Abstract

Abstract An optical disk comprises a polycarbonate substrate (11), a first protective layer (12) formed on the sub­strate (11) and made of SiO₂, a recording layer (13) formed on the first protective layer (12) and made of an In-Sb-Te alloy, a second protective layer (14), formed on the recording layer (13) and made of SiO₂, and a surface protective layer (15) formed on the second protective layer (14) and made of an ultraviolet curable resin. The recording layer (13) has a composition of (In 100-x Sb x ) 100-y Te y , wherein x and y are in atomic % and x falls within a range of 48 ≦ x ≦ 52 and y falls within a range of 0.05 ≦ y ≦ 5.
