ABSTRACT There is disclosed a new and improved method for making a stamping master for video disk repli- cation wherein a film of material which is revers- ibly convertible between two stable states, one having a high electrical conductivity and the other having a low electrical conductivity, is de- posited on a substrate while in one of the states. The material is then imaged with informa- tion in coded form by converting selected areas of the film to the other state in a predetermined pattern corresponding to the coded information. The conversion can be accomplished by light, elec- tromagnetic energy or heat. At this stage, an intermediate subassembly, composed of the imaged film on the substrate, is formed which can be read for accuracy by detecting the state of the selectively converted areas with respect to the rest of the film. Corrections can be made by converting the state of selected areas of the film as required. A metal, such as nickel, is then electro- plated onto the areas of the film which are in the high conductivity state. The plating is continued until the nickel spans the areas of the film on which it did not directly plate. In this way a continuous backing layer which is integral with the plated nickel is formed. The nickel is then separated from the imaged material to provide a first stamping master which is used to form a second stamping master of oppo- site polarity to the first, preferably by a simi- lar plating onto the first master. The second stamping master is used directly for video disk replication.
