An information recording medium that is excellent in repeated-rewriting performance and is deteriorated less in crystallization sensitivity with time is provided, with respect to which high density recording can be carried out. A method of manufacturing the same also is provided. The information recording medium includes a substrate (11) and a recording layer (14) disposed above the substrate (11). The recording layer (14) contains, as constituent elements, Ge, Sb, Te, Sn, and at least one element M selected from Ag, Al, Cr, Mn, and N and is transformed in phase reversibly between a crystal phase and an amorphous phase by an irradiation of an energy beam. <IMAGE> |
