Abstract

Abstract A photo-mask which is used for the production of a substrate for an optical memory element includes a reflective film formed over an ultraviolet non-transmissive film on a substrate. Alternatively, a multi-layer dielectric film which is not transmissive to light of wavelength about 400 nm but transmissive to light of wavelength about 450 nm is formed on a substrate.
