Abstract:
A model for exposing and developing photoresist using the reaction mechanism of physics and the chemistry of resist is built, and the micropatterns of recording marks on a stamper are calculated. Compared with our experimental results, the deviation of pit width in simulation is less than 8%. When the width of recording marks is varied by modulating laser power during exposure, a multilevel (ML) read-only disk can be achieved as a result of the corresponding readout signal. Experimental results show that an 8-level read-only optical disk can be realized. The model of mastering serves well for the development of novel ML disks in which the integration of conventional run-length deviations technologies can greatly increase recording density.
