An optical information recording medium 10 is composed of at least a
reflective layer 2, a first protective layer 3, a phase-change type
optical recording layer 4 and a second protective layer 5 being
sequentially laminated on a substrate 1. The optical information
recording medium 10 is conducted to record information by changing a
phase of the phase-change type optical recording layer 4 by irradiating
light from the second protective layer 5 side. The phase-change type
optical recording layer 4 further contains at least Ti, In, Ge, Sb and
Te. When each content amount of the Ti, In, Ge, Sb and Te is defined as
v, w, x, y and z in atomic percent respectively, each content amount of
v, w, x, y and z in atomic percent satisfies following relations:
0.3.ltoreq.v.ltoreq.4, 0.3.ltoreq.w.ltoreq.3, 3.4.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.14.5,
2.1.ltoreq.y/z.ltoreq.4 and 98.8.ltoreq.v+w+x+y+z.ltoreq.100..ltoreq..
