Abstract
The present invention provides a method for manufacturing optical disk substrates whereby grooves and pits of optical disk substrates are formed highly accurately and finely, so that resulting optical disks can be of large-capacity and reduced in noise level. A coat of an organic material is provided on a substrate which is to be a master, on which a mask material is patterned as an etching mask. After the coat of the organic material is etched, the mask material is removed, whereby a master is obtained. A metallic coat is formed to the master. A metallic main body portion is integrally formed on the metallic coat. A metallic portion comprising the metallic coat and metallic main body portion is separated from the master. A metallic stamper is thus formed.
