Apparatus for manufacturing a substrate means for an optical recording disk

摘要

An apparatus for manufacturing a substrate of an optical recording disk having a transfer layer of uniform thickness. The apparatus forcibly deforms a portion of the substrate ranging from the center portion to an outer circumferential portion so as to provide a substantially conical-convex shape prior to the formation of the transfer layer. The apparatus forms the transfer layer onto a surface side of the conical-convex shape of the substrate.
