  • Phase-change optical recording medium
    Patent number: 7060338
    Abstract: A phase-change optical recording medium capable of performing recording and reproduction at a high speed is provided, in which a reproduced signal output is not only sufficiently large but the phase-change optical recording medium also has excellent repeated rewriting performance. An interface layer 3, which is composed of a Ge—Si—N-based material, is formed on at least a surface of one side of a recording layer 4 of the phase-change optical recording medium 10. Accordingly, even when a phase-change material having a high melting point, for example, a Bi—Ge—Te-based phase-change material is used for the recording layer 4, it is possible to provide the phase-change optical recording medium in which the reproduced signal output is sufficiently large and the repeated rewriting performance is excellent.
