Abstract

An optical memory element includes stripe-shaped grooves formed directly on a glass substrate. To manufacture the optical memory element, a resist film is disposed on the glass substrate, and a groove pattern is formed in the resist film. A reactive ion etching is conducted through the groove pattern formed in the resist film so as to form the guide grooves in the glass substrate. After removing the resist film from the glass substrate, a magneto-optical recording layer is formed on the glass substrate.
