A compact disc is a deceptively simple looking device considering the technology required to make it. CDs consist of three layers of materials:

  • A base layer made of a polycarbonate plastic.
  • A thin layer of aluminum coating over the polycarbonate plastic.
  • A clear protective acrylic coating over the aluminum layer.

Some manufacturers use a silver or even http://wiki.answers.com/../Volume-1/Gold.htmllayer instead of the aluminum layer in the manufacture of their compact discs.
