Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit easy formation of a recording layer consisting of an org. metal complex having light absorptivity by first forming a thin metallic film on a transparent substrate, then bringing an org. acceptor type compd. having complex formability into reaction therewith. CONSTITUTION:The thin metallic film is formed by a vacuum deposition method or sputtering method on the transparent substrate. This metallic film and a soln. contg. the org. acceptor type compd. having the complex formability are brought into reaction with each other, by which the optical recording layer is formed. Since there is no need for using the hardly soluble org. metal complex as a raw material, the homogeneous recording layer can be formed at a low cost. Since a binder polymer is not needed, the reflectivity of the recording layer is high and the SN is improved. The recording layer having the better film quality than in the case of coating the org. metal complex directly on the substrate by using a spin coating method or the like is thereby prepd. Since the reaction solvent is required to have a relatively small polarity, the use of the solvent by selecting the solvent which does not attack the substrate surface is possible.

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method of recording using a laser beam that performs recording by pit formation or phase change by irradiating a recording layer containing an organometallic complex provided on a transparent substrate with a laser beam.

[Prior art] Digital optical recording is performed using pit formation and phase change caused by laser light irradiation, but when metal or other thermally conductive materials are used as the recording layer, laser light irradiation Since the heat applied to the recording layer is transmitted to the surrounding area, a large amount of energy must be applied to achieve sufficient heating.

On the other hand, such a problem of thermal diffusion can be solved by using an organic metal complex having a large absorption band in the oscillation wavelength range of the semiconductor laser as the recording layer. However, unlike simple metals, organometallic complexes are difficult to form into thin films using dry processes such as vacuum evaporation. However, when producing a recording layer made of an organometallic complex, the organometallic complex must be dissolved in a solvent and then applied onto a substrate using a method such as a spin code.

However, since organometallic complexes are not necessarily highly soluble, it is difficult to coat them thickly on a substrate. Therefore, it is possible to add a polymer to the coating solution to increase the viscosity and coat the substrate thickly, but in this case, the absorbance per unit volume decreases, so the reflectance on the surface of the recording layer also decreases. , tracking during recording and reading becomes difficult, and the signal-to-noise ratio also decreases. Here, the SN ratio is
This refers to the ratio between the deterioration of reflected light intensity before and after recording and the noise intensity.
