Abstract: A production method of multi-layer information record carriers that involves forming a signal duplication layer on a substrate that contains signals, then replacing a metallic stamping plate with the substrate that comprises the signal duplication layer for manufacturing a signal layer of high molecular materials. After the signal layer has been subjected to curing by exposure to ultra violet light, the signal layer is separated from the signal duplication layer because of the difference between the adhesive forces of the different materials. Multi-layer information record carriers can be manufactured by repeating the manufacturing process. Since the manufacturing process of the invention is simple and speedy, it facilitates the creation of automated facilities for mass production.

Abstract: A structure of an optical recording medium that mainly includes a first dielectric layer, a dye layer, a second dielectric layer, and a reflective layer formed on a substrate in sequence, and a method for fabricating an optical recording medium of the foregoing structure. The additional dielectric layers of the optical recording medium, instead of a quencher used in a conventional optical recording medium, increase the lifetime of a dye layer and reduce the fabrication cost. Furthermore, the additional dielectric layers are capable of isolating the dye layer from oxygen and moisture to enhance the lightfastness of the dye layer.
