- Phase-change type CD-RW or DVD-RW utilizes the reflectance difference and the phase difference change caused by the refractive index difference between the amorphous state and the crystalline state in the recording layer composed of the phase-change recording material. The recording information signal is detected.
- phase-change recording material examples include, for example, SbTe-based, GeTe-based, GeSbTe-based, InSbTe-based, AgSbTe-based, AglnSbTe-based, GeSb-based, GeSbSn-based, InGeSbTe-based, and InGeSbSnTe-based materials.
- SbTe-based, GeTe-based, GeSbTe-based, InSbTe-based, AglnSbTe-based, GeSb-based, GeSbSn-based, InGeSbTe-based, and InGeSbSnTe-based materials examples include, for example, SbTe-based, GeTe-based, GeSbTe-based, InSbTe-based, AgSbTe-based, AglnSbTe-based, GeSb-based, GeSbSn-based, InGeSbTe-based, and InG
- Injection molding is performed using an injection molding machine (Nissei Kogyo Co., Ltd .: M04 0D3H) using a nickel master having a track pitch of 0.74 ⁇ m, a width of approximately 0.37 ⁇ m, and a depth of approximately 160 nm. ).
- Table 1 shows the main molding conditions for each resin material.
- the light-transmitting stampers obtained by injection molding each have a guide groove accurately transferred from a nickel master disk! / It was confirmed that.
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing the measurement results of the light transmittance of the polypropylene light-transmitting stamper at a wavelength of 200 nm to 500 nm.
- the light transmittance was measured using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (V-560, manufactured by JASCO Corporation).
- the above-mentioned light-transmitting stampers were placed on the UV-curable resin material layers, respectively, and the UV-curable resin was cured by irradiating UV rays. Thereafter, a knife edge was inserted from the center hole portion (inner diameter side) of the light transmissive stamper to the non-coating portion of the intermediate layer. Then, the light-transmitting stamper and the ultraviolet-curable resin material layer were peeled off by applying force. At this time, the peelability was evaluated according to the following criteria.
- the same light transmissive stamper was repeatedly used, and the number of usable times was obtained.
- the number of usable times is used to evaluate the number of times the light-transmitting stamper can be used repeatedly (the number of times it can be used repeatedly).
- An intermediate layer was formed on a reflective layer formed by a sputtering method on a disk-shaped substrate having an outer diameter of 120 mm and a center hole having an inner diameter of 15 mm.
- the intermediate layer was formed as follows In other words, 2.5 g of an uncured UV-cured resin precursor (viscosity: 1200 mPa's) mainly composed of a radical polymerization type acrylate was dropped in a circular shape at a position of 25 mm inside diameter on the reflective layer. The film was rotated and stretched at 3500 rpm for 15 seconds to form a UV curable resin material layer.
- the above-described light-transmitting stamper made of polypropylene (Example 1) and the light-transmitting stamper made of amorphous polyolefin (Example 2) were used, respectively, under vacuum evacuation! / Finally, they were bonded so that the guide groove of the light transmissive stamper and the application surface of the UV curable resin material layer faced each other. Subsequently, a metal halide lamp was irradiated from the light-transmitting stamper side in a nitrogen atmosphere to cure the ultraviolet curing resin to form an intermediate layer. Illumination and the integrated light amount of ultraviolet rays is a measure of the wavelength of 365 nm, were respectively 216mW / cm 2, 1092mj / cm 2
- a UV-curable resin was cured in the same manner as in Example 1, and a peel test of the light-transmitting stamper was performed.
- Example 3 A recording layer by spin coating and a reflective layer by sputtering were formed on a disk-shaped substrate having an outer diameter of 120 mm and a center hole having an inner diameter of 15 mm.
- a reflective layer On this reflective layer, 2.3 g of an uncured UV-curable resin precursor (viscosity: 260 mPa-s) mainly composed of a radical polymerization type acrylate was dropped in a ring shape at a position of an inner diameter of 25 mm. Thereafter, the film was rotated and stretched at 4000 rpm for 6 seconds to form an ultraviolet-curable resin material layer.
- an uncured UV-curable resin precursor viscosity: 260 mPa-s
- end burrs vertical burrs at the ends of the ultraviolet curable resin
- This portion was laser-trimmed using a CO gas laser manufactured by KEYENCE CORPORATION.
- An intermediate layer was formed in the same manner as in Example 3 except that the shape of the light transmitting stamper was a disk having an outer diameter of 124 mm and a center hole having an inner diameter of 15 mm.
- the manufacturing efficiency of the laminated multilayer optical recording medium by the 2P method is improved.
