A magnetic recording medium is provided which has good recording/reproducing characteristics with a recording layer divided in a number of recording elements by a predetermined concavo-convex pattern, and a manufacturing method that enables efficient manufacture of such a magnetic recording medium. The magnetic recording medium includes a substrate, a soft magnetic layer formed over the substrate, a recording layer formed over the soft magnetic layer such as to have magnetic anisotropy in a direction perpendicular to surface, and being divided in a number of recording elements by a predetermined concavo-convex pattern, and a non-magnetic intermediate layer formed between the recording layer and the soft magnetic layer. The recording elements are formed to have a predetermined track shape in a data region.

A magnetic recording medium having high reliability is provided, in which concave portions between recording elements formed as convex portions of a concavo-convex pattern are approximately completely filled with a non-magnetic material. The magnetic recording medium is a plate-like body including: a substrate; a recording layer that is formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern over the substrate and includes recording elements for recording information formed as convex portions of the concavo-convex pattern; and the non-magnetic material filling concave portions between the recording elements. Side faces of the recording elements are inclined to face a surface of the plate-like body on a side toward which the recording elements 16 project in the concavo-convex pattern. An inclination angle of the side faces of the recording elements with respect to a direction perpendicular to that surface is smaller than 90° and 5° or more.

A perpendicular magnetic recording/reproducing device that can suppress broadening of recording magnetic fields and that is capable of effective application of magnetic field to a recording target track is provided. The device includes a magnetic recording medium having a soft magnetic layer and a recording layer having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy formed in this order over a substrate, and a magnetic head. The soft magnetic layer is formed with a concavo-convex pattern in which at least part of regions corresponding to tracks of the recording layer protrudes toward the recording layer, and convex portions are provided with the magnetic anisotropy in the circumferential direction of the tracks. The magnetic head includes a main pole for generating a recording magnetic field, and a return pole to which the magnetic field returns, the main pole and the return pole being arranged side by side in a track width direction.

A method for manufacturing an information recording medium, a method of transferring a concavo-convex pattern, and a transfer apparatus are provided which are capable of curing a resin material with reliability even when using a light-transmitting stamper repeatedly. A stamper made of a light-transmitting resin, having a predetermined concavo-convex pattern formed on its transfer area, is inspected for an optical characteristic. The stamper is brought into contact with an energy-ray curable resin material applied to an object to be processed, thereby transferring the concavo-convex pattern to the resin material, and the resin material is irradiated with an energy ray through the stamper so that the resin material cures. The stamper is used a plurality of times to repeat these steps a plurality of times, thereby manufacturing a plurality of information recording media.

A magnetic recording medium is provided that includes a recording layer having recording elements formed as convex portions and a filling material filled within the concave portions between the recording elements. The medium is highly reliable and has a surface less liable to damages when a magnetic head contacts the surface, so that good recording/reproducing characteristics are ensured. The magnetic recording medium includes a recording layer formed in a predetermined concavo-convex pattern over a substrate and having recording elements formed as convex portions in the concavo-convex pattern and a filling material filled within the concave portions between the recording elements. The filling material is substantially composed of Si and O, and the ratio of the number of O atoms to the number of Si atoms is equal to or more than 1.5 and less than 2.
