Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an optical information medium such as a read-only optical disk and an optical recording disk, and an optical information medium.
- optical recording media such as read-only optical discs and optical recording discs have to record or store a huge amount of information such as moving picture information.
- R & D for recording density has been actively conducted.
- One of them is to reduce the recording / reproducing wavelength and increase the numerical aperture (NA) of the objective lens of the recording / reproducing optical system, as seen in DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), for example. It has been proposed to reduce the laser beam spot diameter during reproduction. Compared with DVDs and CDs, by changing the recording / playback wavelength from 780 nm to 65 O nm and changing the NA from 0.45 to 0.6, the recording capacity (6 to 8 times) .7 GBZ surface).
- NA numerical aperture
- the tilt margin is the tolerance of the tilt of the optical recording medium with respect to the optical system, and is determined by NA. Assuming that the recording / reproducing wavelength is, and the thickness of the transparent substrate on which the recording / reproducing light is incident is d, the tilt margin is
- the thickness d of the substrate may be reduced.
- the tilt margin is secured by making the thickness of the substrate about half (about 0.6 mm) the thickness of the CD substrate (about 1.2 mm).
- This structure uses a normal-thick substrate as a supporting substrate for maintaining rigidity, forms pits and recording layers on its surface, and then forms a thin substrate on top of which is a light-transmitting layer with a thickness of about 0.1 sq.m.
- the recording / reproducing light is made incident through the light transmitting layer.
- the substrate can be made much thinner than before, and high recording density can be achieved by increasing NA.
- a medium having such a structure is described in, for example, JP-A-10-320859 and JP-A-11-120613.
- an objective lens having a large numerical aperture NA for example, having a NA of about 0.85 can be used.
- a spin coating method As a method for forming the light transmitting layer having a thickness of about 0.1 mm, for example, a spin coating method can be mentioned.
- a resin layer is formed by supplying a resin to the surface of a disk substrate fixed to a rotary table, rotating the disk substrate, and spreading the resin by centrifugal force.
- This resin does not need to be heated for curing, and it is general to use an active energy ray-curable resin such as an ultraviolet-curable resin having a high curing speed.
- the resin When the resin is spread by the centrifugal force as described above, the resin tends to be biased on the outer peripheral portion of the disk substrate, and as a result, the resin layer is likely to be raised.
- the force is usually After the rotation of the disk substrate is stopped, the substrate is cured by irradiating active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays, so that after the rotation is stopped, the resin rises due to surface tension near the outer peripheral edge of the disk substrate, and the resin easily returns to the inner peripheral side. As a result, a rather wide raised portion is formed near the outer periphery of the disk substrate.
- the area where such ridges exist cannot be used as a recording area, and especially the outer periphery of the disk substrate has a large area per unit length in the radial direction, which greatly affects the recording capacity of the medium. . Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the formation of the protruding portion and the force for reducing the width of the protruding portion near the outer peripheral portion of the disk substrate.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-186355 a proposal has been made to remove a raised portion formed on the outer peripheral edge of the light transmitting layer by a trimming process using a diamond grindstone.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-186356 proposes a method of removing a raised portion formed on an outer peripheral edge of a light transmitting layer by a cutting process or a press cutting process.
- a method of removing a raised portion formed on an outer peripheral edge of a light transmitting layer by a cutting process or a press cutting process is troublesome, and may cause burrs and adhesion of dust to adversely affect the characteristics of the optical disk.
- an ultraviolet curable resin is applied to a rotating substrate, and then the outer peripheral portion is raised by irradiating ultraviolet rays with the substrate rotating at a lower speed. It has been proposed to form a light transmitting layer having a small diameter.
- a UV curable resin is dropped on a stationary substrate, a glass plate is placed on the resin. Then, it has been proposed to rotate the substrate to stretch the resin, and further, irradiate ultraviolet rays while rotating to reduce the protrusion of the light transmitting layer.
- the publication also proposes that the substrate is cut in advance so that the cross section of the outer peripheral portion of the substrate becomes wedge-shaped, so that the protrusion of the outer peripheral portion of the light transmitting layer is reduced.
- the same publication discloses that before applying an ultraviolet-curing resin, only the outer peripheral portion of the substrate is irradiated with short-wavelength ultraviolet rays to improve the wettability of the resin. Proposals have also been made to reduce the protrusion at the outer periphery of the layer.
- the same publication states that after the ultraviolet curable resin is stretched by rotating the substrate, the substrate is rotated at a higher speed so that the excess resin gathered at the outermost peripheral edge of the substrate is shaken off, and then ultraviolet light is irradiated.
- the resin be cured to reduce the protrusion on the outer periphery of the light transmitting layer.
- the same publication discloses that after the ultraviolet curable resin is stretched by rotating the substrate, only the inner peripheral portion of the substrate is irradiated with ultraviolet light to cure the resin in that region, and then the substrate is rotated at a higher speed. It has been proposed that excess resin collected at the outermost edge of the substrate is shaken off, and then the resin is cured by irradiating ultraviolet rays to reduce the protrusion on the outer peripheral portion of the light transmitting layer.
- the publication discloses that a light-transmitting layer is formed after the diameter of an object to be coated is enlarged by inserting a substrate into a ring-shaped member, and then the ring-shaped member is formed on the light-transmitting layer formed thereon. It has been proposed to obtain a smooth light-transmitting layer by removing it together with the ridge. Further, in the publication, a substrate having a diameter larger than usual is used, and after forming a light transmitting layer having a raised portion on the outer peripheral portion, the substrate outer peripheral portion is cut together with the raised portion to obtain a smooth light transmission. Proposals have also been made to gain layers.
- the publication states that after the ultraviolet curable resin is stretched, excess resin on the outer periphery of the substrate is wiped off with a cloth or the like, suctioned with a vacuum pump, blown off with a nitrogen blow, and then irradiated with ultraviolet light. It has also been proposed to reduce the protrusion on the outer periphery of the light transmitting layer by hardening the resin by using a resin.
- the signal recording area becomes narrower and the following problems also occur.
- the raised part is thick, the shrinkage due to hardening is large. Therefore, in the outer peripheral portion of the disk, the warpage becomes larger, and the surface runout becomes larger.
- the light transmitting layer When the light transmitting layer is cured, the medium is warped, and the amount of the warp increases as the medium is closer to the outer peripheral edge.
- the resin layer when the conventional spin coating method is used, the resin layer gradually becomes thicker from the inner peripheral portion to the outer peripheral portion of the disk. If the resin layer is thick, the tilt magazine becomes smaller as described above. Therefore, there is a problem that the tilt margin becomes small in the outer peripheral portion where the tilt is large.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an optical information medium having an information recording area on a surface of a supporting substrate, a light transmitting layer on the information recording area, and a recording or reproducing laser beam being irradiated through the light transmitting layer.
- a prominence at the outer peripheral portion of the light transmitting layer is suppressed by using a simple method.
- a method of manufacturing an optical information medium used to receive light comprising:
- a coating liquid containing an active energy ray-curable resin was supplied to the support substrate provided with the information recording area, and the support substrate was rotated to form a resin layer by spreading the coating liquid on the support substrate. Thereafter, a method for producing an optical information medium in which the resin layer is cured by irradiating active energy rays while lowering the rotation speed of the support base.
- the distance to the bottom of the recess measured in the thickness direction of the light transmitting layer is defined as, and the bottom of the recess measured in the thickness direction of the light transmitting layer.
- an annular information recording area and a resin-containing annular light transmitting layer are arranged in this order.
- An optical information medium in which the thickness of the light transmitting layer does not increase at least on the information recording area from the inner peripheral portion to the outer peripheral portion.
- the coating liquid containing the active energy ray-curable resin is supplied to rotate the support base, thereby spreading the coating liquid on the support base to form a resin layer, and then rotating the support base. Irradiation with active energy rays is performed at a reduced speed.
- the present invention is different from the conventional one in that the force s is the same as that of the conventional spin coating method until the application liquid is spread to form the resin layer, and the resin layer is cured when the supporting substrate is decelerated. As a result, a region protruding from the resin layer surface on the inner peripheral side of the outer peripheral portion of the resin layer does not exist. Therefore, warpage and surface runout do not increase in the outer peripheral portion of the medium.
- the resin supplied to the center of the supporting substrate or in the vicinity thereof is spread by centrifugal force generated by rotation of the supporting substrate. Therefore, during the spreading, the supporting base is rotated at a relatively high speed.
- the active energy beam is irradiated while the rotation speed of the supporting base is kept the same as that at the time of spreading, the bulge on the outer peripheral part is reduced, but the resin that has started to harden moves on the supporting base. Unevenness occurs in the cured resin layer. The unevenness deteriorates electrical characteristics such as jitter.
- the active energy ray is irradiated while shaking off the resin, the icicle-shaped resin hardens in a state of extending radially from the outer peripheral edge of the support base.
- the active energy ray is irradiated in the process of lowering the rotation of the supporting base. Therefore, the resin that has started to cure does not move, and the resin layer existing on the information recording area does not have unevenness that affects recording and reproduction.
- an icicle-shaped resin extending outward from the outer peripheral edge of the support base is not formed.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-210-324 describes a method of applying an ultraviolet-curable resin on a rotating substrate and then irradiating ultraviolet rays with the substrate rotating at a lower speed. Have been.
- This method is similar to the present invention in that it cures the resin at a lower rotational speed than during spreading.
- the number of revolutions is controlled stepwise during spreading and during curing. That is, according to the publication, when the rotation speed at the time of spreading is about 100 O rpm or less, ultraviolet rays are irradiated at a rotation speed of about 40 to 50% of the rotation speed, and the rotation speed at the time of spreading is reduced.
- the active energy ray is irradiated while gradually lowering the rotation of the support base, the centrifugal force acting on the resin layer is smoothly reduced. Therefore, the resin layer is not cured in a state where the resin layer is uneven.
- the light transmitting layer 1 can have a uniform thickness at least on the information recording area of the information recording layer 104, and FIG. As shown, at least on the information recording area, the thickness of the light transmitting layer 1 at the outer peripheral portion can be smaller than that at the inner peripheral portion. Therefore, the chinoret margin does not decrease in the outer peripheral portion of the medium.
- a surface made of a resin having a high hardness is formed on the inner layer 1 i made of the resin layer formed and cured by the above-described procedure.
- the layer 1 s may be laminated, and the laminated body may be used as the light transmitting layer 1.
- the thickness of the surface layer 1 s is greater at the outer peripheral portion than at the inner peripheral portion.
- the light transmitting layer 1 composed of the inner layer 1 i and the surface layer 1 s is made to be substantially uniform at least on the information recording area. Thickness.
- the wavefront aberration correction is optimized for a light transmitting layer having a specific thickness. Therefore, on the information recording area! As a result, if the difference between the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness of the light transmitting layer is large, the wavefront aberration becomes larger than the allowable range. Therefore, the above difference is preferably 8 ⁇ or less.
- the active energy ray is irradiated such that the outer peripheral edge of the active energy ray irradiation range substantially coincides with the outer peripheral edge of the support base.
- the active energy rays are irradiated to a range exceeding the outer peripheral edge of the support base.
- excess resin is shaken off beyond the outer peripheral edge of the support base.
- the resin that has been shaken off is also cured, and the resin that has been shaken off may be cured in a state of extending in an ice column shape from the outer peripheral edge of the support base. . Therefore, it is necessary to remove the icicle-shaped resin in order to commercialize the product, which increases the number of processes.
- the active energy ray is selectively irradiated so that the outer peripheral edge of the irradiation range substantially coincides with the outer peripheral edge of the supporting substrate, the resin that has been shaken off is cured in a state of extending in an ice column shape from the outer peripheral edge of the substrate.
- the resin layer is cured by irradiating active energy rays while decelerating the rotation of the supporting base, so that the resin moves on the information recording area during curing. I will not do it.
- the resin easily flows toward the outer peripheral edge of the support base.
- the resin is hardly cured in the outer peripheral portion, so that the flow is particularly likely to occur. Therefore, depending on the rotation speed control pattern of the supporting base during curing and the energy distribution of the active energy on the resin layer surface, the outermost periphery of the light transmitting layer 1 surface has the profile shown in Fig. 11. May have.
- the surface of the light transmitting layer 1 has a profile that falls relatively sharply from a position outside the outer peripheral edge of the information recording area to the outer peripheral edge of the light transmitting layer 1, and the depression 11 is present.
- the resin that has not been shaken back returns due to surface tension a slight bulge is generated further on the outer peripheral side than the dent 11, and a minute ridge 12 shown in the figure is formed.
- the resin layer is cured before the rotation of the support base is stopped, the height of the protrusion due to the return of the resin is smaller than that of the conventional spin coating method in which the resin layer is cured after the rotation is stopped. Lower.
- the position of the top of the minute protrusion 12 can be set at the same height as or below the surface of the light transmitting layer 1 on the inner peripheral side (on the information recording area) of the minute protrusion 12. Therefore, it does not collide with the optical pickup of the micro-protrusion medium drive device.
- the information recording area is a part of the information recording layer 104, and the outer peripheral edge of the information recording area is located on the inner side (left side in the figure) of the outer peripheral edge of the information recording layer 104. is there.
- the radius of the information recording layer 104 is r ⁇
- the radius of the information recording area is r 2 .
- the radius of the light transmitting layer 1 is larger than the radius of the supporting substrate 120, and the light transmitting layer 1 protrudes from the supporting substrate 120.
- Layer 1 half The diameter may be smaller than the radius of the support substrate 120.
- the warpage and the runout in the outer peripheral portion are smaller than those in the case where the conventional ridge is present, and the warp and the runout are smaller than in the case where the conventional ridge is removed by grinding or the like. Become.
- the position of the top of the minute protrusion 12 is the light transmitting layer 1 on the inner side (on the information recording area) of the minute protrusion 12. It may be above the surface. Even if the micro-protrusions 12 are formed in such a manner by controlling the conditions for forming the light-transmitting layer, the size of the micro-protrusions 12 themselves does not increase as long as the present invention is applied. It does not grow.
- the surface layer 1 s is formed of an active energy ray-curable resin having a relatively high hardness. It consists of. Resins with high hardness often have problems with optical properties such as birefringence, and generally have a large effect on the mechanical accuracy of the medium. In order to reduce such optical and mechanical effects, the thickness of the surface layer 1 s may be reduced to several micrometers.
- the thin surface layer 1 s is formed by the spin coating method, it is necessary to lower the viscosity of the coating solution, so that a coating film is generally formed using a solvent-dilutable resin. However, many of the solvents contained in the solvent-dilutable resin invade the support substrate 120 made of a resin such as polycarbonate. for that reason, The solvent-dilutable resin that can be used is limited, which is not preferable in terms of design flexibility.
- the present invention when the present invention is applied when the inner layer 1 i is formed by the spin coating method, the depression 11 and the minute protrusion 12 are formed near the outer peripheral edge of the inner layer 1 i.
- the coated solvent-dilutable resin flows along the surface profile of the inner layer 1 i.
- it flies obliquely upward from the micro ridge 12. That is, the micro ridges 12 function as jumping platforms for the solvent-diluted resin to be shaken off.
- the solvent-diluted resin that has been shaken off does not adhere to the side surface of the support base 120, erosion of the support base 120 can be avoided.
- the surface layer 1 s Since the surface layer 1 s is thin, the surface profile at the outermost peripheral portion of the inner layer 1 i is preserved even after the formation of the surface layer 1 s. Therefore, even in the light-transmitting layer having the two-layer structure, the surface profile of the light-transmitting layer once falls from the position outside the information recording area to the outer periphery of the light-transmitting layer, and then rises.
- the present invention may be applied to the formation of the surface layer 1 s. However, the surface layer 1 s is thin.
- a solvent-dilutable resin is often used as described above. When the solvent evaporates, the viscosity becomes extremely high, so that the resin does not easily return due to surface tension. Therefore, it is not necessary to apply the present invention when forming the surface layer 1 s.
- At the time of forming the resin layer on the support substrate at the time of forming the resin layer on the support substrate, at least a part of the coating solution protruding from the outer peripheral edge of the support substrate is scraped off, and then the active energy is irradiated.
- This shaving is preferably performed, for example, as shown in FIG. 4B.
- the coating liquid is spread on the disk substrate 100 including the supporting substrate, and after the excess coating liquid is shaken off from the disk substrate 100, the outer peripheral side surface of the disk substrate 100 is scraped off. Approach the outer periphery of the disk substrate 100 With the distance maintained, the rotation of the disk substrate 100 is continued.
- the amount of the coating liquid protruding from the outer peripheral edge of the disk substrate 100 is made uniform over the entire circumference of the disk substrate 100. Therefore, the dimensions of the depression 11 and the minute protrusion 12 formed on the outer peripheral edge of the disk substrate 100 can be made uniform over the entire area in the circumferential direction.

That is, for example, the present invention can be applied to a phase change recording medium, a pit formation type recording medium, and a magneto-optical recording medium. Normally, a dielectric layer or a reflective layer is provided on at least one side of the recording layer for the purpose of protecting the recording layer or providing an optical effect, but is not shown in FIG. Further, the present invention is not limited to the recordable type as shown in the figure, but is also applicable to a read-only type. In that case, the reflective layer covering the pit array formed integrally with the support base 120 constitutes the information recording layer. The entire information recording layer is not used for information recording. In a disk-shaped medium, an annular information recording layer is formed, and the annular area excluding the innermost and outermost portions is used as an information recording area.
- the disk substrate 100 is placed on the turntable 2.
- This disk substrate 100 is a support base provided with an information recording layer, and has a center hole 101.

It is known that the thickness of a coating film is theoretically proportional to the square root of the viscosity of the coating solution when the same conditions other than the viscosity of the coating solution are used in the spin coating method. On the other hand, the higher the number of rotations and the longer the rotation time, the thinner the coating film becomes. Therefore, the number of rotations and the rotation time during spin coating may be appropriately determined according to the thickness of the resin layer 51 to be formed and the viscosity of the coating solution.

If the scraping means 200 is brought close to the outer peripheral side of the disk substrate 100 from the start of the spreading, the coating liquid that has hit the scraping means 200 and rebounded onto the disk substrate 100 surface. This may cause the surface property of the resin layer 51 to deteriorate. Therefore, it is preferable that the scraping means 200 approach the outer peripheral side surface of the disk substrate after the excess coating liquid is shaken off from above the disk substrate 100. It is preferable that at least a portion of the scraping means 200 to be brought close to the outer peripheral side surface of the disk substrate 100 has a thin plate shape like a knife blade.
- the distance between the scraping means 200 and the outer peripheral side surface of the disk substrate 100 when scraping the coating liquid is as long as possible as long as the rotation of the disk substrate 100 is not hindered by the contact with the scraping means 200. It is preferably small, and both may be substantially in contact with each other.
- the constituent material of the scraping means 200 is not particularly limited, and may be any of metal, resin, ceramics, and the like, and may be a composite material using two or more of these.
- the resin layer 51 is irradiated with ultraviolet rays as shown in FIG. 5 while gradually reducing the rotation speed of the disk substrate 100, as shown in FIG. To cure.
- the scraping means 200 is used as shown in FIG. 4B, since a part of the shaved coating liquid adheres to the scraping means 200, ultraviolet rays are irradiated there. Then it hardens. Therefore, it is preferable to remove the scraping means 200 from the outer peripheral side surface of the support base 100 before the ultraviolet irradiation.
- the time (deceleration time) from when the rotation of the disk substrate 100 starts to decrease until it stops rotating is preferably 0.1 to 3.0 seconds, more preferably 0.1 to 2.0 seconds. is there. If the deceleration time is too short, the effect of the viscosity of the resin increases, and as a result, the resin to be shaken off at the outer peripheral portion of the resin layer cannot be shaken off, so that the curing is easily completed in a state where the protrusion is present at the outer peripheral portion. On the other hand, if the deceleration time is too long, the resin being cured flows due to centrifugal force, and the curing is completed with the resin layer being uneven.
- the ultraviolet irradiation be started from the start of the i-th speed until 30% of the deceleration time has elapsed, and should be continued at least until 80% of the deceleration time has elapsed. If the start of irradiation is delayed, the resin layer tends to rise on the outer peripheral side. Also, if the start of irradiation is delayed, the resin does not cure to a relatively low rotation range, and as a result, the centrifugal force is weakened in a state where the resin is not cured, so that the depression formed near the outer peripheral edge of the resin layer 11 is likely to be shallow, and the micro ridges 12 are likely to be large.
- the timing of stopping the ultraviolet irradiation is too early, the curing is likely to be completed in a state where the curing is insufficient and the resin layer is uneven.
- the ultraviolet irradiation may be continued until and after the rotation is stopped, but if the irradiation is continued for a long time, the resin that has been shaken off from the surface of the disk substrate 100 and dropped or scattered around may be removed. They harden and are difficult to remove. Therefore, it is preferable to stop irradiation after the resin layer has hardened to the extent that it does not flow! ,.
- the reduction profile of the rotation speed of the disk substrate 100 is not particularly limited, as long as the rotation speed reduction amount (deceleration rate) per unit time is constant or changes smoothly from the initial stage to the stoppage. . That is, the deceleration rate may be constant, may be gradually reduced or gradually increased, but is usually set to gradually increase.
- the resin scattered outward from the outer edge of the disk substrate 100 due to centrifugal force is cured in a state where the resin extends radially in an ice column shape. May be.
- the outer peripheral edge of the irradiation area is inside the outer peripheral edge of the disc substrate 100 and is present on the information recording area of the disc substrate 100, the boundary between the cured area and the uncured area becomes the information recording area. Will exist within. The boundaries are optically inhomogeneous and adversely affect recording and playback.
- the outer peripheral edge of the irradiation area substantially coincides with the outer peripheral edge of the disk substrate 100 (the outer peripheral edge of the support base), and the outer peripheral edge of the irradiation area is radially away from the outer peripheral edge of the information recording area. More preferably, it exists in a region sandwiched between a position outside by 0.3 mm and the outer peripheral edge of the disk substrate 100.
- the position of the outer peripheral edge of the information recording area is usually within 0.5 to 2 ram in the radial direction from the outer peripheral edge of the disk substrate 100.
- the closing means 3 exists on the inner peripheral portion of the disk substrate 1 • 0.
- the closing means 3 is demounted after the curing.
- the resin layer 51 is unfavorably formed with pallets on the inner peripheral edge thereof or scattered burrs. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable to irradiate ultraviolet rays except for the vicinity of the closing means 3 and then remove the closing means 3, and then to cure the entire resin layer 51 in a complete curing step described later. Thereby, the generation of the burrs can be prevented, and the light transmitting layer can be made uniform in the inner peripheral portion.
- the closing means 3 may be removed before the first ultraviolet irradiation. In this case, the thickness of the light transmitting layer is likely to be non-uniform in the inner peripheral portion, but generation of burrs can be prevented.
- the plane dimension of the disk substrate 100 should be set between the ultraviolet light source and the disk substrate 100. It is preferable to arrange a mask having a corresponding opening and irradiate the ultraviolet rays. Further, a method of irradiating ultraviolet rays by a projection exposure machine capable of precise pattern irradiation is also preferable. In addition, other than a projection exposure machine, an ultraviolet irradiation apparatus of a type that can selectively irradiate a specific area can be preferably used.
- Examples of such an apparatus include a spot UV irradiation apparatus and multilite manufactured by Shio Denki Co., Ltd.
- the spot UV irradiator it is possible to adjust the shape of the irradiation area by attaching a lens to the end of the optical fiber cutout, excluding the outer periphery and the inner periphery of the disk substrate 100.
- Area can be selectively irradiated. That is, if the irradiation area is rectangular and the irradiation is performed while rotating the disk substrate, the disk substrate surface can be irradiated in a ring shape.
- the above-mentioned multi-write the above-mentioned mask is preferably used together.
- the active energy ray to be irradiated has a relatively low energy density on the surface of the resin layer near the outer periphery. Since the curing speed is slow in the region where the energy density is low, the resin flows further outward in the vicinity of the outer periphery even after the curing in the vicinity of the inner periphery of the resin layer is almost completed. As a result, as mentioned above, Outside the information recording area, the surface of the light transmission layer relatively sharply drops, and a depression 11 is formed.
- the ratio of the energy density at the outer periphery to the energy density at the inner periphery may be determined experimentally as a preferable value.
- the above-described projection exposure apparatus is an irradiation unit having a substantially uniform energy distribution in the irradiation plane.
- the spot UV irradiation apparatus and the multilight described above are irradiation means whose energy density decreases from the center toward the periphery in the irradiation surface.
- the thickness of the light transmitting layer can be made substantially uniform from the inner peripheral portion to the outer peripheral portion, and the outer peripheral portion is formed to be thinner than the inner peripheral portion.
- the thickness distribution of the light transmitting layer from the inner peripheral portion to the outer peripheral portion can be changed by controlling spin coating conditions and curing conditions of the resin layer. For example, if it is desired to form a light-transmitting layer at the outer periphery thinner than the inner periphery, during spin coating, as shown in FIG. It is preferable to make it conical above. The higher the cone-shaped pool made of the coating liquid 5, that is, the steeper the slope of the conical side surface, the higher the reduction rate of the resin layer thickness in the radial direction.
- the thickness distribution profile of the resin layer can also be controlled by controlling the number of rotations of the support base and the time to stop (deceleration time) during resin spreading. Specifically, if the rotational speed during resin spreading is relatively high and the deceleration time is relatively long, the rate of decrease in the thickness of the resin layer in the radial direction will increase.
- a coating solution having a higher viscosity may be used.
- the closing means 3 is removed from the disk substrate 100, and the disk substrate 100 is also removed from the turntable 2.

- the disk substrate 100 When irradiating ultraviolet rays in the complete curing step, the disk substrate 100 may be rotating or stationary. However, in order to uniformly cure the resin layer, it is preferable to irradiate ultraviolet rays while rotating the disk substrate 100.
- the rotation speed at this time is preferably 5 O rpm or more, but does not need to exceed 10% of the rotation speed during resin spreading.
- the complete curing step is provided, the resin layer is not completely cured, so if the number of rotations in the complete curing step is too high, the resin at the outer periphery may flow due to centrifugal force. Therefore, it is preferable that the number of rotations in the complete curing step does not exceed the number of rotations during resin spreading.
- the closing means 3 is useful for controlling the thickness distribution profile of the light transmitting layer, but has other advantages as described below. Since the disc substrate has a center hole that is used for loading the drive, resin cannot be supplied to the center of rotation (the center of the disc substrate), and it is annularly equidistant from the center of rotation. Will be supplied. However, the farther the resin supply position is from the rotation center, the thicker the outer peripheral portion of the light transmitting layer is likely to be.
- the center hole of the disc substrate is If the resin is supplied in the vicinity of the center of the closing means, that is, in the vicinity of the center of rotation, the thickness unevenness in the radial direction of the light transmitting layer can be reduced by closing with a closing means such as a member, a disk portion, a closing plate, and a cap. Can be.

That is, since the support shaft 32 can be gripped, the closing means 3 can be easily handled, and in particular, it is easy to remove the closing means 3 after spin coating. Therefore, when the closing means is separated from the disk substrate, disturbance is less likely to occur on the inner peripheral edge of the resin layer.

It is preferably larger than the diameter of the hole 101 by 4 mm or more, particularly preferably 8 ram or more. In addition, when the disk portion 31 is removed, the shape of the resin layer 51 in the vicinity thereof is likely to be disturbed. Therefore, the diameter of the disk portion 31 is at least three times smaller than the inner diameter of the information recording area. In particular, it is preferably smaller than 5 mm.

However, since the mechanical strength, durability and dimensional accuracy are good, it is preferable that the closing means is made of metal. As the metal, for example, a stainless alloy, aluminum, or aluminum alloy is preferable.
- the surface of the closing means 3, especially the entire surface of the disc portion 31, has a lower surface tension than the coating liquid. If the surface of the closing means 3 is not easily wetted by the coating liquid, it becomes easy to wash the coating liquid adhered to the surface of the closing means.
