Abstract:
1. A disk substrate molding apparatus, comprising: a disk substrate molding die; and a temperature controller including a first supplying part, a second supplying part and a third supplying part, wherein the disk substrate molding die includes: a stamper; a first die including a mirror member disposed in contact with the stamper; and a second die including a molding surface which forms a disk-shaped cavity between the molding surface and the stamper, the second die includes a protruding part which protrudes in a direction toward the stamper at an outer circumferential part of the molding surface, the second die including: 1) an outer thermostatic water passage positioned in an area that includes the protruding part and that is supplied water from the third supplying part of the temperature controller; and 2) an inner thermostatic water passage which is formed separately from the outer thermostatic water passage and which is positioned in an area that includes a region that is further toward an inner circumferential side of the disk substrate molding die than the protruding part and that is supplied water from the second supplying part of the temperature controller, the first die includes a thermostatic water passage that is supplied water from the first supplying part of the temperature controller, and the temperature controller controls temperature of the second die by controlling temperature of the water supplied from the second and third supplying parts to the inner thermostatic water passage and the outer thermostatic water passage so that the protruding part exhibits a higher temperature in comparison to a region further toward the inner circumferential side of the disk substrate molding die than the protruding part, and controls temperature of the first die by controlling temperature of water supplied from the first supply part to the thermostatic water passage so that a region in the mirror member opposite to the protruding part exhibits a lower temperature in comparison to the protruding part.
