摘要:
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.

According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium includes depositing a magnetic recording layer on a substrate, forming masks on areas corresponding to recording regions of the magnetic recording layer, partially etching the magnetic recording layer in areas not covered with the masks with an etching gas to form protrusions and recesses on the magnetic recording layer, modifying the magnetic recording layer remaining in the recesses with Ne gas to form non-recording regions, and forming a protecting film on an entire surface.

According to one embodiment, there is provided a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium, the method including: depositing a magnetic recording layer on a substrate; forming a mask on a region of the magnetic recording layer corresponding to a recording area; irradiating another region of the magnetic recording layer where the mask is not formed with an ion beam using a C-containing gas as a source gas to deactivate the another region and to thereby form a non-recording area; and forming a protective film over an entire surface of the substrate.

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.
