摘要:
A multilayer optical disk having an information storage layer which can as well as be reproduced by a general purpose reproducing apparatus, for example, a compact disk player, and from which information can be read from other information storage layers by using an exclusive reproducing apparatus. The multilayer disk has a first substrate on which is formed a first information storage layer which is relatively highly reflective with respect to a light beam having a wavelength of 770-830 nm; and a second substrate on which is formed a second information layer which is relatively transparent with respect to a light beam having a first substrate on which is formed a wavelength of 770 mn to 830 nm but which is sufficiently reflective with respect to a light beam having a wavelength of 615-655 nm.
摘要:
A magneto-optical playback method employing a magneto-optical recording medium having a playback magnetic layer, a recording magnetic layer, a transparent dielectric layer and a reflecting layer. The playback magnetic layer is so formed that its playback output R.times..theta..sub.k (in which R and .theta..sub.k represent the reflectivity and the Kerr rotation angle of the recording medium, respectively) is sufficiently small at any point lower than a threshold temperature T.sub.th at which the magnetization thereof is inverted. According to this method, a playback output is obtained by inverting the magnetization of merely the playback magnetic layer alone in a playback mode, thereby achieving ultrahigh-density recording with enhanced linear density (recording density on record tracks) and transverse-to-track density while improving the playback signal-to-noise ratio.

A memory cell is provided, in which a resistance value is appropriately controlled, thereby a variable resistance element may be applied with a voltage necessary for changing the element into a high or low resistance state. A storage element 10, a nonlinear resistance element 20, and an MOS transistor 30 are electrically connected in series. The storage element 10 has a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic opposite to a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of the MOS transistor 30, and changes into a high or low resistance state in accordance with a polarity of applied voltage. The nonlinear resistance element 20 has a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic similar to the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of the storage element 10.

摘要:
A method for manufacturing an optical disc master using an existing exposure system, and a method for manufacturing an optical disc having higher recording capacity. The method for manufacturing an optical disc, using a master to produce the optical disc having an irregular pattern thereon, the master being produced by the steps of forming a resist layer composed of a resist material including an incomplete oxide of a transition metal such as W or Mo on a substrate, the oxygen content of the incomplete oxide being smaller than the oxygen content of the stoichiometric composition corresponding to a valence of the transition metal; selectively exposing the resist layer with laser according to a recording signal pattern; and developing the resist layer to form the predetermined irregular pattern.
