Materials for Mastering and Replication Processes in Optical Video, Audio and Data Disc Production

  • Chapter
Polymers in Information Storage Technology

Abstract

The manufacturing processes and materials for the currently commercially available optical discs are described with emphasis on disc mastering. A distinction is made between optical discs addressing two different market segments:

  1. 1.

    High End: characterized by high demands on pit or groove definition, process control and overall quality (LaserVision, CompactDisc-Video and recordable data storage discs).

  2. 2.

    High Volume: characterized by large quantities of replica discs, faster turnaround times and larger tolerances in pit shapes and production processes (CompactDisc-Audio, CompactDisc-ROM (Read-Only-Memory)).
