Abstract: A polymeric material applicable for making a data-recording layer of a multi-layer recording medium in the process using a plastic stamper is provided. In the manufacturing process of multi-layer recording media, a plastic substrate carrying data signals is used as a stamper. The stamper includes a plastic substrate formed thereon a signal-carrying layer. The polymeric material is applied on the plastic stamper to form a data-recording layer. The polymeric material has good duplicating characteristics and has different adhesion to a metallic layer and a polymeric layer so that data-recording layer made by the polymeric material is easy to be peeled off from the stamper. The stamper is also reusable for several times so as to save manufacturing cost.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of cover layer of optical information storage media is disclosed. A plate and a substrate having a signal structure or recording layer are provided, a polymer resin is applied on the substrate. The plate is made to come in contact with the radiation-setting resin and then the radiation-setting resin is compressed against the substrate. The resulting structure is placed on a rotatable table and the rotatable is rotated. A radiation-setting resin layer with a uniform thickness is formed. The radiation-setting resin layer is illuminated by a UV light to harden the radiation-setting resin layer. Next, the plate is separed from the radiation-setting resin layer while the radiation-setting resin layer remain adhered to the substrate. The hardened radiation-setting resin layer serves as a cover layer.

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 multi-layer rewriteable information storage medium includes a substrate which is laminated with a plurality of information recording stacks to form a single side double information recording layers and double sides four information recording layers or more to greatly increase storage capacity. When reading or writing signals, laser beams of the optical pick-up head pass through replicated groove/land surfaces for tracking use to reach the information recording stacks. Hence tracking signals do not weaken when the thickness of the information recording stacks changes, and groove/land dimensions also may be maintained unchanged when the thickness of the information recording stacks changes. The laser beams can penetrate the substrate of a thickness from 0.1 mm to 1.2 mm to reach the information recording stacks. The storage medium of the invention can be used on existing optical disk drivers for reading or writing operations without a lot of structural changes.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a multi-layer optical information record carrier, which has a plurality of layers of reflecting surfaces with pits for recording information. According to the method, a reflective layer is first coated on a stamper with a pit pattern. A radiation-setting adhesive polymer resin is then applied on a substrate with another pit pattern and coated with a partial reflective layer. The substrate and the stamper are combined together and the resin is cured by ultraviolet light. After peeling off the stamper, two reflective layers are formed on the substrate. Finally, two of the substrates are adhered together using polymer resin and one obtains a multi-layer optical information record carrier with dual information layers on both sides.
