<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a phase change recording medium capable of performing recording higher in density than before, and to provide the high-density recording medium capable of recording/rewriting at high speed. <P>SOLUTION: The phase change recording medium, capable of reversibly recording or erasing using light, consists of a substrate, a recording film capable of reversibly changing atomic arrangement, a film having a crystallization promotion function contacting the recording film, a protective film or a dielectric film for protecting the recording film, and a reflective film to reflect the light. The element composing the recording film has segregation or concentration distribution from the part contacting the recording film toward the direction of thickness of the recording film or the in-plane direction of the recording film. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
