ABSTRACT:
Metal alloy thin films are provided for use in the highly reflective and semi-reflective layers of optical discs. Alloys include silver alloyed with gold, palladium, copper, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. Other alloys include copper alloys with silver, magnesium, cadmium, aluminum, nickel, beryllium, zirconium and zinc. These alloys have moderate to high reflectivity and reasonable corrosion resistance in the ambient environment.
