Problems solved by technology

[0009] A problem arises when only carbides are used for the dielectric layer between the reflective layer and the recording layer: the optical constant k increases from single digits to four digits compared to oxides
In that case, the number of layers increases more and more, causing a problem of high manufacturing cost of the optical recording medium

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide an optical recording medium containing a substrate, and a reflective layer, a second dielectric layer, a recording layer and a first dielectric layer which are disposed over the substrate in this order, wherein the recording layer contains a phase-change recording material containing any one of GeSbSnMn and GeSbSnMnGa, and the second dielectric layer contains an oxide of two or more elements of Nb, Si and Ta.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical recording medium on which high-density and high-speed information recording and reproduction can be performed using laser beams. Background technique [0002] In recent years phase change optical discs have been used as rewritable optical discs. Specifically, there are disc specifications for each of CD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM. However, there is a need for an optical disc on which information can be recorded and reproduced in a larger capacity, and for the overall development of a digital broadcasting infrastructure that handles high-quality, high-resolution images, and for large The development of volume file storage is in progress. Therefore, higher densities and accelerated writing speeds are required simultaneously. [0003] There have been many proposals for higher density; however, a method of realizing high-density recording by further increasing the numerical aperture of an optical pickup i...
