A method of forming a fine pattern according to an embodiment includes: forming a hard mask on a substrate; forming a mask reinforcing member on the hard mask; forming a di-block copolymer layer on the mask reinforcing member, the di-block copolymer layer comprising a sea-island structure; forming a pattern comprising a concave-convex structure in the di-block copolymer layer, with island portions of the sea-island structure being convex portions; and transferring the pattern onto the hard mask by performing etching on the mask reinforcing member and the hard mask, with a mask being the pattern formed in the di-block copolymer layer. The mask reinforcing member is comprised of a material having an etching speed that is higher than an etching speed for the hard mask and is lower than an etching speed for sea portions of the sea-island structure of the di-block copolymer layer.

According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording medium includes a substrate, an auxiliary layer formed on the substrate, and at least one perpendicular magnetic recording layer formed on the auxiliary layer. The perpendicular magnetic recording layer includes a magnetic dot pattern. The perpendicular magnetic recording layer is made of an alloy material containing one element selected from iron and cobalt, and one element selected from platinum and palladium. This alloy material has the L10 structure, and is (001)-oriented. The auxiliary layer includes a dot-like first region covered with the magnetic dot pattern, and a second region not covered with the magnetic dot pattern. The first region is made of one metal selected from (100)-oriented nickel and (100)-oriented iron. The second region contains an oxide of the metal used in the first region.

According to one embodiment, an electroforming master comprises a patterns of protrusions and recesses formed on one major surface of an Si substrate having two major surfaces, corresponding to information for positioning of a read/write head (a preamble, address, and burst), recording tracks or recording bits. Impurity ions are doped in the surface of this patterns of protrusions and recesses. The impurity ion concentration distribution in the film thickness direction of the Si substrate has a peak in a portion from the patterns of protrusions and recesses surface to a depth of 40 nm in the film thickness direction. The impurity concentration of this peak is 1×1020 to 2×1021 ions/cm3.
