Abstract

In order to control a warp of a disc substrate so as to be a desired level, an optical disc production method includes: a step of supplying resin on the disc substrate; a step of mounting the disc substrate on an inside diameter portion of a turntable after supplying the resin; a step of providing an air-gap between an outside diameter portion of the turntable and a portion of the disc substrate that is not mounted; a step of extending the resin by spinning; and a curing step of curing the resin while spinning the disc substrate mounted on the inside diameter portion of the turntable, wherein in the step of extending the resin, a negative pressure is affected on a portion of the disc substrate that is not mounted, and in the curing step, the warp is controlled by curing the resin on the spinning disc substrate while maintaining effect of the negative pressure.

Claims (8)

1. An optical disc production method comprising the steps of:

mounting a portion of a disc substrate on a turntable while maintaining an air-gap between an outside diameter portion of the turntable and a portion of the disc substrate that is not mounted on the inside diameter portion after supplying liquid material on the disc substrate;

spinning the first disc substrate in order to spread the liquid material; and

semi-curing or completely curing the liquid material while spinning the first disc substrate, wherein

a warp of the first disc substrate is controlled by adjusting a size of the air-gap.

2. An optical disc production method according to claim 1 , wherein a warp of the first disc substrate is controlled by adjusting a spinning speed of the turntable.

3. An optical disc production method according to claim 1 , further comprising the steps of measuring a warp of the disc substrate after curing the liquid material, wherein a size of the air-gap is adjusted based on a measured result of the warp.

4. An optical disc production method according to claim 1 , further comprising the steps of measuring a warp of the disc substrate after curing the liquid material, wherein a spinning speed of the turntable is adjusted based on a measured result of the warp.
