Optical recording medium and fabricating method thereof

A method for fabricating an optical recording medium, comprising:

• providing a substrate with at least one of information pits and guide grooves formed thereon;
• forming a light absorbing layer comprising phthalocyanine compounds (I), (II) and (III) overlying the substrate;
• forming a light reflecting layer overlying the light absorbing layer;
• and
• forming a protective layer overlying the light reflecting layer,
• wherein
• the phthalocyanine compounds (I), (II) and (III) are selected from the group consisting of phthalocyanine, naphthalocyanine, tetraazaporphyrin compounds and derivatives thereof;
• each of the phthalocyanine compounds (I) and (II) has a thermal decomposition temperature of from 200° C. to 300° C., and has a different light absorbing ability against light having a wavelength of 780 nm;
• and
• the phthalocyanine compound (III) has a thermal decomposition temperature of from 300° C. to 350° C.
