In general, a resin substrate for an optical disc is produced by injection molding using a stamper so that it can be mass-produced while maintaining the above excellent characteristics. At this time, grooves and pits having a size of micron order are formed on the stamper, and these are transferred to the resin substrate for the optical disc.

This durability greatly depends not only on the injection molding conditions but also on the surface hardness of the stamper. The conventional method of manufacturing an optical disk stamper is performed, for example, by the following method.

When a master stamper is used to duplicate an optical disk stamper, the surface of the master stamper is cleaned by electrolytic degreasing and then a passivation release film is formed.

After the surface of the mother stamper is cleaned by electrolytic degreasing, passivation treatment is performed to form a release film on the mother stamper.When this nickel stamper is used as an electrode, the sun stamper has the same uneven pattern as the master stamper. (Hereinafter, a stamper duplicated from a mother stamper is called a sun stamper).

面研磨なしでしかも歩留まりの良好な光ディスク用スタ
ンパを製造するための電鋳方法を提供することにある。In the copying method according to the above-mentioned conventional technique, since the back surface roughness of the stamper obtained by using the usual electroforming bath is large, back surface polishing is indispensable. Attempts have been made to add a brightening agent to an ordinary electroforming bath in order to reduce the back surface roughness. However,
Since a spiral pattern corresponding to the rotation of the cathode during electroforming appears on the back surface of the stamper (mother stamper or sun stamper) duplicated in a so-called gloss bath to which a brightener is added, in order to eliminate this spiral pattern and obtain flatness. Back polishing was required. If this back surface polishing step can be omitted, the stamper manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced, which is extremely advantageous in manufacturing. An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide an electroforming method for manufacturing an optical disk stamper which does not require back surface polishing and has a good yield.

とする光ディスク用スタンパの製造方法に存する。As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the inventors of the present invention have optimized the number of rotations of the cathode when duplicating an optical disk stamper by electroforming. As a result, it was found that a stamper which has a uniform and small back surface roughness by eliminating the spiral pattern on the back surface and which can be sufficiently used without polishing the back surface, has completed the present invention. That is, the gist of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a nickel stamper by electroplating from a master stamper or a mother stamper on which uneven signals or grooves are formed. In an electrolytic solution containing an aliphatic diol having a carbon-carbon double bond or a triple bond as a brightening agent, the side supplying nickel ions is the anode, the stamper is the cathode, and the cathode is 75-min.
The present invention resides in a method of manufacturing a stamper for an optical disk, which is characterized in that electroforming is performed while rotating in a range of 180 rotations.

The seal member 3 has a ring shape conforming to the shape of the outer periphery of the master stamper 2, and seal members 5 and 6 made of a flexible material are annularly provided on the surface thereof. The flexible seal members 5 and 6 are provided on the inner surface of the outer periphery of the master stamper 2 and the outer surface of the base 1 of the outer periphery of the master stamper 2 when the seal member 3 is pressed against the master stamper 2. It is set as the contact position.

The positioning pin 7 provided so as to project from the surface of the base 1 is combined with the pin receiving hole 8 formed in the seal member 3 to make the position accurate. The fixing member 4 is attached to the base 1 by screwing or the like, and serves to press the sealing member 3 (flexible sealing materials 5 and 6) against the surfaces of the master stamper 2 and the base 1.

Fluorine rubber, silicone rubber or the like is usually used for 6.
In this way, the outer peripheral portion of the master stamper 2 is fixed in a hermetically sealed state, placed in a plating bath and rotated by the rotating shaft 9, so that electroforming (electroplating) is performed, and usually a nickel film is formed.

態)としても良いことは勿論である。At this time, since the outer peripheral portion of the master stamper 2 is hermetically sealed and the plating solution does not reach this portion, no nickel film is deposited on the outer peripheral portion of the master stamper. After plating, the nickel film deposited from the master stamper 2 is peeled off and used as a mother or a sun stamper. Further, the master stamper is washed and used again as the master stamper 2, but at this time, since an extra nickel film or the like is not attached to the outer peripheral portion of the master stamper 2, cleaning and regeneration can be efficiently performed. In the above description, the structure in which the flexible sealing materials 5 and 6 are doubly provided on the surface of the sealing member 3 has been explained, but one flexible sealing material having a wide width is provided to cover the outer peripheral portion of the master stamper 2. Needless to say, the cover may be in a watertight state (sealed state).

ンパ裏面の平滑度が極めて向上する。The method of the present invention uses a specific brightener,
Moreover, by setting the number of revolutions of the cathode during electroforming to a specific range, the centrifugal force of the cathode rotation and the action of controlling the precipitation of the brightener cause the nickel precipitation particles to draw a parabolic arc outward from the center of the rotation surface. While depositing, it prevents the appearance of a spiral pattern on the back surface. That is, for example, nickel sulfamate, nickel chloride, and boric acid are used as an electroforming bath composition, and a brightening agent is mixed therein. An electrode basket for supplying nickel ions is used as an anode and a stamper is used as a cathode. The cathode has a rotating mechanism, and electroforming is performed while rotating the rotating speed in the range of 75 rpm to 180 rpm. In this way, the smoothness of the back surface of the stamper is significantly improved by the brightener and the specific rotation speed.

The back surface roughness of the stamper obtained by the method of the present invention is Ra of 0.
The back surface roughness is not more than 05 μm and Rmax is not more than 1.0 μm, and the back surface roughness is a value equal to or less than that of the back surface polished product, and can be suitably used as it is. Further, since the back surface polishing is usually a mechanical method using abrasive tape loose abrasive grains, the polishing surface lacks uniformity, but the stamper manufactured by the method of the present invention has a very uniform mechanical method as described above. It is good because it is not. Further, the thickness distribution of the stamper for an optical disc is strictly controlled and normally controlled within a range of ± 5 μm with respect to the thickness of 0.3 mm, but the film thickness distribution of the stamper manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention is The film thickness distribution is 3% or less without polishing the back surface, which is extremely good. Further, the backside hardness of the stamper manufactured by the method of the present invention is 250 or more in Hv,
This is considered to be the result of the crystal structure of the electrodeposited film being densified due to the effect of the brightener added to the electroforming bath, and is considered to have a favorable effect on the stamper life.
