Abstract
There is disclosed a method for manufacturing a bubble-mode optical disk having a recording layer made of a mixture of an indium oxide matrix containing indium clusters and organic clusters. The indium clusters absorb an energy of incident laser beam to heat the organic clusters which then release a gas component such that the matrix is locally deformed to form a protuberance. A plasma sputtering is used to deposit the recording layer on a disk substrate placed in a sputtering chamber. A target body used is made of indium. A low-pressure gaseous atmosphere in the chamber includes a methane series hydrocarbon gas and an oxygen gas. The gaseous atmosphere may include a hydrogen gas or a nitrogen gas.
