Abstract

Optical Discs are currently finding new mass applications in computing, web usage and entertainment. In only 5 years the CD-R consumption has grown from basically zero to over billion discs this year; the video DVD is very successful in the US and now starting in other regions; video recording on disc is on the horizon. Thin film deposition is among the key production technologies for the production of all of these formats. While in established fields such as CD-R production the emphasis is on productivity, other formats from DVD-9, SACD or the higher density rewritable formats require innovation in materials and process technology. This paper takes a closer look at these challenges for the different formats and discusses the current status of thin film processing of Optical Disc formats.
