit S (S21: No), then the maximum surface vibration acceleration 光 of the light incident on the surface 16a is precipitated to determine whether it exceeds the fixed limit 面 of the surface vibration acceleration. Step S22). At this time, the "constant limit of surface vibration acceleration" refers to the maximum allowable acceleration of the objective lens 114a based on the unevenness existing on the light incident surface 16a. The purpose of this setting is to exclude even the inspection device. 1 00. An optical recording medium precursor 10 'that can follow but may vibrate off-focus due to the performance of the drive actually used by the user. Specifically, '\ T \ -T2 \! W &gt; 5.5x1ο-4 In order to eliminate irregularities satisfying the above-mentioned conditions', the limit of the surface vibration acceleration 加速度 may be set to 10 m / s2. Setting the surface vibration acceleration -25- (21) (21) 200412593 in this way allows the residual focus error component caused by high-domain surface vibration during actual recording and / or reproduction to be approximately 10% or less. In the judgment of step S22, if the maximum value of the surface vibration acceleration exceeds a predetermined limit (S22: YES), it is judged as a defective product. On the other hand, if the maximum acceleration of surface vibration is not specified (S22: No), it will be judged as a good product, and the initialization step shown in FIG. 3 will be executed (step S7). Fig. 9 is a pattern diagram of a region judged to be a good product based on the criteria shown in Fig. 8. As shown in Figure 9, when the judgment is performed according to the benchmark shown in Figure 8, the area judged to be a good product is a quadrangle surrounded by 2 sides and two axes on the map. It can be seen that only the high-level surface vibration amount and the surface vibration acceleration are Goodness is judged only when the specific limit is set below 値. In addition, the above-mentioned inspection method and inspection device of the optical recording medium are just examples, and other methods may also be used. \ Tl ^ T2 \ / W &gt; 5.5 x1ο-4 Exclude optical recording media having irregularities that satisfy the above-mentioned conditions. For example, in the inspection device 100 described above, a position detector composed of a permanent magnet 1 1 4c and a coil 1 1 4d for generating a position detection signal P is used, and other methods can be used to detect the objective lens n 4a. The resulting acceleration. For example, instead of the permanent magnet 114c and the coil Md, an electrostatic capacitance type position detector can be used to detect the acceleration generated on the objective lens n4a. -26- (22) (22) 200412593 In the above inspection method, the inspection laser beam L 1 is focused on the light entrance surface of the optical recording medium to check the surface properties of the light entrance surface. However, It is also possible to irradiate the light incident surface of the rotating optical recording medium with electromagnetic or acoustic waves, measure the frequency deviation of the reflected wave caused by the Doppler effect, and check the surface properties of the light incident surface. As described above, the optical recording medium 10 of this embodiment has the thin light transmitting layer 16 provided on the opposite side of the support substrate 11 because the unevenness in the recording area of the surface-light incident surface 16a exists. The defects all satisfy the following conditions, \ T \ -T2 \ IW ^ 5.5xlO'4. Therefore, the concave-convex defects existing on the light incident surface 16a will not seriously affect the recording characteristics or reproduction characteristics. The "light incident surface" of the present invention refers to the surface of the optical recording medium on which the laser beam used for recording and / or reproduction is incident, and does not need to be the surface of the light transmitting layer 16. Therefore, when a hard coating layer or the like is provided on the surface of the light transmitting layer 16, the surface is a "light incident surface". The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be implemented within the scope of the invention for which a patent is applied. Of course, the aforementioned various changes are also included in the scope of the present invention. Examples Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail using examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples. [Production of the sample] First, the injection molding method was used to produce a thickness of 1.1 mm, a diameter of 120 mm, a groove 11a formed on the surface, and a plane lib (gauge (distance between grooves) = 0.3 // m) made of polycarbonate. Dish-shaped support substrate 1 1. Next, this support substrate 11 is set in a sputtering device, and an alloy made of silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), and copper (Cu) is sequentially formed on the side where the trench 11a and the plane lib are formed by the sputtering method.

At this time, the detection method of the residual focus error component is shown below. First, detect the focus error signal obtained when the distance between the sample and the objective lens is changed without performing the focus servo, and find the focus sensitivity curve that replaces the relationship between the distance between the table sample and the objective lens (displacement) and the output of the focus error signal. . Calculate the difference between the positive-side spike 値 and the negative-side spike 値 of this focus sensitivity curve, and define this as ^ F ". Next, the knife-edge method is used to detect the focus error signal obtained when the focus servo is implemented, and the difference between the positive side spike 値 and the negative side spike 値 is determined, and this frame is defined as "R". And use R / F to calculate the residual focus error component. In addition, using the above-mentioned evaluation device, under the same conditions as described above, the mixed signals composed of 2T to 8T signals of the 1,7RLL modulation method were recorded for samples # 1 to # 6, respectively. Second, the recorded mixed signal is reproduced to detect its jitter. The jitter at this time refers to the jitter of the clock. Use the time interval analyzer to obtain the "fluctuation (σ)" of the reproduced signal, and use σ / Tw (Tw: one cycle of the clock) to calculate.
