An apparatus and method for testing mechanical endurance of a surface of an optical disc are disclosed. The apparatus includes a rotating plate, on which an optical disc to be scratched is loaded, for rotating the loaded optical disc, and a plurality of abrasion wheels of a predetermined type, disposed at a perpendicular to the rotating plate, for contacting the optical disc and generating the scratch, the scratch being generated when the optical disc rotates a predetermined number of turns, e.g., maximum of 5 turns for the abrasion wheels to apply a predetermined load on the optical disc.

A thin film bonding method for bonding a thin film to an target surface by using an adhesive agent includes the steps of: applying the adhesive agent on the target surface and mounting the thin film on the adhesive agent; applying a a fluid pressure on the target surface and the thin film from a central portion to an circumference according to lapse of time, so as to allow the thin film and the target surface to be bonded partially; and hardening the adhesive agent. The compressive force using the fluid having a magnetic force in the thin film bonding proceeds in a spiral form from the central portion to the circumference of the disk according to lapse of time, so that the air trap existing in the adhesive agent can be effectively removed, and thus, the flatness of the disk can be prevented from degradation due to the air trap.

An optical recording medium and a method for fabricating the same are provided, which enable overwriting at high density. The optical recording medium including a dielectric layer, a recording layer, and a reflecting layer on a substrate, is characterized in that an interface layer is formed on either at least one of lower and upper surfaces of the recording layer or one surface of the lower and upper surfaces of the dielectric layer, adjacent to the recording layer, at a predetermined thickness. Thus, jitter bump can be minimized, so that overwriting cyclicity of overwrite jitter can be improved.

A phase-change optical disc that is adapted to weaken a self-sharpening effect and to be driven by a pulse width modulation system. In the disc, a dielectric layer formed on the surface of a recording layer and a heat flow control layer is sequentially disposed. The heat flow control layer is formed to include a material having a high heat conductivity and a material having a low heat conductivity.
