Method for manufacturing medium on which information is recorded in pit pattern
A method by which depressions and projections (pit pattern) can be formed directly and easily in a substrate made of inorganic material is provided. A method for forming a medium on which information is recorded in a pit pattern comprises the steps of: forming a recording material layer over a substrate made of inorganic material wherein the recording material layer is of a thermally deformable heat mode recording material; forming a plurality of holes by application of condensed light to the recording material layer; and forming a plurality of pits in the substrate wherein the plurality of pits corresponding to the plurality of holes are etched by using as a mask the recording material layer in which the plurality of holes are formed.
