Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical recording medium having a phase-change recording layer and used as a write-once medium.
- Optical recording media capable of high-density recording have attracted attention.
- Optical recording media include write-once media, which can be recorded only once and cannot be rewritten, and rewritable media, which can be repeatedly recorded.
- write-once media cannot rewrite recorded information, it is suitable for recording of official documents and the like where information falsification is a problem.
- a write-once medium those using an organic dye as a recording material are widely used.
- the recording sensitivity tends to be insufficient when performing high-speed recording by increasing the linear velocity of the medium, so that it is difficult to achieve a high transfer rate.
- organic dyes have relatively steep spectral absorption characteristics and spectral reflection characteristics, it is necessary to use organic dyes corresponding to recording / reproducing wavelengths.
- phase change type rewritable optical recording media perform recording by changing the crystalline state of the recording layer by irradiating laser light, and recording accompanying such a state change. Reproduction is performed by detecting a change in the reflectivity of the layer.
- the crystalline recording layer is irradiated with a recording level laser beam to be melted, and then rapidly cooled from the molten state to form an amorphous recording mark.
- the amorphous recording mark is crystallized by irradiating a laser beam having an erasing power level to a temperature higher than the crystallization temperature of the recording layer and lower than the melting point, and then gradually cooling. Therefore, overwriting is possible by irradiating a single laser beam while modulating the intensity.
- a medium having a phase-change type recording layer can be used as a write-once medium in addition to the rewritable type described above. When used as a write-once medium, it is necessary that the once formed amorphous recording mark cannot be erased or rewritten.
- the recording is accompanied by decomposition of the organic dye. Therefore, in general, it is said that the linear velocity during recording to double the power of the recording laser beam it is necessary to 21/2 times.
- the portion irradiated with the recording laser beam may reach the melting point. Since the recording layer instantaneously absorbs the laser beam and reaches the melting point, the power of the recording laser beam does not greatly depend on the linear velocity during recording. Therefore, even if the linear velocity at the time of recording is doubled, there is an advantage that the power of the recording laser beam can be slightly increased.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a phase-change optical recording medium that can be used as a write-once type and that can perform high-density recording.
- Such an object is achieved by any one of the following constitutions (1) to (5) '.
- the wavelength of the recording light is L and the numerical aperture of the objective lens of the recording optical system is NA, the maximum length is 0.4 ⁇ / ⁇ ⁇ and is circular or oval.
- An optical recording medium which is a write-once medium having a phase-change recording layer on which recording is performed so that a short recording mark is formed, and in which recording information cannot be erased or rewritten at a minimum linear velocity used.
- FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of the optical recording medium of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of the optical recording medium of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a graph showing the recorded waveform of the 5T signal.
- FIG. 4 is a drawing substitute photograph showing the crystal structure, and is a transmission electron microscope photograph of the recording layer.
- FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between DC erasing power and (Rtop + Rbottom) Z2Rini.
- FIG. 6 is a transmission electron micrograph of a recording layer in which a recrystallization region exists around a recording mark, which is a drawing substitute photograph showing a crystal structure.
- the phase change medium is required to have an improved recording density whether it is a rewritable type or a write-once type.
- the recording mark length is shortened to perform high-density recording, the reproduction output and the jitter are likely to decrease.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-23017 proposes to control the shape of the shortest recording mark to improve the reproduction output reduction and the jitter increase accompanying the high density recording. I have.
- This publication describes an optical recording method in which at least a part of the rear end is convex toward the front end, specifically, a bat-shaped shortest recording mark. Such a bat-like shortest recording mark can be formed by controlling recording conditions.
- the recording laser beam When the recording laser beam is irradiated to the crystallized recording layer, the irradiated area is melted. When the laser beam moves away, the melted area is rapidly cooled to form an amorphous recording mark. At this time, if the cooling rate near the rear end of the molten region is controlled by controlling the intensity modulation pattern of one laser beam, the latter half of the molten region can be recrystallized. As a result, only the first half of the molten region becomes amorphous, and a bat-like amorphous recording mark is formed. According to the method described in this publication, the recording mark width can be made relatively large with respect to the recording mark length, thereby suppressing a decrease in the reproduction output due to the shortening of the recording mark length.
- the wavelength of the recording light is assumed to be I and the numerical aperture of the objective lens of the recording optical system is assumed to be NA, it is sufficient to shorten the length of the shortest recording mark to 0.4 or less than ZNA. Recording width can be secured, and as a result, sufficient reproduction output is obtained.
- jitter is reduced by making the shortest recording mark this shape.
- the present inventors have proposed a write-once phase change medium by providing a recording layer having a relatively low crystallization rate and making the working linear velocity relatively high.
- the length of the shortest recording mark becomes 0.41 / NA or less, and the rear of the molten area is recrystallized. Recording conditions were set.
- the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-2003 Unlike the rewritable medium described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 25, jitter has increased.
- the cause of the increase in jitter in the above experiment for performing high-density recording on a write-once medium is considered as follows. In order to use a phase-change medium as a write-once medium, in the above experiment, a recording layer having a relatively low crystallization rate was provided and the linear velocity used was relatively high.
- the melted recording layer is unlikely to recrystallize.
- recrystallization of the latter half of the melted region is not performed stably, and as a result, the position of the trailing edge of the recording mark tends to vary, and the shape of the recording mark tends to vary.
- the effect of these variations is relatively greater as the recording marks are shorter. Therefore, if the length of the shortest recording mark is as short as 0.4 ⁇ / ⁇ or less, the jitter of the shortest signal increases, and the jitter of the shortest signal strongly affects the jitter of the entire recording signal. Is considered to have deteriorated.
- the present inventors performed recording under conditions to suppress the recrystallization of the latter half of the melted area of the recording layer in order to prevent variations in the shape of the recording marks, thereby preventing variations in the shape of the recording marks.
- the crystallization speed of the recording layer and the heat of the medium are adjusted according to the recording linear velocity so that the recording sensitivity is sufficiently secured and the shape of the shortest recording mark is circular or oval.
- the design was controlled and the optimal recording conditions were set.
- simply making the shortest recording mark circular or oval will result in lower playback output. Therefore, in the present invention, the composition of the recording layer is selected so that the crystallization speed is relatively slow and the change in the reflectance between the crystal and the amorphous becomes large.
- the present invention provides a recording layer having a crystallization rate that can be used as a write-once medium, and furthermore, has a small jitter when performing high-density recording and a sufficiently high reproduction output. Medium realized.
- a sufficient reproduction output is obtained when high-density recording is performed, when the shortest recording mark length is 0.4 ⁇ / ⁇ or less. to noise ratio) should be 45 dB or more, preferably 48 dB or more.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 of JP-A-2000-231725 describe a substantially circular recording mark as a comparative example. These recording marks were formed by making the recording power relatively low to prevent recrystallization of the latter half of the melted area during recording.
- the composition (atomic ratio) of the recording layer on which the recording mark is formed is, as shown in paragraphs 007 1 and 0052 of the publication,
- the circular recording mark is formed at a linear velocity of 1.2 m / s.
- the recording layer of this composition can be erased at a linear velocity of 1.2 m / s.
- the reproduction output is higher because X representing the Sb content is smaller.
- a recrystallization region does not exist around the recording mark.
- a conventional phase-change recording medium as described in JP-A-9-71776 (see FIG. 2) and JP-A-4-366424 (see FIG. 2), the area around an amorphous recording mark Has a recrystallization region. This Is formed by the mechanism described below.
- the beam spot of the laser beam used for recording on the optical recording medium is almost circular, and the energy distribution in the beam spot is a Gaussian distribution. Therefore, when the recording laser beam is applied to the phase-change recording layer, the temperature of the irradiated area becomes higher at the center than at the periphery, and after irradiation, heat is conducted from the center of the irradiated area to the periphery. As a result, the cooling rate in the peripheral part of the irradiation site becomes slow, and the peripheral part is gradually cooled. Therefore, even if the peripheral portion melts once, it does not become amorphous and returns to crystalline again. By such an action, a recrystallized region is formed around the amorphous recording mark.
- the crystal grain size in the recrystallized region formed in this way is different from the crystal grain size formed by initializing the recording layer (entire crystallization). Is also different from the particle size.
- the crystal grain size is different, the light reflectance is also different. As a result, the outer edge of the recording mark becomes unclear, resulting in poor reproduction characteristics.
- jitter becomes worse if the length of the recording mark or the state of the edge becomes unclear.
- the composition of the recording layer and the thermal design of Z or the medium may be appropriately controlled.
- a substantially circular recording mark is described as a comparative example.
- the composition of the recording layer and the thermal design of the medium were selected so that rewriting at a linear velocity of 3.5 m / s was possible.
- a linear velocity of 1.2 m / s it is not a write-once type and recrystallization around the recording mark is likely to occur.
- FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 of the publication around the substantially circular recording mark, there is a difference from the unrecorded crystalline material. Recrystallized regions consisting of different crystalline materials are observed.

- a resin plate or a glass plate having the same thickness as the translucent substrate 2 in FIG. 1 may be used. However, in order to achieve a high recording density by increasing the NA of the recording / reproducing optical system, it is preferable to reduce the thickness of the translucent substrate 2.
- the thickness of the light-transmitting substrate is preferably selected from the range of 30 to 300 m. If the light-transmitting substrate is too thin, the optical effect of dust adhering to the surface of the light-transmitting substrate will increase.

Therefore, it is preferable to reduce the crystal grain size of the reflective layer or to form the reflective layer as an amorphous layer.
- a reflective layer containing Ag or A1 as a main component and containing the above-mentioned additive element is preferable. Since the thermal conductivity of the reflective layer becomes lower as the crystal grain size becomes smaller, if the reflective layer is amorphous, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient cooling rate during recording.
