Aluminum-alloy reflection film for optical information-recording, optical information-recording medium, and aluminum-alloy sputtering target for formation of the aluminum-alloy reflection film for optical information-recording

摘要

There are provided an aluminum-alloy reflection film for optical information-recording, having low thermal conductivity, low melting temperature, and high corrosion resistance, capable of coping with laser marking, an optical information-recording medium comprising the reflection film described, and an aluminum-alloy sputtering target for formation of the reflection film described. The invention includes (1) an aluminum-alloy reflection film for optical information-recording, containing an element Al as the main constituent, 1.0 to 10.0 at. % of at least one element selected from the group of rare earth elements, and 0.5 to 5.0 at. % of at least one element selected from the group consisting of elements Cr, Ta, Ti, Mo, V, W, Zr, Hf, Nb, and Ni, (2) an optical information-recording medium comprising any of the aluminum-alloy reflection films described as above, and (3) a sputtering target having the same composition as that for any of the aluminum-alloy reflection films described as above.
