Description

Optical record medium

Present invention generally relates to the material of canned data coding and make the method for this material, particularly this material be for the optical information storer custom-designed.

The recoverable information storage system of optics can be carried out business-like use (more commonly the form with mini disk provides, as card) with the form of video disk and recording disc.Recently, such as light belt (Gelbart, United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 567, No. 585) with by the De Laitesile of California Meng Tingweiyou, United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 544, No. 835) just causing the attention of business circles.Information carrier or memory storage are as video disk and recording disc, usually as ROM (read-only memory) (ROM).Say that typically information permanently is pressed in the disc in manufacture process with very little structure concavo-convex characteristic storage.The optical reproduction of this data is finished by the different reflection technology that uses the laser of frequency modulation light source.

Information can be placed on those optical memory with very high density, its limit is determined (λ/2NA by the size that diffraction light limited that the laser beam that focuses on definitely resolves into it theoretically, wherein i is a Wavelength of Laser, and NA is the diameter value of focused beam).Be stored on the information principle on the ROM (read-only memory) and can use initial time value of method of optics access, electronic then decoding offers the user with significant form.

In the storage system that is read-only function design, information is stored on the device with minimum concavo-convex form (concaveconvex structure) usually, is showed by the high reflecting background layer on the device.When device moves with respect to laser beam,, but so provide the coded signal of electronic code because the difference of the reflected light signal that the existence of these jogs produces is detected.The essence of detected modulation signal is because the phase relation between the reflected light of the reflected light of concaveconvex structure and its peripheral part changes for the maximum light resolution of reflected signal during the optical reading of ROM (read-only memory) from the coding structure of these systems, information carry a little the surface and the physical distance between the surface of its peripheral part, should make the composition surface laser light reflected between these surfaces on phase place, be ahead of about 180 ° of other surface.When the laser spots of imaging was described in the marginal portion of information point, the harmful interference of the reading light beam that is produced made the strength degradation of folded light beam.

Typically, these concaveconvex structures are made groove and/or burr shape, make the servo-drive system of laser read device can the trace information signal.These tracks guide exactly and laser beam are focused on these aspects so that maximum signal contrast to be arranged between the guarantee information.Usually, the width of the part of depression and projection and the degree of depth are uniformly but are often changing on the length of track.Therefore, the space representation form that the time that these features can more contained frequency modulated signal changes, these signals are because video, or the more complicated form of expression digital data encoding.

The typical manufacture method of ROM (read-only memory) (for example disk) is with these depressions and projection or track punching press or the surface of annotating stock, the most frequently used is the compound substance of polymerization, or photosensitive paint is sprayed directly into the photopolymer that forms on the substrate.Temperature that former is strict and pressure control are with the distortion of minimizing dish and the impurity (reducing by 2 refractions) with inhomogeneous optical characteristics of trying one's best.Following saturating fault of sending out of both of these case is particularly crucial for the system of reading from substrate.

The forming surface of the substrate of the substrate of ROM (read-only memory) as aluminium, can be distinguished the digital signal that with jog branch produce the substrate of an i irradiating light beam reflection to be provided, to make coated with the skim highly reflective material.On the coding reflecting surface of being everlasting, add a suitable protective seam then,, guarantee that simultaneously this system is not subjected to any contamination by dust or galled spots when reading light not by substrate to prevent this surface by mechanical damage or environmental aging.

Except that ROM (read-only memory), write medium and reading and writing, scavenge system again and introduced market recently.Being typically these systems utilizes diode optical excitation device that coded message is read or write from device.Information material can have several forms: comprising some nonvolatil record materials in advance (being similar to ROM (read-only memory)), in addition can also by the user with light beam directly or indirectly reciprocation for good and all form (writing again); Full detail is written into by laser; Maybe can form or eliminate and (write with the laser reciprocation.Read.Remove).

The effect of writing again of optical information storage usually provides in " direct read after write " mode (DRAW), and perhaps further, " repeatedly read-write " be medium (WORM).On this, light storage device or dish have used suitable track with relevant access information preformatting.Some devices have suitably merged reflection and active layer becomes sandwich construction.

Keep the write device again of recording or video signal to be called recordable mini disk memory storage.For these devices are used on the standard device under the present industrial standard, they must have about 70% reflectivity, its sensitivity simultaneously will be enough to write under the speed of about 4.3 megahertzes, and this is recording or the desired check speed of video signal reproduction.Under this check speed, the susceptibility of medium should be enough to make it to allow the work of writing with the laser of about 10 milliwatts.Till now, without any can reaching these standards, device comes into the market.One embodiment of the invention just have this about 70% reflectivity levels, in the ability of about 4.3 megahertzes with the laser log of about 10 milliwatts.

In the present invention, reflection is same one deck, i.e. alloy with active layer.This active layer is applicable to that new data is by the apparatus for encoding with the reciprocation of light.For example, a branch of light modulated is through making coded message enter its surface on the size that it is closely gathered a point, and the size of this point is the power ratio change of optical property of the mobile layer of detection dish effectively on the unit area.The essence of detected modulated light signal is because the polarization state difference of coefficient, catoptrical phase relation and the folded light beam of absorbed reflection in reading process.

The representational form of the WORM medium textural association of data coding (will finish together) comprising: phase change system (people such as Boulogne moral, United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 579, No. 807), configuration is revised, light magetic device, bubble forms, and ablation/melting appartus.The comment of these devices can be seen " vacuum technique periodical " A3(3), 1985, the 640th to 645 page, author Li Wenyang.Ablation/melting appartus is repeatedly the most conventional form of read-write system.Data stores with little concavo-convex form, these little concavo-convex be will approach active layer (the most frequently used metal or metal alloy) with optical radiation (spot heating begins to form from the surface melting of dish or the bottom line of ablation to the material on the active layer.In this method, the surface structure of ablation changes, and detects thereby can carry out light.

In these examples, because tellurium has lower fusing point/ablation point, so generally on the part of active layer, contain its alloy.Fusing/ablation along with the tellurium alloy of part has produced the fine porosity and has exposed following substrate.This hole can carry out the light inspection with at least two kinds of structural shapes.

In first kind of pattern, second substrate suitably is attached on first, the substrate that it and first are coated with tellurium from a distance so that between two substrates, produce an airspace.Because tellurium alloy has level and smooth reflecting surface, ray correspondingly reflects from its surface, and after hole formed, light passed across first transparent substrate and internal reflection and loss in the airspace.Therefore, unaltered surface reflection occurs and hole divides and deceives.This pattern often is called as " the sandwich dish of writing again of air " (Kenny, United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 074, people such as No. 282 and Lai Heliee, United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 308, No. 545).

In second kind of form, low reflexive tellurium alloy overlays on the medium that is made of the metal substrate (as aluminium) that overlays on successively together.This form provides with the three-decker of reflex reflection usually.The thickness of medium is carefully selected, and penetrates light to the i that makes the information that reads from disc and produces harmful interference.Therefore before writing, device has almost absorbed the radiation of all reading light sources, and in the place that hole forms, because the shortage of tellurium alloy has been eliminated harmful interference of optical radiation, light can reflect the metal surface below it.

These two kinds of forms show that numerical information exists in the dish with the form of different absorptions and reflective surface area, and require it to carry out comprehensive Design by satisfying signal to the standard of sound conversion.

Although carried out extensive studies, still show a lot of utmost points based on the system self of tellurium and alloy and do not meet the characteristic that commercial repeatedly read-write system needs, can not be used for the record of mini disk memory storage.At first, very unstable when tellurium and alloy are exposed in oxygen or the moisture, therefore need expensive dish airtight sealed structure, to guarantee the minimum 10 years filing storage life (Mei Shita etc., United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 433, No. 340) of data.Secondly, because tellurium and the peculiar toxicity of alloy thereof are careful in the extreme when using tellurium in manufacture process.In addition, unchanged tellurium film and low by the catoptrical contrast between the hole of laser beam generation makes the storage of data and extracts important mistake to occur.Theoretically, accurate and reliable matching requirements has the contrast greater than 5 to 1.That is to say, be that the system of stock only shows about reflectivity of 35% to 40% with the tellurium, so it can not satisfy the standard of mini disk memory means record.

Several criterions of being considered when selecting and design active layer depend primarily on the contrast of optimizing in these devices.For example, because speed is important consideration when data logging and recovery, therefore in the repeatedly read-write or mini disk memory storage of ablation/fusing type, active thin metal alloy reflection horizon is very desirable as suitable material, so that can make laser emission promptly form jog under the little energy consumption of trying one's best.In addition, to keep relatively unaffected when datum recover also be important in the metal surface that forms the activity of sunk part circumferential surface and reflection.Any destruction on this surface all will cause the decline of optical signal quality in reading process, thereby the error rate (BER) of increase sunk part becomes the ratio of sound with the reduction conversion of signals.

(ROM in above-mentioned all references are used, WORM and recordable mini disk storer), the most important thing is that active reflecting surface will be evenly, and can between information point and circumferential surface thereof, provide significantly, contrast clearly be that the ratio of sound reaches maximum so that make conversion of signals.In addition, in order to ensure the long preservation of coded message, require the surfacing of active reflection to have corrosion-resistant and anti-oxidation characteristics highly, corrosion and oxidation can make signal rotten.Reflecting material is attached on the support substrate securely and stability with size and environment be reflectivity that important active surface has a height thereby not need second reflection horizon also be favourable, this will reduce the expense of light storage device.

The invention provides a kind of improved light storage device and manufacture method thereof, it can be finished at an easy rate and not need too much expense, and has the fabulous size and the stability of environment.The present invention utilizes a substrate that posts a metallic film, and the substrate made from glass, pottery, epoxy resin, plastics, fiber-reinforced plastic, metal and their compound substance all is applicable to the present invention.

Soft metal alloy with highly reflective is by comprising that from one group at least two kinds of metals selecting the metal of cadmium, indium, tin, antimony, lead, bismuth, magnesium, copper, aluminium, zinc and silver are formed, and every kind of shared percentage by weight of metal is at least 5%.

The present invention includes multiple layer metal/substrate compound substance and manufacture method thereof.The definite metal alloy that develops as the production of the reflection of automobile and other means of transports and setting part before this invention is directly used provides very useful material to be used for producing the data storage material readable and/or that can write of optics now.These compound substances and manufacture method thereof can be with reference to the data of following announcement: Ke Fuman etc., U.S. Patent number the 4th, 115, No. 619, distribution on September 19th, 1978; Ke Fuman etc., United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 211, No. 822, issue on July 8th, 1980; Ma Dun etc., United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 241, No. 129, issue on Dec 23rd, 1980; And Ke Fuman, U.S. Patent number the 4th, 510, No. 208, issue on April 9th, 1985.Each all relates to manufacture method at the polymer matrix film of a surperficial metal clad alloy particularly these patents, and wherein metal alloy shows high reflection characteristic, loses in the use of the metalized surface that this specific character can be not afterwards.

The United States Patent (USP) of Ke Fuman etc. has been announced a kind of metal/organic polymer composite material of multilayer for the 4th, 115, No. 619, and this article also provides through metallized polystyrene or polycarbonate membrane.This metal alloy can contain weight and be at least one or more metals in 50% antimony, indium, bismuth, tin, zinc, cadmium and the lead; Weight accounts for one or more in 10% silver, copper, gold, aluminium and the magnesium.Better scheme is that this metal alloy contains 5～95% tin, 5～95% bismuth and 0～40% copper.The metal/polymer compound compound substance that the United States Patent (USP) of Ke Fuman etc. is announced for the 4th, 211, No. 822, soft metal alloy wherein uses 25～90% tin, and 8～-60% bismuth metal alloy uses 25～90% tin, 8～60% bismuth and 1～25% copper.

The United States Patent (USP) the 4th of Ma Dun etc., 241, announced a kind of metal/organic polymer composite material structure of multilayer for No. 129, organic polymer wherein is polycarbonate, thermoplastic polyester, the polymkeric substance of acrylic resin, monovinyl arene polymer, vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride or diethanol resin, and metal is indium or is at least two kinds alloy in cadmium, indium, tin, antimony, lead, bismuth, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, copper or the silver.Polymeric layer can contain the soft adhesive phase of one deck, and this adhesive phase is a dience rubber, perhaps contains the multipolymer of polystyrene, and polybutadiene, polyisoprene, pliable and tough polyurethane and the material of other thermoplastic elastomer polymkeric substance.Alloy-layer comprises 5% to about 95% tin, and 5% to about 95% bismuth and weight ratio are about 0% to 40% copper.

The United States Patent (USP) the 4th of Ke Fuman etc., 510, metal/organic polymer composite material of announcing a kind of multilayer No. 208, wherein plastic layer is that one deck is attached to the thermoplast on first metal level of being made by the alloy of two or more metals, second layer metal is made by a kind of metal or by the alloy that two or more metals constitutes, and is attached on the ground floor metal.The alloy of ground floor is formed by the two or more metal from one group of cadmium metal, indium, tin, antimony, lead, bismuth, and contains 5% to 40% copper.The second layer metal alloy is to be formed by two or more the metal in cadmium, indium, tin, antimony, lead, bismuth and the zinc.Contain weight ratio in the second layer metal alloy and be at least 30% tin and at least 40% bismuth.

It has been found that the alloy of being announced has very low fusing point in above-mentioned referenced patent.In addition, the degree of corrosion of these alloys is all extremely low, therefore make it chronically the store information coding read repeatedly and do not reduce the ratio that conversion of signals becomes sound.Except fusing point is low, material preferably has lower thermal diffusion coefficient, so that the heat that in the process of writing, produces neither can the loss adjacency substrate layer, can transverse dispersion do not make expanded in size a little yet, and only in reactive metal layer, form cleaning, distinct point.

In addition, this metal alloy should have suitable surface tension, so that the point edge that is produced when the light beam that use is write is clear, thereby for the process of reading provides obviously, signal clearly.This alloy also must easily be attached on the substrate securely and be plated on the substrate, so that form all even continuous layer on the microcosmic in the above.Unexpectedly, exist in the material that in fact these characteristics of having relatively high expectations have all been announced in the patent of above-mentioned institute reference.

In addition, produce the process suitably explanation of this metal/substrate compound substance, a kind of is to contain the thin slice mold pressing processing continuously of substrate material, another kind of method, produce the metal/polymer composite material film, be divided into substrate material with suitable method then.In one embodiment, on-chip metal alloy can also obtain by inserting layer of copper.This is a kind of copper wire arrangement.Substrate can be any material that metal alloy is sticked and the physical strength of supporting is for it arranged.In another kind of embodiment, substrate is repeatedly to put another on-chip thermoplastic sheet after mold pressing.Glass, pottery, plastics, fiber-reinforced plastic, epoxy resin, metal and compound substance thereof can be as substrates.

With reference now to Fig. 1,, represented a kind of feasible method of the present invention among the figure, but the data storage dish that wherein light is read and/or but light is write can be at an easy rate and produce admirably.In illustrated method, the compound substance substrate of polymerization can be any suitable material that resembles makrolon material, organic glass, polystyrene etc. with material continuous or semi-continuous mold process formation substrate.This thin slice can form or form separately with extrusion molding or other ironed processing procedures with continuously shaped effect.Plate the extremely thin emtal alloy film of one deck in its surface, for example use vacuum evapn depositing operation or spraying technique, see No. the 4th, 107,350, the United States Patent (USP) of Burger etc.The metallized thin material of Zhi Zaoing is compared the advantage with many weight with the optical disc of using existing technology manufacturing by this way, it has not only improved productivity, saved basic charge, and the detection of many useful quality controls can carry out before coded message is forced up, and therefore finally suppressed the remarkable minimizing of effective production time in the production of dish.

Then thin material is carried out the mold pressing treatment process and handle, there, one or more trace informations, format information and/or digital code information can be printed directly on its metal surface.This die work can be finished with Fig. 3 or standard stamping machine shown in Figure 4, represents with reference number 10 and 12 respectively among the figure.In the drawings, digital code information is imprinted on respectively on the surface 18 and 20 of block press 10 and 12, and is expressed as salient point 14 or hyporeflexia point (as the hole) 16 respectively, and the shape of block press depends on the form that requires the track that forms on the surface of thin material.

As shown in FIG., the form of these tracks all comprises convex surface and concave surface 17,18 and 20,21 respectively, and is connected by angled side walls 22,24 respectively.In this dish type memory storage, these tracks can be little by little radially move inward with the form of helical.From Fig. 3 to Fig. 6 also as can be seen, the coded message of representing with salient point 14 and concave point 16 respectively on block press 10 and 12 can form the surface of protruding or caving in.

Needed stamping machine generally is placed on (i.e. continuous thermoforming system, or suitable mechanical hook-up are taken turns in pressure rolling) in the suitable thermoforming system, heats thin material then, and extrudes track and coded message in its surface.Because the plastic character of the height of the metal/polymer material among the present invention can not make the reflection characteristic of spectrum that significant loss is arranged, this effect is very suitable to the optical memory of thermoforming, thereby does not need in advance with the thin layer overlay metallization.

Fig. 5 represents for example dish of medium 26() a part, it is formed by the block press shown in Fig. 3 10.As shown in FIG., the initial shape of substrate 28 and metal coating 30 is plane forms, so that produce desired track and coding concave point 32.

Similarly, Fig. 6 represents for example dish of medium 34() a part, it is formed by block press shown in Figure 4 12, and contain track with the coding salient point 36.

The medium of handling through mold pressing (for example dish) can hob or punching press is come out from thin material, then respectively apply be coated with metallic surface 28 and 28 ' on be covered with the protective seam (respectively in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 with reference number 38 and 38 ' represent) of one deck relative thin.Formed device (for example dish) can be paid merchant's fortune with packing through suitably labelled.

It should be noted that the formation of these tracks and numerical information can carry out with continuous technology, for example the method for being discussed among Fig. 1 in front; Perhaps other schemes of carrying out continuously comprise that the film that will handle through mold pressing is layed onto on the substrate; Perhaps use some semi-continuous technologies, its each step all carries out in order; Perhaps use conventional batch process, its blank disc will pass through injection molding, carry out the deposited plating of metal with alloy of the present invention.The right explained hereafter that extrudes numerical information and track is come out.

Fig. 7 represent one for example coils similar in appearance to Fig. 5 and medium 40(shown in Figure 6) sketch, different is the track form.In this medium, the shape on surface contains inclined wall 42 and 44, and each inclined wall can have the coded message of concave point 46 forms.This device 40(for example coils) also comprise and be similar to substrate 48 with the polymerization that is similar to metal alloy coating 50 having of said apparatus.

Referring now to Fig. 8, its expression medium 52(for example coils) the detailed sectional view of amplification of a part, the coded message on this apparatus surface is in order to mold pressing point 54 and writes the form formation of the ablation point 56 that technology obtains with ablation light.Wherein be noted that the expression these coded messages point 54 and 56 minimum, in general the diameter for mold pressing point 54 is 0.08 micron, about 0.05 to 0.5 micron dark.What these points wide should be for beam diameter more precisely is about 1/3, and the degree of depth is about (2n-1) i/4, and n is an integer here, and λ is the wavelength of light beam.This minimum size can make a large amount of coded messages be placed on to compare on the less surface area, thereby the data storage amount of very high density is provided for light computer-readable recording medium (for example dish).Fig. 8 also represents the typical structure of guide rail.The width of guide rail is preferably the about 1/2 of λ irradiating light beam diameter, and the degree of depth is about ((2n-1 λ/4)-λ/8.

And, have metal and apply coating 30,30 to shown in Figure 8 as Fig. 5 ¹, 50 and 60 substrate 28,28 48 and 58 thickness preferably is about 1 * 10 ^-1To about 1 * 10 ^-1Rice, optimum thickness is about 0.1 to 5 millimeter.The thickness of metal alloy film is preferably in about 20 between about 10,000 dusts, and optimum thickness is to 2000 dusts from about 20 dusts.In some reasonable film embodiments, the thickness of metal alloy film is in 80 to 320 dusts and 200 to 320 dusts and 260 to 320 dust scopes.In other mold pressing scheme, the thickness of metal alloy film is preferably in the scope of 100 to 200 dusts.

The metal alloy of being announced in above-referenced is preferably formed by two kinds in the following metal at least, and its weight ratio is no less than 5 percent.These metals are: cadmium, indium, tin, antimony, lead, bismuth, magnesium, copper, aluminium, zinc and silver.Best combination is that weight ratio is about 70% to 75% tin, about 20% to about 25% bismuth, and 0 to 5% copper, and wherein copper is preferably 5%.In the thin material thermoforming, find that the mold pressing head can be heated to about 30 to 340 degrees centigrade under 10 to 500 pounds the pressure per square inch.The time of moulding is depended on many factors to a great extent, generally finishes in about 0.5 to 60 second time.

As mentioned above, the medium made of the method according to this invention (for example dish) can be encoded with the master die press.Therefore, these same devices (for example dish) all are highly suitable for ROM (read-only memory), repeatedly read-write equipment or the application of recordable mini disk storer or their any combination.

Fig. 9 illustrates laser instrument 66 and is launching the light beam 68 of a branch of high order focusing and pass protective seam 70 and be mapped to process on the metal active layer 72.Light beam 68 on metal level 72 promptly spot heating so that form the front portion of point (as the hole) the 74(diagram part of hyporeflexia therein).The duration of work of writing, the place of beam intensity maximum will directly produce fusing or ablation owing to the thermodynamic property of metal in the laser, and its surface tension will make to close and produce a concave point and form a ring edge around formed point at last.Certainly, if necessary, laser beam can focus on the metal active layer 72 and penetrate substrate.

Except this method of the present invention, the medium that any usefulness alloy of the present invention forms can carry out moulding with casting process and/or other present employed technology of routine.The selection that is used for repeatedly the material of read-write equipment and readable mini disk storer (for example dish) is very important, this is because laser can very rapidly produce mark or point on the surface of active layer, and these points are wanted and can be differentiated well, so that produce the ratio that becomes sound than higher conversion of signals in using repeatedly.Furtherly, the thickness of control reactive metal layer is write dish effectively with coded message to go up required performance number also is important to reduce laser as far as possible.Certainly, must keep the net thickness of this alloy, so that the minimum differentiation of used power when obtaining writing required power with the work of reading on CD is any rotten thereby the quantity of power of the function of reading can not make alloy film produce in the process of reading.

Figure 11 represents is when CD is read coded message, with the difference of the light signal of reading shown in the test unit indication shown in Figure 10.Wherein can be clear that the rapid variation between the measured signal of the unmarked surface (shown in the top among the figure, representing) of dish and the point (shown in the bottom among the figure, representing) that gets on punching press or laser-light write with reference number 64 with reference number 62.This variation is represented with the spiking that diagram sharply descends.The small unevenness of the surface configuration of formed dish produce figure like this top (this zone represent with reference number 62) shown in intensity of sound.

In development with assess and generally adopt following condition in the example of the actual work of finishing of the present invention: film thickness is determined with R.D.Mathis TM-100 thickness monitor, quartz transducer is placed in the same plane of substrate material, uses the density of material and 6.15 * 10 of every cubic centimetre 7.80 gram when determining alloy thickness ⁵The gram/(centimetre. second) acoustic impedance.
