OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM SAMPLE FABRICATING METHOD, OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM SAMPLE ANALYZING METHOD, OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM SAMPLE FABRICATING APPARATUS, AND OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM FABRICATING METHOD

摘要

The method of making an optical recording medium sample in accordance with the present invention comprises a laminate preparing step of preparing a laminate including a substrate used for an optical recording medium, and a functional layer formed adjacent to one side of the substrate; and a substrate removing step of removing a predetermined part of the substrate in the laminate so as to expose a contact surface of the functional layer with the substrate. In the optical recording medium sample obtained by the above-mentioned making method, since the functional layer is disposed in conformity to the surface of the substrate, profiles such as grooves, lands, and surface roughness of the surface of the substrate on the functional layer side are accurately transferred with a high precision to the exposed contact surface. Therefore, analyzing the exposed contact surface can grasp the surface form of the substrate.
