An information processing medium includes a substrate, a single layered or
multilayered thin film layer formed on the substrate, and a thin
protective film formed to cover at least one surface of the thin film
layer. The thin protective film is mainly comprised of a synthetic resin.
At least either one of a Young's modulus and a linear expansion
coefficient of the thin protective film has a value compensating a radial
skew variation of the substrate caused by a change in ambient conditions.
