摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a stamper for replicating a high density relief structure, the method comprising the steps of: providing a master substrate (10) comprising a substrate layer (12) and a recording stack overlying the substrate layer, the recording stack comprising a mask layer (14) and an interface layer (16) between the mask layer and the substrate layer, and the mask layer comprising a phase transition material, projecting a laser beam onto selected regions (20) of the mask layer, thereby inducing a heat-related phase transition for changing the properties of the selected regions of the mask layer with respect to chemical agents, applying a chemical agent to the mask layer for removing the selected regions of the mask layer, thereby uncovering regions (22) of the interface layer, and plasma etching the recording stack, thereby forming pits (24) in the uncovered regions of the interface layer. The present invention further relates to a stamper and an optical disc.
