Abstract

An optical storage medium includes a substrate having grooves and lands. A first dielectric layer overlies the substrate. A recording layer overlies the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer overlies the recording layer, and a light transmitting layer overlying the second dielectric layer. Each of the grooves is larger in width than adjacent two of the lands.
