Patent number: 6806030Abstract: In an optical disk for high density recording, for preventing the deformation of recording tracks caused by stress which may develop between the substrate and the recording stacked film formed thereon, a stress-compensation layer having a metal element such as Ti or Cr as a main component is provided. The stress-compensation layer undergoes contraction (tensile stress) to compensate for compression stress which develops in the stacked film during cooling after the thermal expansion of the substrate surface that occurs at the end of film formation. The stress-compensation layer has a pillar-like structure which, starting from the lower face, reaches the upper face of the film.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2001Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Maxell, Ltd.Inventors: Motoyasu Terao, Makoto Miyamoto, Yasushi Miyauchi, Keikichi Ando, Yumiko Anzai, Junko Ushiyama, Reiji Tamura, Yoshihiro Ikari, Tamotsu Fuchioka
