    摘要: A highly reliable magnetic recording medium is provided which has a recording layer formed in a concavo-convex pattern and wherein the recording layer is unlikely to cause a change in magnetic properties. The magnetic recording medium includes a substrate, a recording layer formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern over the substrate, convex portions of the concavo-convex pattern serving as recording elements; and a filler portion filling a concave portion between the recording elements. The filler portion comprises a metal-based main filler material and oxygen. Oxygen is unevenly distributed in the filler portion so that the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to the total of the number of atoms of the main filler material and the number of oxygen atoms is greater in an upper surface portion of the filler portion than in a lower portion of the filler portion.

    摘要: The magnetic recording medium includes a substrate and a recording layer formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern over the substrate, and the recording layer includes recording elements each formed as a convex portion of the recording layer. Surface steps are formed in an inner area including a radially innermost portion of a recording area. Each surface step is formed in such a manner that a portion over a concave portion between the recording elements is recessed toward a substrate to a level below a portion over the recording element. The surface steps are formed such that the recording area can be sectioned into an annular area adjoining the inner area and the inner area where height of the surface steps is larger than that in the annular area.

    摘要: A filling material different from a first mask layer (temporary coating material) is deposited over a workpiece to fill concave portions. At least part of excess portions of the filling material is removed by a dry etching method such that at least part of the side surfaces of the first mask layer over recording elements are exposed. Then, the first mask layer is removed by a dry etching method which uses a reactive gas having the property of chemically reacting with and removing both the filling material and the first mask layer as a processing gas and in which an etching rate for the first mask layer is higher than that for the filling material, and the etching rate for the filling material is higher than that for a recording layer (a lower layer that is in contact with a lower surface of the first mask layer over recording elements).

    摘要: A magnetic recording medium in which a recording layer is formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern and recording and reproducing apparatus comprising the magnetic recording medium are disclosed. The magnetic recording medium has a high areal density and high reliability since the occurrence of a crash of a magnetic head is suppressed. The magnetic recording medium comprises a recording layer formed over a substrate in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern to form recording elements as a convex portion of the concavo-convex pattern and a non-magnetic filler element filled in a concave portion between the recording elements. In this configuration, the top surface of the filler element is formed in a shape partially recessed toward the substrate side to form a groove having a width smaller than the width of the concave portion on the surface of the magnetic recording medium.

    摘要: Provided is a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium that has a concavo-convex patterned recording layer, sufficient flatness, and excellent recording/reproducing properties. A filling material is deposited over a workpiece including a substrate; a recording layer formed over the substrate in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern of which convex portions are recording elements; and a detection material formed over the recording elements. Process gas is irradiated to the surface to remove a portion of the filling material and the detection material to flatten the surface. An element contained in the detection material removed and flying off is detected on the basis of its atomic mass number. The irradiation of the process gas is then stopped according to the detection result. The detection material contains an element selected from the group consisting of aluminum, yttrium, zirconium, niobium, rhodium, silver, terbium, tantalum, gold, bismuth, titanium, indium, and tungsten.

    摘要: On an information recording medium, a data track pattern and a servo pattern composed of a concave/convex pattern including a plurality of convex parts are formed on at least one surface side of a substrate and respective concave parts in the concave/convex pattern are filled with non-magnetic material. In the concave/convex pattern that constructs the data track pattern, the respective convex parts are formed concentrically or in a spiral. The concave/convex pattern that constructs the servo pattern is divided into a plurality of ring-shaped regions that are concentric with the data track pattern and has a unit convex part length along a direction of rotation of the substrate set in each ring-shaped region so that a value produced by dividing an average length of the unit convex part length in each ring-shaped region by a distance from a center of the data track pattern to the ring-shaped region decreases from ring-shaped regions in an inner periphery to ring-shaped regions in an outer periphery.
