摘要:
Instead of directly performing defect inspection using a master information carrier, an inspection substrate is prepared to then bring the master information carrier in close contact therewith, to thereby transfer a defect on the master information carrier to the inspection substrate, thus indirectly inspecting any defect of the master information carrier on the inspection substrate. Defect inspection is performed on the first-state inspection substrate before close contacting, so that a defect inspection result on the second-state inspection substrate after close contacting and that on the first-state inspection substrate are compared to each other.
摘要:
A master information carrier (2) with an arranged pattern formed of a ferromagnetic film in a shape corresponding to information signals is superposed on a magnetic recording medium (1) and the arranged pattern formed of a ferromagnetic film is magnetized with a magnetizing head (6), thus transfer-recording the arranged pattern into the magnetic recording medium as a magnetized pattern. The magnetizing head includes an annular magnetic circuit with a gap, and a strength of a magnetic field applied to the master information carrier by magnetic flux leaking from portions other than the gap is set to be 20% or less of that of a magnetic field applied to the master information carrier by magnetic flux leaking from the gap. Quality deterioration due to various conditions during recording can be prevented and uniform recording with less variation depending on position on the magnetic recording medium is achieved.

A master information carrier capable of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium in which a preformat recording of information signals causing no reproduction signal detection errors arising from a pulse shift of a reproduction waveform is performed. A master information carrier 1 has an array of ferromagnetic thin films 3 arranged according to the pattern of information signals and is used for forming magnetization 4 of a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of the ferromagnetic thin film 3 in a magnetic recording medium by applying a magnetic field while opposing the master information carrier 1 against a magnetic recording medium 2. Each of the ferromagnetic thin films 3 is formed such that each pattern length A becomes equal to a length including a correction amount α in addition to a length a between magnetic transition areas 6 of the magnetization 4 to be formed in the magnetic recording medium 2.

摘要:
A magnetic transcription device for transcribing information signals of a master information carrier in a magnetic recording medium by applying a magnetic field generated by magnetic field generating means to a contact body obtained by contacting the master information carrier having a base on which ferromagnetic bodies corresponding to the information signals are formed with a magnetic recording medium having a ferromagnetic layer, wherein the magnetic recording medium includes driving means for adjusting a distance between the magnetic field generating means and the contact body while rotating the magnetic field generating means relative to the contact body. Accordingly, an external magnetic field can be applied and removed for transcription of the information signals of the master information carrier in the magnetic recording medium while rotating the magnetic field generating means relative to the contact body, so that the deterioration of reproduction signals from the magnetic recording medium can be prevented.

摘要:
A master-information magnetic recording apparatus for recording preformat information signals into a magnetic recording medium using a ferromagnetic film pattern formed on a master information carrier, in which the pattern corresponds to the preformat information signals. With the master information carrier in contact with the magnetic recording medium, the ferromagnetic film pattern is magnetized by a magnetic field applying device. Thus, the preformat information signals are recorded into the magnetic recording medium. The magnetic field applying device is so constructed that the direction of magnetizing the ferromagnetic film pattern is perpendicular to a track-scanning orbit of a magnetic head in a recording and reproducing apparatus in which the magnetic recording medium is installed. It enables the magnetic head to gain sufficient reproduction amplitude for track-scanning for reproducing the information signals.
