摘要:
A magnetic recording medium capable of preventing contact with a magnetic head for use in recording or reproduction, during recording or reproducing of record data. The magnetic recording medium has a disk-shaped substrate having a surface formed with an annular data-recording area, an outer area outward of the data-recording area, and an inner area inward of the same. The annular data-recording area has a plurality of tracks separated from each other by concentric separating grooves. At least one of the outer area and the inner is subjected to lift-adjusting treatment for enabling adjustment of lifts applied to the magnetic head. This makes it possible to effectively prevent the magnetic head from being inclined to be brought into contact with the magnetic recording medium.

There is provided a method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium with improved manufacturing efficiency. A discrete track magnetic recording medium is manufactured as follows. A resist layer 58a is formed on a preform M in the form of a flat plate where a recording layer 55 is formed on a glass substrate 51 and a preform center of the preform M is specified. The stamper S is placed on the preform M with the specified preform center and the stamper center specified based on a stamper center specifying mark Sm formed on the stamper S aligned when viewed from the thickness direction of the preform M to transfer a concave/convex pattern of the stamper S to the resist layer 58a. The resist layer 58a to which the concave/convex pattern has been transferred is used to form concave parts in the recording layer 55 of the preform M.

A low cost magnetic recording medium having low surface roughness and a method for manufacturing the magnetic recording medium are provided. A soft magnetic layer 16 has a laminate structure including a first soft magnetic layer 26 on the substrate 12 side and a second soft magnetic layer 28 on the recording layer 20 side. The second soft magnetic layer 28 is formed such that the surface roughness of the surface 28A on the recording layer 20 side of the second soft magnetic layer 28 is less than the surface roughness of the base surface 12A of the substrate 12 and is less than the surface roughness of the surface 26A on the recording layer 20 side of the first soft magnetic layer 26.

A method for forming a concavo-convex pattern that can form a fine and complex concavo-convex pattern such as that corresponding to servo information with high precision, a method for manufacturing a master disk, a method for manufacturing a stamper, and a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium using that method for forming a concavo-convex pattern are provided. A resin layer formed over a resin layer supporting member is processed into an irregular concavo-convex pattern in which a dividing convex portion is formed in a part of concave portions of a predetermined basic concavo-convex pattern and at least some of concave portions are divided as compared with corresponding concave portions of the basic concavo-convex pattern. A recording layer (the resin layer supporting member) is etched based on the resin layer to be processed into a concavo-convex pattern obtained by bringing the irregular concavo-convex pattern close to the basic concavo-convex pattern.

A magnetic recording medium is provided that includes a recording layer having recording elements formed as convex portions and a filling material filled within the concave portions between the recording elements. The medium is highly reliable and has a surface less liable to damages when a magnetic head contacts the surface, so that good recording/reproducing characteristics are ensured. The magnetic recording medium includes a recording layer formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern over a substrate and having recording elements formed as convex portions in the concavo-convex pattern and a filling material filled within the concave portions between the recording elements. The filling material is substantially composed of Si and O, and the ratio of the number of O atoms to the number of Si atoms is equal to or more than 1.5 and less than 2.

A perpendicular magnetic recording/reproducing device that can suppress broadening of recording magnetic fields and that is capable of effective application of magnetic field to a recording target track is provided. The device includes a magnetic recording medium having a soft magnetic layer and a recording layer having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy formed in this order over a substrate, and a magnetic head. The soft magnetic layer is formed with a concavo-convex pattern in which at least part of regions corresponding to tracks of the recording layer protrudes toward the recording layer, and convex portions are provided with the magnetic anisotropy in the circumferential direction of the tracks. The magnetic head includes a main pole for generating a recording magnetic field, and a return pole to which the magnetic field returns, the main pole and the return pole being arranged side by side in a track width direction.

A magnetic recording medium having high reliability is provided, in which concave portions between recording elements formed as convex portions of a concavo-convex pattern are approximately completely filled with a non-magnetic material. The magnetic recording medium is a plate-like body including: a substrate; a recording layer that is formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern over the substrate and includes recording elements for recording information formed as convex portions of the concavo-convex pattern; and the non-magnetic material filling concave portions between the recording elements. Side faces of the recording elements are inclined to face a surface of the plate-like body on a side toward which the recording elements 16 project in the concavo-convex pattern. An inclination angle of the side faces of the recording elements with respect to a direction perpendicular to that surface is smaller than 90° and 5° or more.

In a stamper which is used as a mold for pattern transfer, the problem is resolved in such a manner that at least the convex extreme surface of the stamper is formed of a material 110 with no crystalline peak in X-ray diffraction. Such a stamper can be manufactured by the method comprising the steps of forming a convex-concave pattern on a substrate, forming, on the convex-concave pattern, a layer of a material 110 with no crystalline peak in X-ray diffraction, and removing the layer of the material with no crystalline peak in X-ray diffraction from said substrate and convex-concave pattern in intimate contact with the layer.

The present invention manifests a highly excellent effect of allowing the plasma polymerization film to be formed stably for a long time while very rarely suffering occurrence of abnormal discharge during the formation of the plasma polymerization film and promoting the improvement of the yield of products because it adopts as the electrode for implementing plasma polymerization that of the electrodes which is located on the side confronting a surface on which the plasma polymerization film is formed, coats this electrode with a polymer material at a covering ratio in the range of 50-100%, and effects the formation of the plasma polymerization film on an elongate substrate under the operating pressure in the range of 10.sup.-3 -1 Torr. Further, the properties of the plasma polymerization film also become highly excellent.
