Abstract

In this work crystallization of an InSbTe alloy in Blu-ray Disc rewritable (BD-RE) media is studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Two different crystalline states can be formed in a thin InSbTe layer depending on crystallization conditions. These two states give rise to different reflectivity levels of the recording stack as well as a different level of normalized media noise. It is shown that the two states correspond to the same phase (R 3 m), but that they show clear differences in morphology as well as in texture.
