Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical information recording medium and a recording / reproducing method thereof, and is particularly suitable for application to a write-once optical information recording medium.
- organic dye materials have been mainly used as write-once type optical information recording medium materials.
- the reason for this is that, when using organic dye materials, the compatibility with ROM (read only memory) that requires a relatively high reflectivity in the standard is desired in the wavelength range of the laser light used for recording and reproduction. Is relatively easy.
- the write-once type optical information recording medium can be obtained through a simple process of forming a reflective layer by sputtering after spin coating with an organic dye, which is advantageous in terms of manufacturing costs such as capital investment. Is also cited as a reason.
- the situation has become different when the wavelength of laser light used for recording / reproduction becomes shorter and laser light in the blue-violet wavelength region (wavelength of about 400 nm) is used. That is, it is not easy to synthesize organic dyes that can handle laser light of this wavelength in terms of recording sensitivity, signal characteristics, etc., and the layer structure of optical information recording media can be easily achieved with the conventional simple ones. Can not respond. Further, it is disadvantageous from the viewpoint of push-pull signals and crosstalk in high-density recording that the write-once type optical information recording medium is manufactured by the spin coat method and the uniformity between the land portion and the groove portion cannot be maintained. It has become clear.
- inorganic recording materials instead of conventional organic dye materials has been actively performed.
- Write-once optical information recording media using inorganic recording materials have been difficult to achieve compatibility with high-reflectance ROMs, and there is a need for expensive sputtering equipment that can form multiple layers of materials.
- inorganic recording materials are generally less dependent on the wavelength of the laser light used than organic dye materials.
- the multi-layered information recording layer that has been widely used in recent years (having more than twice the recording capacity of an optical disk of the same size by having a plurality of information recording layers) is easier than when organic dye materials are used. It is. For these reasons, the use of inorganic recording materials as the next-generation optical recording materials instead of organic dye materials is becoming the mainstream and has been put into practical use.
- a write-once type optical information recording medium using a recording layer in a form in which two or more thin films of different metals or metalloid materials are in contact with each other has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
- a recording mark is formed by partially alloying a multilayer film with heat generated by laser light irradiation to form a single film.
- various forms with different materials have been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 2).
- a write-once optical information recording medium using an oxide-based compound as a recording layer has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 3 and 4).
- Sb a In b Sn c Zn d Si e O f has a composition represented by S h, a> 0, b > 0, c> 0, d
- S h a composition represented by S h
- Sb a X b Sn c Zn d Si e O f has a composition represented by S h
- X is, In, Ge, Al, Zn , Mn, Cd, Ga, Ti, Si, Te, Nb
- It is an element selected from Fe, Co, W, Mo, S, Ni, O, Se, Tl, As, P, Au, Pd, Pt, Hf or V, and a> 0, b> 0, c> 0 , D> 0, e> 0, f> 0, h> 0
- a recording layer in which a + b + c + d + e + f + h 100 have been proposed (see Patent Document 6).
- the write-once optical information recording medium having a plurality of information recording layers is selected from the group consisting of Ni, Cu, Si, Ti, Ge, Zr, Nb, Mo, In, Sn, W, Pb, Bi, Zn, and La.
- a recording layer containing at least one selected metal M and an element X that forms a compound crystal with the metal M by being irradiated with a recording laser beam Has been proposed (see Patent Documents 7 and 8).
- JP-A-62-204442 Japanese Patent No. 3066088 Japanese Patent Publication No.54-7458 JP 2006-281751 A JP 2003-72244 A JP 2003-182237 A JP 2005-125726 A JP 2005-129192 A
- the recorded information has been stably stored for a long time in the initial state, the signal is not damaged by the reproduction laser beam during signal reproduction, and the writing characteristics are not changed by normal long-term storage. Therefore, it has been difficult to obtain a write-once optical information recording medium that has good sensitivity and reaction speed, and that can realize good recording / reproduction characteristics over a wide linear velocity and recording power at low cost.
- a write-once optical information recording medium having a plurality of information recording layers recording is performed when the recording materials shown in Patent Documents 5 and 6 are used as the recording material of the information recording layer that does not contact the substrate.

開口数0.85の2群対物レンズと波長405nmで発光する半導体レーザー光源を用いた光ディスク記録再生装置により記録再生を行う光情報記録媒体1を以下のようにして作製した。
実施例1の光情報記録媒体1の第2の情報記録層13の記録層13bの材料として、式(1)で表される組成の記録材料の代わりに特許文献5、6に示される従来のSbInSn系記録材料を用いた比較例の光情報記録媒体と、ZnSおよびSiO2 に加えてSbおよびGaを混合した記録層13bを有する実施例1の光情報記録媒体1とを比較した。
[光情報記録媒体]
図7は本発明の第2の実施の形態による光情報記録媒体2を表している。この光情報記録媒体2は、4層の情報記録層を有する4層光情報記録媒体である。この光情報記録媒体2においては、基板20上に第1の情報記録層21、第1の中間層22、第2の情報記録層23、第2の中間層24、第3の情報記録層25、第3の中間層26、第4の情報記録層27および保護層28が順次積層されている。第2の情報記録層23は、第1の中間層22上に順次積層された第1の誘電体層23a、記録層23bおよび第2の誘電体層23cからなる。
第1の中間層22は、第1の情報記録層21と第2の情報記録層23とを互いに分離するためのものである。第2の中間層24は、第2の情報記録層23と第3の情報記録層25とを互いに分離するためのものである。第3の中間層26は、第3の情報記録層25と第4の情報記録層27とを互いに分離するためのものである。第1の中間層22、第2の中間層24および第3の中間層26は、記録再生用のレーザー光の波長域に吸収を持たない材料からなる。第1の中間層22、第2の中間層24および第3の中間層26の厚さは必要に応じて選ばれ、例えば10~30μmに選ばれるが、これに限定されるものではない。記録再生用のレーザー光の波長域に吸収を持たない材料としては、例えば、硬化後に記録再生用のレーザー光の波長域に吸収を持たない光硬化性樹脂などの光硬化性材料を用いることができる。第1の中間層22、第2の中間層24および第3の中間層26は、例えば、硬化後に記録再生用のレーザー光の波長域に吸収を持たない紫外線硬化樹脂をスピンコーターなどで所望の厚さになるように塗布した後、これに紫外線照射を施して硬化させることにより形成することが可能である。あるいは、第1の中間層22、第2の中間層24および第3の中間層26は、硬化後に記録再生用のレーザー光の波長域に吸収を持たない光硬化可能なPSA(pressure sensitive adhesive)を貼り付けたりなどした後、これに紫外線照射を施して硬化させることにより形成することも可能である。
開口数0.85の2群対物レンズと波長405nmで発光する半導体レーザー光源を用いた光ディスク記録再生装置により記録再生を行う光情報記録媒体2を以下のようにして作製した。
この第2の実施の形態によれば、第1の実施の形態と同様な利点を有する4層追記型光情報記録媒体を安価に得ることができる。
