电铸工艺是母盘制作工艺后的下一个环节。电铸是把玻璃母盘变成可以模压的坚硬的压模的技术。母盘工艺的成品是一个覆盖了显影光刻胶并已金属化的玻璃母盘。因为它可以反射,具有坑点,所以可播放。但母盘的表面非常精细易损,并且母盘制作耗费大量的时间和费用,所以母盘不能作为一种消费产品。为了复制大量的盘片,需要对玻璃母盘上的坑点结构做金属拷贝。这个拷贝放在模压机上,可生产大量的盘片。制作玻璃母盘的金属拷贝的工艺叫做电铸。电铸和电镀非常相似,事实上这两种技术的唯一区别是:电镀在工件上涂覆一薄层金属,而电铸则生成一个新的部 Electroforming process is the next part of mastering process. Electroforming is a technology that turns a glass master into a sturdy stamper that can be stamped. The finished product of the mastering process is a glass master that has been developed with a photoresist and has been metallized. Because it can be reflected, with pit, so playable. However, the surface of the master is very delicate and fragile, and mastering takes a great deal of time and expense, so the master can not be used as a consumer product. In order to copy a large number of disks, a metal copy of the pit structure on the glass master is required. This copy on the press, can produce a large number of discs. The process of making a metal copy of a glass master is called electroforming. Electroforming and electroplating are very similar, in fact the only difference between the two techniques is that electroplating applies a thin layer of metal to the workpiece while electroforming creates a new section
