PURPOSE:To enable the mass production of an optical recording medium having excellent optical recording characteristics with good reproducibility, by reacting a specific compound containing a desired metal with an active seed in a film forming space almost simultaneously with the evaporation of metal iodide in the film forming space. CONSTITUTION:A compound containing a metal M coming to the component of a formed optical recording layer represented by RnMn (wherein m and n are respectively equal to the valencies of R and M or positive integers being integer times said valencies, M is a metal element and R is hydrogen, halogen or a hydrocarbon group) introduced into a film forming space, the exciting seed thereof and an active seed introduced apart from said seed chemically perform interaction. Thus formed desired metal M is accumulated on a substrate along with the vapor of metal iodide almost simultaneously generated in an evaporation source 8. As a result, an optical recording layer wherein the metal M was uniformly dispersed in metal iodide is easily formed on th substrate 7. |
