摘要:
An optical information recording medium is provided in which the active layer is a phase change material capable of absorbing energy and being converted between a substantially amorphous state and a substantially crystalline state. The active layer contains nitrogen, which may be in the form of a nitride or nitrides of the constituent elements of the active layer, or may be a nitrided surface thereof. The inclusion of nitrogen inhibits localized shifting of the active material, which leads to degradation of the recording/erase properties of the medium. The optical recording medium includes a substrate, onto which is deposited in sequence a first dielectric layer, a nitrogen-containing active layer, a second dielectric layer, and a metallic reflecting layer. The second dielectric layer is made thin, so that the cooling rate of the active layer is increased to form a more uniform amorphous state.

摘要:
An optical information recording medium is disclosed in which the recording layer is a material capable of absorbing energy and being reversibly converted between a substantially non-crystalline or amorphous state and a substantially crystalline state. The recording layer is a Te-Ge-Sb composition which also contains nitrogen. The optical recording medium includes a substrate onto which is sequentially deposited a first dielectric layer, a nitrogen-containing recording layer, a second dielectric layer and a metallic reflecting layer. In order to control the sensitivity of the medium to laser irradiation, the second dielectric layer is graded in thickness and progressively becomes thicker as a function of increasing radius. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the reflecting layer is graded in thickness, and progressively becomes thinner as a function of increasing radius. To further optimize the write/erase characteristics, the write to erase power ratio, as well as the recording duty cycle of the laser are varied as a function of radial position.

Disclosed is an optical information recording medium which comprises an active layer which undergoes phase change upon irradiation with light and protective layers formed on both the sides of the active layer, wherein the thermal capacity of the active layer which is a heat source is decreased, a reflection layer of high thermal conductivity is provided on the protective layer to cause increase of the coefficient of lines expansion of the protective layer with increase in distance from the active layer or the thickness of each layer is specified to make nearly the constant maximum temperature by irradiated light against a change in the thickness of the active layer.
摘要:
In a record medium wherein information is recorded and/or erased by changing the optical state thermally by the irradiation with a laser beam or the like, a protection layer made from a material having a larger thermal conductivity than adjacent protection layers is used to decrease the temperature difference between the center and edges of a record mark on recording and/or erasing with a laser beam. By using the material having a larger thermal conductivity, the heat due to the irradiation with a laser beam or the like is diffused not only to the periphery of the substrate, but also to the plane of the substrate surely. Therefore, the temperature difference between the center and the edges in a mark on irradiation with the laser beam is decreased, and the recording/erasing characteristics and the power margin for erasing can be improved.
摘要:
A method of depositing the layers of an optical recording medium to their requisite thicknesses is disclosed in which optical monitoring of the reflectivity of a first dielectric layer during deposition is used to determine the deposition rate. The reflectivity is monitored to determine the time period in which the reflectivity reaches a maximum or minimum value, which occurs when the layer is a quarter wave thick. The deposition rate is derived from that time period, and the deposition is continued for a time in accordance with the deposition rate until the requisite thickness of the first dielectric layer is obtained. The second dielectric layer is deposited for a lesser time period in accordance with the deposition rate which has been optically derived during deposition of the first dielectric layer.
