ABSTRACT:
A method for making a master used in the production of optical information carriers having a relief structure, the relief structure representing data. The steps to obtain the relief structure involve: covering a substrate with a first blocking material, removing the first blocking material in a predetermined pattern to produce a first set of open regions where the substrate is exposed and a set of closed regions where the substrate remains covered, and growing an active material layer in a first subset of the first set of open regions to a predetermined thickness, that thickness representing a first data value. The active material is grown by anodization or electroplating in the open regions. The invention also provides for covering the active material layer, removing predetermined portions of the first blocking material to uncover a second subset of open regions, and growing the active material in that second subset of open regions to a thickness representing a different data value. Alternatively, the active material may be left uncovered when a second set of open regions is created and all of the open regions can be grown together.
