Abstract

An optical information recording medium 10 is composed of at least a reflective layer 2, a first protective layer 3, a phase-change type optical recording layer 4 and a second protective layer 5 being sequentially laminated on a substrate 1. The optical information recording medium 10 is conducted to record information by changing a phase of the phase-change type optical recording layer 4 by irradiating light from the second protective layer 5 side. The phase-change type optical recording layer 4 further contains at least Ti, In, Ge, Sb and Te. When each content amount of the Ti, In, Ge, Sb and Te is defined as v, w, x, y and z in atomic percent respectively, each content amount of v, w, x, y and z in atomic percent satisfies following relations: 0.3≦v≦4, 0.3≦w≦3, 3.4≦x≦14.5, 2.1≦y/z≦4 and 98.8≦v+w+x+y+z≦100.≦.

Claims (9)

1. An optical information recording medium for recording information comprising:

the phase-change type optical recording layer further containing at least Ti, In, Ge, Sb and Te, when defining each content amount of the Ti, In, Ge, Sb and Te as v, w, x, y and z in atomic percent respectively, each content amount of v, w, x, y and z in atomic percent satisfying following relations:

0.3≦v≦4,

0.3≦w≦3,

3.4≦x≦14.5,

2.1 ≦y/z≦ 4 and

98.8≦ v+w+x+y+z≦ 100.
