Description

We demonstrated the possibility of high data rate recording on a DVD-RAM disk which utilizes Ge-Sb-Te phase-change materials. To ensure high transfer rate overwriting on the DVD, quadruple speed (44Mbps) recording at a linear velocity of 16.4 m/s was tested using a Sn-added Ge-Sn-Sb-Te material as the recording layer. Double speed (22Mbps) recording on the present 4.7GB DVD-RAM at a linear velocity of 8.2 m/s was also tested. A CNR of more than 53 dB and an erasability of more than 30 dB were obtained at each double, triple and quadruple speeds. In addition, by recording via 8-16 random modulation signals, a jitter of 9 percent or less and a direct overwrite performance of 100,000 cycles were confirmed.
