Benefits of technology

[0015] As described in the foregoing, the Al-alloy capable of coping with laser marking needs to have low thermal conductivity, low melting temperature, and high corrosion resistance.
[0017] The present invention has been developed by focusing attention on those circumstances, and it is therefore an object of the invention to provide an aluminum-alloy reflection film for optical information-recording, having low thermal conductivity, low melting temperature, and high corrosion resistance, and capable of coping with laser marking, an optical information-recording medium provided with the aluminum-alloy reflection film, and an aluminum-alloy sputtering target for formation of the aluminum-alloy reflection film.
[0037] The aluminum-alloy reflection film for optical information-recording according to the present invention can have low thermal conductivity, low melting temperature, and high corrosion resistance, and can be suitably used as a reflection film for optical information-recording, capable of coping with laser marking. The optical information-recording medium according to the present invention comprises the aluminum-alloy reflection film described, and laser marking can be suitably applied thereto. The aluminum-alloy sputtering target for formation of an aluminum-alloy reflection film for optical information-recording, according to the present invention, can form the aluminum-alloy reflection film described.

Problems solved by technology

However, the Al-alloys of JIS6061 series for use as a reflection film of an optical disc for reproducing only are high in thermal conductivity, and low in corrosion resistance, and have difficulty in coping with laser marking applications in respect of these points.
Further, in the field of the Al alloy reflection film for the opto-magnetic recording, the Al-alloy reflection films (as disclosed in Patent documents 1 to 3) so far proposed have difficulty in coping with the laser marking applications as described above.

working examples

[0061] Working examples, and comparative examples of the present invention will be described hereinafter. Although the invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, and that various changes and modifications may be made in the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. It is therefore intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications as fall within the spirit and scope of invention.

working example 1

[0062] An Al—Nd (an Al alloy containing Nd) thin film, and an Al—Y (an Al alloy containing Y) thin film were fabricated, having examined relationships of respective addition amounts (respective contents) of Nd, Y, with the melting temperature, thermal conductivity, reflectance of the respective thin films, and BCA (Burst Cutting Area) marking property, respectively.

[0063] The thin films were fabricated as follows. More specifically, the Al—Nd thin film, or the Al—Y thin film was fabricated (formed) on a glass substrate (Corning #1737, substrate size; 50 mm in diameter, 1 mm in thickness) by DC magnetron sputtering. At this point in time, there were adopted film forming conditions of substrate temperature: 22° C., Ar gas pressure: 2 mTorr, film forming rate: 2 mm / sec, and back pressure: −6 Torr. For a sputtering target, use was made of an aluminum-alloy sputtering target of the same composition as that for the Al alloy thin film that is to be obtained.
