On a replica substrate 1a, a reflection layer 11, a first
dielectric layer 12 made of ZnS-SiO2, a recording layer 13
made of a phase change type recording material, and a second dielectric layer
14 made of ZnS-SiO2 are successively formed. In addition, a reaction
protection layer 15 made of Si3N4 or SiO2 is
formed on the second dielectric layer 14. As a result, an information signal
portion 1c is composed. A light transmissivity sheet is formed through
an adhesive layer so that the light transmissivity sheet coats an information signal
portion 1c. As a result, a light transmission layer is composed.
When the reaction protection layer 15 is not formed, a reaction protection
resin layer made of an ultraviolet ray setting resin is formed so that the reaction
protection resin layer coats the information signal portion 1c.
