| 20090239022 | INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - The information recording medium of the present invention is provided with a substrate and an information layer including a recording layer. Rerecording and reproducing of information are performed by irradiating the information layer with a laser beam. The recording layer contains, as its main component, a material composed of Te, O, and M, where M denotes at least one element selected from Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au. In the material, the content of Te atom is 1 to 19 atom %, the content of O atom is 20 to 70 atom % (preferably 40 to 70 atom %), the content of M atom is 11 to 79 atom % (preferably 11 to 59 atom %, and more preferably more than 35 atom %). The material is, for example, is indicated as the region enclosed by A, B, C, and D, preferably by C, D, E, and F, and more preferably by E, F, H, and G, in the composition diagram of a ternary material of Te—O—Pd shown in FIG. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090258178 | INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM, ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD, AND SPUTTERING TARGET FOR FORMING INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM - A write-once information recording medium having a high recording sensitivity and reliability with respect to long-term storage is provided. The information recording medium has a recording layer on a substrate, to which information can be recorded and from which information can be reproduced by irradiating the recording layer with laser light or applying electrical energy to the recording layer. The recording layer contains, as its primary components, TeO | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090263613 | OPTICAL INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - An optical information recording medium that can simultaneously achieve both a high transmittance and high signal quality of an information layer, improve the reliability of long-term conservation, and reduce the manufacturing cost, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. To achieve this, according to the present invention, in an optical information recording medium comprising at least one information layer on a substrate, at least one of the information layers has a recording layer and a dielectric layer, the recording layer contains Te, O, and M (M is one or a plurality of elements selected from Au, Pd, and Pt) as major components, the dielectric layer has a thermal conductivity of 0.01 W/K·cm or more, and the dielectric layer has an extinction coefficient of 0 through 1.0 inclusive. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090290467 | MULTILAYER INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM - A multilayer information storage medium according to the present invention includes: a substrate; at least three information storage layers, which are stacked one upon the other on the substrate; a plurality of transparent layers, each of which is arranged between its associated adjacent ones of the information storage layers; and a transparent coating layer. At least two of the transparent layers have mutually different thicknesses. If a laser beam with a wavelength of 400 nm to 410 nm is incident perpendicularly on the medium through the transparent coating layer, two of the information storage layers that sandwich the thinnest one of the transparent layers have a higher returning light intensity and/or a higher degree of modulation than the other information storage layers. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100097914 | INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A low-cost information recording medium is provided by which good recording quality can be obtained even when high-density is made using a blue laser. The information recording medium on or from which information can be recorded and reproduced by irradiating the recording layer with laser beam is configured so that the content of O atoms is 20 atom % or more but 70 atom % or less, the content of M atoms is 1 atom % or more but 50 atom % or less and the content of Sb atoms is 10 atom % or more but 70 atom % or less when total number of the Sb atoms, the O atoms and the M atoms contained in the recording layer is 100 atom % and the recording layer does not contain Au, Pt and Pd. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100110871 | OPTICAL INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM - The recording/reproducing quality of a multilayer optical information recording medium deteriorate not only due to interference from other layers caused by light converging on other information layers but also due to stray light converging on the surface of a protective layer and stray light that does not converge on other information layers but rather returns to an optical head through the same optical path as the reproducing signal.
