(Prior art) Metal thin films such as Te and Bi have traditionally been used as optical recording media in which holes (pits) are formed by irradiating a thin film formed on a substrate with a laser beam. There is. Furthermore, to increase stability over time, Te-based alloy thin films made of Te, Se, etc., and plasma polymerized films containing these metals are used. Since these materials have a low melting point, the power of the laser beam required for recording is small, and they are advantageous in terms of recording sensitivity.

In order to perforate a thin film using a laser beam in a system consisting of the substrate and a thin film recording medium, it is necessary that the film material melted by laser heating be separated by the adhesive force with the substrate. For this purpose, it has been considered to provide an undercoat layer made of a fluorocarbon thin film between the recording layer and the substrate (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-90246). The factors that determine the adhesion force between the substrate and the film material are the surface tension of the substrate surface and recording layer material, the molecular weight of the substrate surface layer, the degree of crosslinking, etc., but the smaller the adhesion force, the lower the laser beam power. can form pits in a short time. This means improved recording sensitivity,
This enables high-speed file recording and the use of inexpensive low-power semiconductor lasers. Furthermore, in order to perform high-quality recording, it is required that the formed pit shape have a clear outline and be uniform.

In order to meet the above requirements, the present inventors have already provided a fluorocarbon undercoat layer between the substrate and the recording layer, and a layer within 10 nm from the surface of the undercoat layer in contact with the recording layer. We have discovered an optical recording medium in which the atomic ratio of carbon to fluorine is 1.4 or more fluorine to 1 carbon, as measured by ESCA (soft X-ray excitation photoelectron spectroscopy). (Refer to Japanese Patent Application No. 60-298197 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-154343.) (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When the above-mentioned undercoat layer is applied to a recording medium made of a thin film containing Te, high sensitivity and high Although high-quality recording and playback is possible, the adhesion between the recording layer and the undercoat layer is weak, so it cannot be melted or regenerated by laser beam irradiation.
The amount of material removed is large, and the minimum pit size that can be formed is limited, creating obstacles to increasing storage density.

On the other hand, the atomic ratio of fluorine and carbon on the surface is carbon 1
On the other hand, an undercoat layer containing less than 1.4 fluorine atoms has the disadvantage that residues of the recording layer material remain in the pits, resulting in irregular pit shapes. However, since the adhesive force between the undercoat layer and the recording layer is strong, the pit size can be reduced, which is advantageous for high-density recording.

A chlorofluorocarbon thin film having the above composition can be produced by, for example, sputtering polychlorotrifluoroethylene or reacting polytetrafluoroethylene in a mixed gas of chlorofluorocarbon gas such as Freon 113 (CCl 2 F-CClF 2 ) and Ar gas. It can be obtained by chlorofluorocarbon plasma treatment on the surface of polytetrafluoroethylene sputtering film or sputtering film of polytetrafluoroethylene. Furthermore, it can also be obtained by plasma polymerization using chlorofluorocarbon gas as a monomer. The film thickness is usually about 20 to 1000 mm.

In the above chlorine-containing fluorocarbon thin film, the chlorine atoms terminate the bonds of carbon atoms in the same way as fluorine atoms, so crosslinking of the carbon atoms is inhibited, resulting in a structure with a low degree of crosslinking, and therefore the recording layer material It is thought that the resistance during melting and removal is reduced. On the other hand, since chlorine atoms have the effect of increasing the surface tension of polymers, contrary to fluorine atoms, the adhesion force itself becomes considerably large. actual
When the adhesion force between the Te-based recording layer and the undercoat layer of the present invention was measured by a simple peeling method, it was found that when the atomic ratio of fluorine and carbon is the same, the one containing chlorine atoms It was confirmed that the adhesion force was several times greater. If chlorine is contained in an amount greater than 15 atomic percent, the adhesion force will actually decrease. In the case of the present invention, it is sufficient that the composition of the surface of the undercoat layer in contact with the recording layer is as described above, and the composition of the entire undercoat layer does not have to be the above-mentioned composition.

The dependence of the C/N ratio on the recording power when formed is shown. Further, d in the figure shows the case where the recording layer was directly formed on the polycarbonate resin substrate without an undercoat layer. Furthermore, e in the same figure is
Reactive sputtering of polychlorotrifluoroethylene was performed in a mixed gas of Ar and Freon 113 to form a film containing 19 at% chlorine with a ratio of carbon and fluorine atoms of 1:0.85, which was used as an undercoat layer. This is the case.

In the case b where the atomic ratio of carbon to fluorine is high, and in the case e where the chlorine content is too high, the C/N ratio rapidly decreases as the recording power increases. this is,
As a result of SEM observation, it was found that this is because the pit size increases rapidly as the recording power increases. On the other hand, in the case of c and d, although the pit size is stable, there is a lot of residue in the pit and the contour of the pit is also disordered, so that only a low C/N ratio can be obtained as a whole.
