    摘要: A highly reliable magnetic recording medium is provided which has a recording layer formed in a concavo-convex pattern and wherein the recording layer is unlikely to cause a change in magnetic properties. The magnetic recording medium includes a substrate, a recording layer formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern over the substrate, convex portions of the concavo-convex pattern serving as recording elements; and a filler portion filling a concave portion between the recording elements. The filler portion comprises a metal-based main filler material and oxygen. Oxygen is unevenly distributed in the filler portion so that the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to the total of the number of atoms of the main filler material and the number of oxygen atoms is greater in an upper surface portion of the filler portion than in a lower portion of the filler portion.

    摘要: A filling material different from a first mask layer (temporary coating material) is deposited over a workpiece to fill concave portions. At least part of excess portions of the filling material is removed by a dry etching method such that at least part of the side surfaces of the first mask layer over recording elements are exposed. Then, the first mask layer is removed by a dry etching method which uses a reactive gas having the property of chemically reacting with and removing both the filling material and the first mask layer as a processing gas and in which an etching rate for the first mask layer is higher than that for the filling material, and the etching rate for the filling material is higher than that for a recording layer (a lower layer that is in contact with a lower surface of the first mask layer over recording elements).

    摘要: A method for efficiently manufacturing a magnetic recording medium by filling concave portions of a concavo-convex patterned recording layer with a filler to provide sufficient surface flatness is provided. A cladding is etched by a dry etching method in which an etch rate of the cladding is equal to or higher than an etch rate of the filler. Then, by dry etching method in which an etch rate of the filler is higher than that of the cladding, the filler is etched so that a top surface of a diaphragm over a recording element (or a top surface of the recording element in absence of the diaphragm) is exposed, and the cladding remains over the concave portion of the concavo-convex pattern of the recording layer.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium is provided which can sufficiently reduce variations in surface roughness even in the simultaneous presence of a region of a relatively wide concave and convex portion and a region of a relatively narrow concave and convex portion in the recording layer. The method includes the steps of etching a recording layer based on a (first) mask layer to process it in a concavo-convex pattern, and depositing a filler over the recording layer and the mask layer to fill a concave portion with the filler. In between those steps, provided is the step of removing part of the first mask layer over a recording element (a convex portion of the recording layer) by dry etching in which an etching rate for the mask layer is higher than that for the recording layer so that the mask layer remains over the recording element.
