Abstract

Data storage replica disks having a surface relief pattern with replica lands and replica grooves are provided.

Claims (23)

1. A disk for storing information, comprising:

a surface including tracks comprising lands and pits, wherein the surface corresponds to a recording layer of the disk, wherein the tracks have a track pitch that is less than 375 nm, wherein the pits have a pit depth, and wherein the pit depth ranges from 55 nm to 110 nm.

2. The disk of claim 1 , wherein the pit depth ranges from 78 nm to 110 nm.

3. The disk of claim 1 , wherein the pit depth ranges from 91 nm to 110 nm.

4. The disk of claim 1 , wherein the disk is a replica disk that is formed from a master stamper disk.

5. The disk of claim 1 , wherein the tracks are spiral tracks defined by adjacent lands and pits.

6. The disk of claim 1 , wherein the lands are substantially flat.

7. The disk of claim 1 , wherein the disk for storing information is a DVD disk.

8. The disk of claim 1 , wherein the lands and pits represent information encoded on the surface.

9. The disk of claim 1 , wherein the tracks are concentric spiral tracks, spaced radially from a disk center, defined by adjacent lands and pits.

10. A disk for storing information, comprising:

a surface including tracks comprising lands and pits, wherein the surface corresponds to a recording layer of the disk, wherein the tracks have a track pitch that is less than 375 nm, wherein the pits have a pit depth, and wherein the pit depth ranges from 64 nm to 91 nm.

11. The disk of claim 10 , wherein the pit depth ranges from 78 nm to 91 nm.

12. The disk of claim 10 , wherein the disk is a replica disk that is formed from a master stamper disk.

13. The disk of claim 10 , wherein the tracks are spiral tracks defined by adjacent lands and pits.

14. The disk of claim 10 , wherein the lands are substantially flat.

15. The disk of claim 10 , wherein the disk for storing information is a DVD disk.

16. The disk of claim 10 , wherein the lands and pits represent information encoded on the surface.

17. The disk of claim 10 , wherein the tracks are concentric spiral tracks, spaced radially from a disk center, defined by adjacent lands and pits.

18. A disk for storing information, comprising:

a surface including tracks comprising lands and pits, wherein the surface corresponds to a recording layer of the disk, wherein the tracks have a track pitch that is less than 375 nm, wherein the pits have a pit depth, wherein the pit depth ranges from 55 nm to 110 nm, wherein the lands have a land width, and wherein the land width ranges from between 25 percent of the track pitch and 140 nm.

19. The disk of claim 18 , wherein the pit depth ranges from 78 nm to 91 nm.

20. The disk of claim 18 , wherein the tracks are concentric spiral tracks, spaced radially from a disk center, defined by adjacent lands and pits.
