Optical recording medium manufacturing method, and transfer apparatus for optical recording medium

An optical recording medium manufacturing method comprising:

• coating a first ultraviolet-curing resin on a recording layer of a substrate and curing the resin;
• coating a second ultraviolet-curing resin on the first ultraviolet-curing resin;
• placing the substrate coated with the second ultraviolet-curing resin onto an elastic sheet of a vacuum press apparatus;
• and
• pressing a stamper onto the second ultraviolet-curing resin to transfer unevenness thereto, wherein
• a press pressure at a time of the transfer is 11,875 N or less and a press time at the time of the transfer is 0.8 s or less.

A transfer apparatus for an optical recording medium, comprising:

• a vacuum press apparatus configured to press a stamper onto an ultraviolet-curing resin to transfer unevenness thereto;
• and
• a control apparatus configured to control the vacuum press apparatus, wherein
• the vacuum press apparatus includes a ram capable of holding the stamper,
• a table capable of placing an elastic sheet, and
• a drive apparatus capable of moving the ram in a direction approaching the table as well as in a direction separating therefrom, and
• the control apparatus controls the drive apparatus in such a manner that a press pressure becomes 11, 875 N or less and that a press time becomes 0.8 s or less.
