Patent number: 6346309Abstract: The present invention provides an optical recording medium which is inhibited or prevented from sticking of lubricants onto a light emitting face of a solid immersion lens. The optical recording medium 10 of the present invention comprises a substrate 1 and, provided thereon in succession, a reflective layer 2, a recording layer 4, a protective layer 6 and a lubricating layer 7. The lubricating layer 7 is heated and/or irradiated with ultraviolet rays to adjust the lubricant bonding rate to at least 60%, thereby to reduce the amount of physical adsorptive lubricant contained in the lubricating layer 7. As a result, when recording and reproduction are carried out using a floating type optical head provided with a solid immersion lens, the lubricant hardly sticks to the light emitting face of the solid immersion lens. The lubricant bonding rate can be enhanced to 80% or more by rinsing the lubricating layer with a solvent after the heating and/or the irradiation with ultraviolet rays.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1999Date of Patent: February 12, 2002Assignee: Hitachi Maxell, Ltd.Inventor: Hideo Daimon
