Near-field recording for small form factor optical disks
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 January 2007
Abstract
Small form factor optical disk (SFFOD) with a diameter of 27.4 mm was prepared for a mobile application. Near-field recording (NFR) technology with a flying optical head is applied to SFFOD for high density and small volume. A problem of contamination was observed at the head-disk interface (HDI) for first-surface recording. As a solution of the problem, a cover-layer was laminated onto the disk to move the focal plane into the media, which could solve the contamination problem. An edge bead free cover-layer could be coated with UV curable resin by using an outer-ring technique during the spin coating process. A diamond-like carbon (DLC) film and a lubricant film were coated on the disk to reduce the HDI problems.
