Abstract

The invention provides a method of fabricating an optical recording medium comprising a phase change type recording layer containing at least one element selected from In, Ag, Te and Sb. The recording layer is formed by a sputtering technique wherein sputtering is carried out while an inert gas and an oxygen gas are introduced in a vacuum chamber in a sputtering system, so that the number of overwritable cycles can be increased by simple means.
