For the more technically minded, DVD discs are manufactured in this way:
1) The DLT tape master is loaded onto a hard disk and compared with the physical DVD specification.
2) The data is then loaded into a laser beam recorder (LBR)
3) The Laser beam signal is modulated by the digital signal and strikes a photo sensitive chemical coated onto a glass plate (glassmaster) (Two glassmasters are produced for a DVD-9/10)
4) The glassmaster is then developed and etched to produce a set of useable pits. It is then silver plated
5) The silver plating is then electro plated with nickel in a galvanic bath.
6) This layer the “father” is peeled of the original and is a reverse or the master surface
7) The father is then used to make further versions (stampers)
8) The stamper is then cut and placed in a mould
9) The mould is injected with liquid polycarbonate and cooled rapidly
10) The clear disc(s) with data cooled onto one side then enters a chamber
11) The chamber contains a vacuum, and inert argon gas is injected
12) A negative electric charge is applied to the base of the chamber and a metal target (silver/gold/aluminum/silicon) is at the top. The electric charge forces a thin layer of metal to jump evenly onto the disc. Giving a reflective surface.
13) Depending on if the disc is a DVD-9 or a DVD-5 the two layers are bonded together with different amounts of reflective coating
14) The disc is then coated with a lacquer to prevent oxidization
15) Finally the disc enters the printing process.
16) Cycle time is under 3 seconds (DVD-9)
