Abstract

On a cemented carbide alloy disk or a cermet disk having been coated with either an iridium (Ir) alloy film or a ruthenium (Ru) alloy film is formed guide grooves by photography or ECR ion etching. The disk thus obtained is used as an optical or magnetic disk stamper. Next, a glass or aluminium disk is placed between a pair of stampers obtained as above and molded under pressure while heating thereby to make guide grooves of an optical or magnetic disk.
