Aus hochstabiler, auf Silber basierter Legierung hergestellte reflektierende Schichten für eine beschreibbare Kompaktdisk

摘要

A writable compact disk has a plastic substrate, a recording layer, a reflecting layer, and a protective overcoat, the reflecting layer is comprised of a silver-palladium alloy, a silver-copper alloy, or a silver-palladium-copper alloy. By maintaining the palladium component of the alloy less that 15 at.% and the copper component of the alloy less than 30 at.%, the reflectance of the reflecting layer can be similar to the typical gold reflecting layer while jitter and NORP levels can be reduced for illumination power levels exceeding the power normally used to write on the recording layer.
