摘要:
A dry etching method and the like that can process a layer to be processed in a fine pattern to have a peripheral portion of an angular shape, are described. This dry etching method forms a step portion 21 along a peripheral portion of a first mask layer 20 that corresponds to an outline of an etching pattern in such a manner that the step portion 21 projects toward an opposite side to a magnetic thin layer 18 (layer to be processed).

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.

There is provided a stamper on which stamper-side concave/convex patterns are formed and which is capable of manufacturing an information recording medium on which at least servo patterns are formed by concave/convex patterns. First convex parts that are continuously formed along a direction corresponding to a radial direction of the information recording medium are formed in the stamper-side concave/convex patterns. Each of the first convex parts is formed so that a height of a part of the first convex part from a reference plane, which is set between a front surface and a rear surface of the stamper, to protruding end of the first convex part increases as a length of the part of the first convex part in a direction corresponding to a circumferential direction of the information recording medium increases.

A method for producing slush nitrogen comprises the steps of: spraying liquid nitrogen from a nozzle into a vessel kept under a reduced pressure with a nozzle diameter and a spraying pressure being so adjusted as for the liquid nitrogen to maintain the form of droplets, to thereby form liquid nitrogen fine particles having a uniform particle diameter and disperse said particles in the vessel; vaporizing nitrogen from the droplet particles during the stay thereof in the space of the vessel, to solidify liquid nitrogen particles by vaporization latent heat and form fine solid nitrogen particles having a uniform particle diameter; and mixing the solid nitrogen particles with liquid nitrogen.

A method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium is provided, which can efficiently manufacture a magnetic recording medium that includes a recording layer formed in a concavo-convex pattern, has a sufficiently flat surface, and provides good recording and reproduction precision. The method includes: a non-magnetic material filling step of depositing a non-magnetic material over a recording layer formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern over a substrate, thereby filling a concave portion of the concavo-convex pattern with the non-magnetic material; and a flattening step of removing the excess part of the non-magnetic material above the recording layer by ion beam etching to flatten the surfaces of the non-magnetic layer and the recording layer.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium that includes a recording layer formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern in which recording elements are formed as convex portions, has high areal density, cannot cause crash of a magnetic head easily, and has high reliability, and a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus including that magnetic recording medium are provided. The magnetic recording medium includes: the recording elements formed as the convex portions of the recording layer formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern over a substrate; and a filling material with which a concave portion between the recording elements is filled. The surface roughness of a portion of a surface of the medium above the filling material is larger than that of portions of the surface above the recording elements.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium is provided, which includes a recording layer formed in a concavo-convex pattern to achieve high areal density and can ensure good recording and reproduction characteristics so as to provide high reliability. The magnetic recording medium has a substrate and a recording layer formed in the predetermined concavo-convex pattern over the substrate. The recording layer has a non-recording element and recording elements. The non-recording element is formed as convex portion of the concavo-convex pattern at an outer circumferential end and/or an inner circumferential end. The recording elements are formed as convex portions of the concavo-convex pattern in a region other than a region where the non-recording element is arranged. The magnetic recording medium further has a non-magnetic material with which concave portions of the concavo-convex pattern are filled and which covers the non-recording element, and a protective layer formed over the recording layer and the non-magnetic material.
