Method of forming mother for use in optical disc

摘要

A photoresist is applied onto a substrate, the photoresist-coated substrate is exposed to a laser beam of 300 nm or less in wavelength to form a latent image indicative of an information signal, and the photoresist on the substrate is developed to form a pit/groove pattern indicating the information signal. The photoresist has a mean value of 0.1 or less between extinction coefficients before and after the exposure to the laser beam.
