摘要:
A master carrier for magnetic transfer includes a transfer portion on which a magnetic layer corresponding to magnetic information for transfer is formed, and a non-transfer portion forming a concave shape relatively low with respect to the transfer portion having the magnetic layer, wherein the magnetic layer of the transfer portion has perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, with residual magnetization Mr of 500 emu/cc or less, and saturation magnetization Ms of 900 emu/cc or more. CoPt can be used as a material of the magnetic layer, and use of Co4Pt1 (at %) is especially preferable. Thereby, a master carrier for magnetic transfer which can generate a high magnetic field capable of transfer of a short bit to a high density medium is provided.

Magnetic field absorbing regions, composed of protrusions or magnetic layers, are provided in an amplitude servo transfer pattern of a patterned master carrier for magnetic transfer. The magnetic field absorbing regions are provided in intermediate tracks between burst bit elements that constitute burst bit strings, which are provided adjacent to each other in a track width direction. The amplitude servo transfer pattern in magnetically transferred onto a magnetic recording medium. Portions of the magnetic recording medium corresponding to the magnetic field absorbing regions become magnetically non-inverted regions. Therefore, noise is not recorded, and servo tracking can be favorably performed.

In an information recording method of the present invention by carrying out recording data while carrying out tracking servo accurately, high density recording of signals at a good S/N can be carried out, and high density recording by a vertical magnetic recording system can be carried out. A magnetic disk comprises a magnetic recording layer, and the magnetic recording layer is magnetized in advance such that magnetized regions A and B having different magnetization directions are formed. At a time of recording data, vertical magnetic recording is carried out by a magnetic head while carrying out accurate tracking servo by optically tracking by a magneto-optical effect utilizing a difference in the magnetization directions of the magnetized regions A and B. Therefore, high-density recording at a good S/N is possible.

A magnetic recording medium containing a magnetic recording layer with a coercivity squareness ratio of 0.4 to 0.9 is produced by magnetic transfer, for which a magnetic field is applied to an unrecorded magnetic recording medium while maintaining a patterned side of the patterned master medium in close contact with the magnetic recording layer for magnetic transfer. At least portions of the patterned side are made of a soft-magnetic material, and the pattern formed on the patterned side has a bit length of 60 nm or smaller. It is possible to arrange the magnetic recording layer to have a coercive force of 398 kA/m or greater, reduce the bit length to 55 nm or smaller, and heat the magnetic recording layer to 100° C. or higher during application of the magnetic field.

A master information carrier for magnetic transfer bears uneven signal patterns on its surface. When the minimum bit length in the uneven signal patterns is Bmin, dummy uneven patterns are provided in a depression of the uneven signal patterns, which has a length of 4Bmin or longer in the direction along a track. When magnetic transfer is performed, magnetized patterns corresponding to the dummy uneven patterns are transferred onto a slave medium. The magnetized patterns are patterns which will not be recognized as reproduction signals at a drive, into which the slave medium after magnetic transfer will be loaded.

Disclosed is a magnetic transfer method magnetically transferring information signals such as servo signals from a master medium to a slave medium, which is capable of preventing the occurrence of missing signals due to insufficient contact of the master medium and the slave medium originating from adhering of dust to the slave medium, thus increasing reliability. When the master medium bearing information signals and the slave medium are brought into close contacted with each other, and when a transfer magnetic field is applied to the master medium and the slave medium to magnetically transfer the information signal from the master medium to the slave medium, a metal thin film formed on a substrate of the master medium is electrically grounded, and charges of the master medium are removed, thus reducing a quantity of adhering dust.
