High Definition Video Status 

Hardware prices falling, but still high, especially Blu-ray and 

in Europe 

Dual-mode players (LG) even higher prices, no impact 

Vendors subsidizing hardware to drive down costs 

Limited retailer media push, dual inventory, expensive 

Industry confusion over Blu-ray interactivity specifications 

and player/disc operability 

Outlook: despite issues, expect growth from 2009, Blu-ray 

likely to dominate

Part 2 : Molding of the 1.1mm Substrate 

AWM’s »six.one« Mold 


The »six.one« Mold Concept 


Traditional Mirror Tempering Technology 

Background: 

§ The typical production mold today uses a 

spiral cooling channel. The fluid enters the 

mold at one point, circulates and exits at 

another point 

§ The problem of the traditional design is a 

large temperature differential between the 

fluid entering and the fluid exiting the mold 

§ The mold’s surface can not be evenly 

tempered across its surface 

§ Ineffective usage of the tempering system 

leads to ineffective removal of heat in 

production 

Cold Fluid 

Warm Fluid 

Hot Fluid 


Homogeneous Tempering Technology 

Challenge: 

§ Attain exact temperature control at every 

point on the mold’s surface to optimally form 

the smallest structures 

Solution: 

§ AWM’s »six.one« mold uses more cooling 

channels, shorter paths and counter flow 

§ We call this HTT or Homogeneous 

Tempering Technology 

Advantages: 

§ The consequence of this design is that the 

temperature differential, or ∆T between the 

fluid entering the cooling area and the fluid 

leaving the cooling area is not as large 

§ The mold’s surface can now be much more 

evenly tempered across its surface 

Cold Fluid 

Warm Fluid 

Hot Fluid

Tempered Venting Ring 

§ Challenge: provide the best control of mechanical properties for bonding and spin 

coating processes 

§ Solution: Equip molds with a ventingring that has a cooling channel in it 

§ Molds without TVR do not have equal 

cooling on both sides. The tempering on 

the left mold is asymmetrical 

§ Molds with TVR are much more evenly 

tempered. Therefore we refer to this 

type of tempering as symmetrical 

PATENTED! 

Exclusive AWM Technology 

Untempered, asymmetrical Tempered, symmetrical 


Mold Centering by Guide Shafts 

§ Challenge: reduce wear and hold ECC constant over the mold's entire lifespan 

§ Advantages: Since the clamping unit's two halves are never completely aligned while 

open, wear on stamper, conus and stamper holder occur each time the mold closes. 

Guide shafts stop the wear by enabling a smooth closing over the entire mold stroke

Excellent ECC Results 

§ Good stampers and AWM’s mold yield excellent ECC results. Some examples: 

§ The stamper with 22mm i.d. (ECC of 5µm) yielded discs with ECC of 10µm 

§ The stamper with 34mm i.d. (ECC of 21µm) yielded discs with ECC of 25µm 


Outer Ring Around Mirror 

Challenge: 

§ Reduce maintenance and operation costs 

Solution: 

§ Patented ring around the outside of the 

mirror (on print side) which is not part of 

the steel base 

Advantages: 

§ Reduced repair cost, if the mirror is 

damaged during service. If the mirror’s 

edge is damaged, one only needs to 

replace the ring and not the whole mirror 

§ Reduced cost of operation for printing 

machinery. The bevel on the mirror 

prevents sharp edges that rip the printing 

screens

Special Coatings 

Challenge: 

§ Maintain mold’s life time in spite of 

dramatically faster cycle times 

Solution: 

§ Long life coatings optimized for the injection 

molding of optical grade products 

Advantages: 

§ Well-known titanium coating (top) has a 

high scratch resistance and a very long life. 

This means that fewer polishings or 

recoatings are required even for fast cycle 

times 

§ AWM's DLC coating outlasts all other DLC 

coatings on mirrors and increases stamper 

life time 



Welded Mirror Construction 

Challenge: 

• Improve quality and reliability by eliminating 

leaks and the number of parts 

Solution: 

• Instead of using a mirror that is composed 

of an upper and a lower plate, AWM 

uses a single piece welded mirror 

Advantages: 

• One single part allows for highest 

precision, i.e. no additive tolerances of 

several parts. Therefore best disc 

quality 

• No leaks caused by aging washers or 

water quality that attacks washer 

material 

• Fewer possible error sources during 

preventive maintenance

Part 3 : Wet Embossing of Second Info Layer 

Functionality and Mold Technology in the Wet Embossing Unit 


Part 4 : Conclusion 

The Key Points Covered 


Conclusion 

Key point 1 - 

Key point 2 - 

The wet embossing unit is a combination of line making know-how 

and precision machine making. 

There is a significant amount of moldmaking know-how in the wet 

embossing unit, even though the wet embossing unit is not really a 

mold. Above all, knowledge about ECC, clearance fitting guide 

shafts, machining tolerances and optical surface manufacturing are 

critical 

. 

Key point 3 - In these areas, AWM does have a large know-how at its disposal 

and production of several thousand molds incorporating the 

required technologies.

The BD and HD DVD CATS 

Stamper analyzers 

www.audiodev.com

The technical solution 

Test all formats 

CATS stamper testers for the Blue Laser 

formats are based on CATS reference BD and 

HD DVD replica testers 

Stamper adapter 

A high quality stamper adapter protects the stamper and a magnetic 

film ensures the stamper stays flat during measurements 

Stamper sandwich 

BD stamper testers use a 0,1 mm glass substrate attached to the 

stamper. The glass plate is fixed to the stamper by the capillary forces of 

the immersion liquid 

Test both replica and stamper 

It is easy and reliable to shift between replica verification and stamper 

verification 

www.audiodev.com

Stamper Sandwich 


Immersion liquid is spin coated on the stamper 

Glass is fixed to the stamper through capillary forces 

The Stamper sandwich could also be sent from Stamper manuf. 

to Disc manuf. as is. Immersion liquid will restrain the Stamper from 

corrosion

Immersion liquid

www.audiodev.com

Other features 

Full correlation between replica and Stamper 

Due to the fact the immersion liquid has the correct optical characteristics and that it 

completely covers the pit structure of the stamper, a read-out situation very similar to that 

of a replica is achieved 

Top-loaded drive mechanism 

The interlock function is a security function. It makes it not possible to touch the 

spinning parts while testing 

Reference drive from Toptica 

The stamper tester is contain the same drive as today used in the equivalent replica 

tester from AudioDev 

ISI functionality 

To enable full optimization of jitter a powerful separation of different components is 

needed. The separation is achieved by evaluating jitter for different symbols and 

combinations of symbols, Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) 

Buffer board 

Using the Signal Buffer Board will enable to connect external measurement equipment 

to the CATS analyzer

§ Planning of large fabs with capacities of 100 MWp to 1 GWp is a reality 

today 

§ Why large fabs? 

- Economy of scale important to further reduce cost of ownership 

- Reduction of material cost 

- Up times and yield enhancement beyond 90 percent 

- Shorten time-to-market 

§ For logistics reason customer will build up their capacity in Europe, Asia 

and the USA

Economic 

success 

§ The switch to renewable energies has started – climate change and 

finiteness of fossil resources demand action. 

§ Among the renewable energies, solar energy plays a key role. It has the 

greatest potential and has no disadvantages. 

§ Oerlikon is the world‘s first supplier of the thin-film silicon process, which can 

provide users with industrially ready, turnkey production plants. The use of 

solar energy presents completely new prospects. 

§ Market demand in the long term will be greater than the supply capability of 

the suppliers 

§ Oerlikon Solar is exceptionally well positioned as a technology leader and is 

expanding this field of business at a rapid pace.

Future Reality: Solar Power Everywhere 

With its innovative 

industrial production 

solutions, Oerlikon 

Solar is the market 

leader and is helping 

to make solar power 

a primary energy 

source within the 

near future.
