Abstract

An optical recording medium and a method for fabricating the same. A read only data region, a writable/readable data region and a content recording region are formed on a transparent substrate. The read only data region is used to store prerecording data which can only be read but is unable to be rewritten. The writable/readable data region is used to read and write data, while the content recording region is used to record initial address information of the recorded data in the read only data region, the writable/readable data region and the content recording region. A recording layer in the writable/readable data region is formed with the derivative of cyanine dye, phthalocyanine dye or azo dye. Or alternatively, the recording layer is made of an alloy containing tellurium, germanium, or antimony, or an alloy containing indium, silver, antimony or tellurium.
