According to one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium includes forming patterns having protrusions and recesses of a ferromagnetic material onto a recording track section and a servo section on a substrate, forming a flattening film, a top surface of which is higher than that of the protrusion of the ferromagnetic material, onto the ferromagnetic material, and performing ion beam etching onto the flattening film up to a top surface of the protrusion of the ferromagnetic material, and determining an end point of flattening etching on the basis of a change in the total number of incident particles by means of an ion counter installed so as to be at an angle θ with respect to a perpendicular direction to the substrate in accordance with a material of the flattening film.

A magnetic recording medium includes a non-magnetic substrate; a soft magnetic layer which is formed on the non-magnetic substrate and which includes projected parts arranged on the surface thereof and recessed parts surrounding each of the projected part; and a ferromagnetic layer which is formed on the soft magnetic layer and which includes projected parts and recessed parts reflecting the projected parts and the recessed parts of the soft magnetic layer.

A magnetic recording medium has a RAM region and a ROM region. The RAM region includes a plurality of first tracks each having a first magnetic portion. The first magnetic portions in adjacent tracks are separated from each other. The ROM region includes a plurality of second tracks each having a second magnetic portion. A width of the second magnetic portions in a direction perpendicular to a track direction of the first tracks is larger than that of the first magnetic portions in the perpendicular direction.
