Abstract
Abstract A method for manufacturing an optical information recording disk having a reduced eccentricity between the center hole of the disk and the recorded track. A transparent circular substrate is provided having a large circular hole. A metal lamination disk member is formed having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the hole in the substrate and an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the hole in the substrate. The metal lamination disk member is placed on the substrate with an adhesive and positioned so that the center hole in the lamination member is concentric relative to the substrate, whereupon the adhesive is hardened. A molded circular plate is then concentrically mounted having a transfer surface on a main surface of the circular substrate through a setting resin in a liquid phase, which is then hardened.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
263 words
A method of producing an optical information recording disk comprising the steps of: forming a transparent circular substrate having a circular center substrate hole; forming a metal lamination disk member having an outer diameter larger than the diameter of said circular center substrate hole and having a circular center mounting hole of a diameter smaller than said diameter of said circular center substrate hole, said mounting hole being formed of highly accurate dimensions such that said metal lamination disk member can be mounted on and maintained in high positional accuracy with respect to a mounting spindle of a stamper; mounting said metal lamination disk member on a main surface of said circular substrate through an adhesive agent; concentrically positioning said circular center mounting hole of said metal lamination disk member relative to said circular substrate; hardening said adhesive agent; concentrically mounting, relative to said housing hole, a main surface of said circular substrate on said stamper having a transfer surface, and forming optical information tracks concentric with said mounting hole by using a setting resin in a liquid phase and hardening said setting resin so as to transfer a pattern of said transfer surface; and wherein said metal lamination disk member comprises a circular support having a center hole and a projecting cylindrical portion surrounding said center hole and a circular metal plate fixed to a flat main surface of said circular support, said metal plate having a smaller circular hole than said center hole of said circular support, said smaller hole of said metal plate corresponding to said circular center mounting hole.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
263 words
A method of producing an optical information recording disk comprising the steps of: forming a transparent circular substrate having a circular center substrate hole; forming a metal lamination disk member having an outer diameter larger than the diameter of said circular center substrate hole and having a circular center mounting hole of a diameter smaller than said diameter of said circular center substrate hole, said mounting hole being formed of highly accurate dimensions such that said metal lamination disk member can be mounted on and maintained in high positional accuracy with respect to a mounting spindle of a stamper; mounting said metal lamination disk member on a main surface of said circular substrate through an adhesive agent; concentrically positioning said circular center mounting hole of said metal lamination disk member relative to said circular substrate; hardening said adhesive agent; concentrically mounting, relative to said housing hole, a main surface of said circular substrate on said stamper having a transfer surface, and forming optical information tracks concentric with said mounting hole by using a setting resin in a liquid phase and hardening said setting resin so as to transfer a pattern of said transfer surface; and wherein said metal lamination disk member comprises a circular support having a center hole and a projecting cylindrical portion surrounding said center hole and a circular metal plate fixed to a flat main surface of said circular support, said metal plate having a smaller circular hole than said center hole of said circular support, said smaller hole of said metal plate corresponding to said circular center mounting hole.
