摘要:
In a method of producing a deposition film of a composite material, a plurality of sputtering targets each containing one of a plurality of different components are disposed separately in a vacuum chamber. A substrate is subjected to sputtering from the sputtering targets while being moved at an adequately high speed relative to a deposition rate from each sputtering target so that extremely thin layers of the respective components are sequentially stacked repeatedly a plurality of times to thereby form a deposition film of a composite material in which the plurality of different components are mixed uniformly.

A magneto-optical recording medium operable with a low external magnetic field intensity during recording and erasing and attenuating a variation in the external magnetic field intensity comprises a magneto-optical recording layer and protective and reflective layer provided adjacent to the magneto-optical recording layers, each of which has a size of microstructures (which are associated with the non-uniformity in composition, density, crystallizability, and the like and visible under a transmission electron microscope) less than the width of a magnetic domain wall in the magneto-optical recording layer.

A magneto-optical recording medium includes a magneto-optical layer, a reflection layer and an inorganic dielectric layer interposed therebetween. The dielectric layer is extremely thin so that it will exhibit almost no optical effect, thereby allowing a high CN ratio to be obtained. Thermal conductivity of the dielectric layer is so low that the magneto-optical and reflection layers are thermally isolated from each other. That is, if refractive index of the dielectric layer is n, thickness of the dielectric layer is T (nm), and the thermal conductivity of the dielectric layer is C (J (m sec K).sup.-1), then the thickness T is set within a range that satisfies the following equation:5n-4.ltoreq.T.ltoreq.(12n-4)(C/2.1).sup.-0.4where C.ltoreq.4J (m sec K).sup.-1.

An optical disk formation member has a center and an outer periphery. A tracking guide groove formation portion and a prepit formation portion are provided on the member. A first land plane on an internal peripheral side of the prepit formation has a depth that is different from a second land plane on the external peripheral side of the prepit formation portion. The second land plane, furthermore, is deeper than the first land plane on the internal peripheral side of the prepit formation portion.

An optical disk and a method for storing write-once information usable for preventing the illegal copies. The optical disk comprises a disk substrate, and a recording layer having a magnetic film disposed on the disk substrate. The optical disk stores write-once information formed by first recording areas and second recording areas and the write-once information being different for each disk. The second recording areas are formed as a plurality of stripe-shaped marks that are oblong in a radial direction of the disk by irradiating laser light based on a modulation signal of the write-once information in the pre-determined portion of the recording layer, in a manner that a magnetic anisotropy in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the second recording areas is smaller than a magnetic anisotropy in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the first recording areas.

An optical disk storing write-once information usable for protecting the copyright of the software by preventing the duplication, unauthorized use, etc., of the software. In the optical disk, a recording layer (213) is formed on a disk substrate (211) with a dielectric layer (212) inbetween. Then, an intermediate dielectric layer (214) and a reflecting layer (215) are successively laminated upon the recording layer (213), and an overcoat layer (216) is formed on the surface of the reflecting layer (215). A plurality of BCA (one of write-once identification information systems) sections (220a and 220b) are recorded by lowering the vertical magnetic anisotropy of the recording layer (213). At the time of reproduction, the write-once information is detected from differential signals.
摘要:
A method for reproducing write-once information from an optical disk. The disk includes a disk substrate and a recording layer on the disk substrate, the recording layer including a magnetic film with a magnetic anisotropy in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the magnetic film. Write-once information formed by first recording areas and second recording areas is stored in a pre-determined portion of said recording layer, the first and second recording areas having different magnetic anisotropies in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the magnetic film. The method includes irradiating linearly polarized laser light onto said pre-determined portion, and detecting a rotational change in a polarization orientation of light reflected from the optical disk or light transmitted through the optical disk, the rotational change being caused depending on which of the first recording area and the second recording area is irradiated with the linearly polarized laser light.
