Abstract

A stamper protecting layer is interposed between a mold and a stamper of an optical disk molding apparatus, so that forces generated by extension and shrinkage of the stamper in a diametrical direction of the stamper relative to the mold when an optical disk are molded is absorbed by the stamper protecting layer. With this arrangement, the stamper is prevented from being deformed. Accordingly quality and production of the optical disks are improved.
