Process for forming a master mold for optical storage disks

摘要

A method for forming a master mold for optical storage disks includes thermally growing an oxide or nitride layer on a semiconductor wafer. The thermally grown layer is then coated with a photoresist. The photoresist is exposed to a laser beam to form a data pattern and developed. The oxide or nitride under the developed pattern is etched and the photoresist stripped to provide a semiconductor master mold for optical disks.
