Patent ID: 7844984

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a multilayered optical recording medium, said method comprising the steps of: providing a protection layer on a supporting base; providing a transmissive stamper having at least one depression-protrusion outer contour; contacting the depression-protrusion outer contour of the transmissive stamper with the protection layer on the supporting base and transferring the depression-protrusion outer contour of the transmissive stamper to the protection layer on the supporting base; irradiating the transmissive stamper with ultraviolet rays, the irradiating of the transmissive stamper curing the protection layer to produce a cured protection layer; removing the transmissive stamper from the protection layer; depositing a recording layer on the cured protection layer; depositing a recording layer on the transmissive stamper; forming an intermediate layer on the recording layer that has been deposited on the transmissive stamper; attaching the intermediate layer to the recording layer on the cured protection layer; irradiating the transmissive stamper with ultraviolet rays, the irradiating of the transmissive stamper curing the intermediate layer to produce a cured intermediate layer; and removing the supporting base from the cured protection layer to form a multilayered optical recording medium.
