Abstract

A master disk used for manufacturing an optical disk on which information is recorded, and a method of manufacturing the same. First and second photoresist layers are sequentially disposed on a substrate and the first photoresist layer is less sensitive to exposure to a laser beam having a predetermined wavelength than the second photoresist layer. The master disk is manufactured by selectively exposing and etching the first and second photoresist layers, so that the boundaries between grooves and information pits recessed from the grooves become distinct and the grooves and information pits have inner walls substantially perpendicular to the substrate. Therefore, the reproduction characteristics of an optical disk obtained from the master disk are improved.
