Information recording medium and method for recording information thereon

An information recording medium on which information is recorded using an electron beam, comprising:

• an insulating substrate having light transmittancy, a conductive film layered on said insulating substrate and having light transmittancy, an electron sensitive layer layered on said conductive film, and an antistatic film layered on said electron sensitive layer, wherein
• when information is recorded by the irradiation of said electron beam, said electron beam is irradiated upon said electron sensitive layer through said antistatic film in such a state that at least one of said conductive film and said antistatic film is set at a potential to absorb electrons generated by said electron beam.

A method for recording information to an electron sensitive layer in an information recording medium by irradiating an electron beam, said electron sensitive layer being provided on an insulating substrate having light transmittancy, said method comprising the steps of:

• layering a conductive film having light transmittancy and said electron sensitive layer on said insulating substrate;
• and
• irradiating said electron beam upon said electron sensitive layer in such a state that said conductive film is set at a potential to absorb electrons generated by the irradiation of said electron beam.
