2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, recording / recording without the need for a magnetic head has been performed.
High-density recording optical disc technology capable of reproduction has been developed, and interest is rapidly increasing. This optical disk is classified into three types: a read-only type, a write-once type, and a rewritable type. In particular, a phase change method used in a write-once type or a rewritable type has attracted attention. Recording using this phase change optical disc
The principle of reproduction will be briefly described below. A phase-change optical disk records and reproduces information by heating the recording thin film on a substrate by irradiating a laser beam and raising the temperature, causing a crystallographic phase change (amorphous to crystalline) in the structure of the recording thin film. More specifically, information is reproduced by detecting a change in reflectance caused by a change in an optical constant between phases.

The above-mentioned phase change is performed by irradiating a laser beam having a diameter of about 1 to several μm. In this case, for example, when a laser beam of 1 μm passes at a linear velocity of 10 m / s, the time during which light is irradiated to a certain point on the optical disk is 100 ns, and the phase change and the reflectance are detected within this time. There is a need. In order to realize the above-mentioned crystallographic phase change, that is, a phase change between amorphous and crystalline, melting and quenching are performed not only on the phase change recording layer of the optical disc but also on the surrounding dielectric protective layer and the reflective film of aluminum alloy. It will be given repeatedly.

For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, a phase-change optical disk has a recording thin film layer 4 of Ge—Sb—Te system or the like.
Have a four-layer structure in which ZnS.SiO 2 -based high-melting point dielectric protective layers 3 and 5 are sandwiched on both sides, and an aluminum alloy reflective film 6 is further provided. Among these, the reflective layer 6 and the protective layers 3 and 5 are required to have an optical function capable of increasing the absorption between the amorphous part and the crystalline part and increasing the difference in reflectance. A function of preventing deformation due to heat and a function of controlling thermal conditions at the time of recording are required (see “Optics”, Vol. 26, No. 1, pages 9 to 15).
As described above, the protective layers 3 and 5 made of the high melting point dielectric have resistance to the repetitive heat stress caused by the temperature rise and the cooling, and furthermore, make sure that these thermal influences do not affect the reflection film and other parts. In addition, it is necessary that the material itself be thin, have low reflectivity, and be strong without deterioration. In this sense, the dielectric protective layer plays an important role. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a laser incident direction, reference numeral 2 denotes a substrate made of polycarbonate or the like, reference numeral 7 denotes an overcoat, and reference numeral 8 denotes an adhesive layer.

The above-mentioned dielectric protective layer is usually formed by a sputtering method. In this sputtering method, a target composed of a positive electrode and a negative electrode is opposed to each other,
A high voltage is applied between the substrate and the target in an inert gas atmosphere to generate an electric field. At this time, the ionized electrons collide with the inert gas to form plasma, and the plasma is formed. This is based on the principle that positive ions collide with the surface of a target (negative electrode) and strike out constituent atoms of the target, and the ejected atoms adhere to the opposing substrate surface to form a film.

[0006] In the step of forming a thin film by sputtering using a ZnS-SiO 2 target, if a certain amount or more is coated, cluster-like coarse particles called particles come to adhere to the thin film. These particles are spattered particles deposited by sputtering on the walls and various devices in the sputtering chamber, and when they exceed a certain amount, they come off and float in the sputtering chamber and re-apply to the substrate or thin film. The main cause is adhered matter. Since such particles significantly deteriorate the properties of the thin film, when a large amount of the particles are deposited on the substrate or the thin film, the sputtering is stopped once, the sputtering chamber is released, and the sputter chamber is released from walls and various devices. It was necessary to clean film deposits that caused particles. This significantly reduces productivity. The deposit of this film was expected to have a causal relationship in the manufacturing process of the ZnS-SiO 2 target, that is, in the stage of sintering the mixed powder of the SiO 2 powder and the ZnS powder, but a further solution has heretofore been found. Was not reached.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION ZnS and SiO 2, which are raw materials of a ZnS—SiO 2 sputtering target of the present invention, do not react at 1000 ° C. or lower, and ZnS itself does not react at 1100 ° C. or higher. Because it sublimates at temperature,
The ZnS—SiO 2 target manufactured by sintering can be said to be a dense body of a mixture. Conventionally, as described above, 20 to 30 μm SiO 2 powder has been used, and this has been sintered to obtain a ZnS—SiO 2 target. At this stage, it was not at all expected that the sintering conditions would cause the generation of particles. However, after mixing and sintering SiO 2 powder (preferably having an average particle size of 10 μm or less) and ZnS powder, the sintered body is further cooled by 1000 °.
By performing the heat treatment at a temperature equal to or higher than C (in particular, a temperature in the vicinity of 1100 ° C.), the generation of particles could be unexpectedly significantly reduced.

In the ZnS-SiO 2 sputtering target thus obtained, it was confirmed that the crystal phase of the target contained 0.1 to 10% of the α phase which was a high-temperature phase. The α phase, which is a high-temperature phase, is 0.1 to 10% in this crystal phase.
By producing the included target, generation of particles can be effectively suppressed. Although the reason why such sintering conditions or manufacturing conditions suppress the generation of particles is not always clear, the result is that the α phase, which is stable in the high-temperature phase with respect to the high-temperature plasma during sputtering, has high physical resistance. Conceivable. As described above, by reducing the generation of particles as much as possible, the number of times of interrupting or stopping sputtering is reduced, and the frequency of complicated sputtering chamber cleaning is reduced.
This has the effect that the production efficiency can be dramatically increased as compared with the conventional case. Further, the film formed by the ZnS—SiO 2 target of the present invention has an optical function of increasing the absorption between the amorphous part and the crystalline part and increasing the difference in the change in reflectance, the moisture resistance of the recording thin film and the deformation of the recording thin film due to heat. It has been found that a satisfactory and stable film with satisfactory reproducibility can be obtained with respect to the prevention function and the function of controlling thermal conditions during recording.
