摘要:
A magnetic recording medium which has a recording layer of concavo-convex pattern and has high production efficiency, a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus which has the magnetic recording medium, a stamper for manufacturing the magnetic recording medium, a method of manufacturing the stamper, and a method of manufacturing the magnetic recording medium are provided. Part of servo areas of the recording layer are formed in an irregular servo concavo-convex pattern in which at least some of either concave portions or convex portions are divided in a radial direction as compared with those of a basic servo concavo-convex pattern, the basic servo concavo-convex pattern having concave portions consisting of concave unit areas corresponding to cell areas for recording either an information on 0 or an information on 1, and convex portions consisting of convex unit areas corresponding to the other cell areas for recording the other information.

A mask forming method forms an A mask forming functional layer with an amorphous structure so as to cover an etched body, forms a B mask forming functional layer so as to cover the formed A mask forming functional layer, forms a convex/concave pattern in the formed B mask forming functional layer by carrying out a predetermined process to form a B mask on the A mask forming functional layer, and forms an A mask on the etched body by forming a convex/concave pattern in the A mask forming functional layer by dry etching the A mask forming functional layer using the B mask. By doing so, a convex/concave pattern with extremely small pattern fluctuations can be formed in the A mask forming functional layer.

A method for forming a concavo-convex pattern that can form a fine and complex concavo-convex pattern such as that corresponding to servo information with high precision, a method for manufacturing a master disk, a method for manufacturing a stamper, and a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium using that method for forming a concavo-convex pattern are provided. A resin layer formed over a resin layer supporting member is processed into an irregular concavo-convex pattern in which a dividing convex portion is formed in a part of concave portions of a predetermined basic concavo-convex pattern and at least some of concave portions are divided as compared with corresponding concave portions of the basic concavo-convex pattern. A recording layer (the resin layer supporting member) is etched based on the resin layer to be processed into a concavo-convex pattern obtained by bringing the irregular concavo-convex pattern close to the basic concavo-convex pattern.

In a stamper which is used as a mold for pattern transfer, the problem is resolved in such a manner that at least the convex extreme surface of the stamper is formed of a material 110 with no crystalline peak in X-ray diffraction. Such a stamper can be manufactured by the method comprising the steps of forming a convex-concave pattern on a substrate, forming, on the convex-concave pattern, a layer of a material 110 with no crystalline peak in X-ray diffraction, and removing the layer of the material with no crystalline peak in X-ray diffraction from said substrate and convex-concave pattern in intimate contact with the layer.
摘要:
A pattern drawing method capable of drawing a pattern such that opposite ends of a formation region on an inner periphery side and an outer periphery side are substantially linearly formed. A drawing beam is intermittently irradiated N times onto a generally belt-shaped exposure area extending in a direction of rotation of the substrate from one end to the other end of the belt-shaped exposure area in the direction of rotation of the substrate, the belt-shaped exposure area being defined within a formation region, in which one of the convex or concave portions is to be formed, to thereby irradiate the drawing beam onto N generally belt-shaped irradiation areas extending in the direction of rotation of the substrate.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium on which servo information is recorded efficiently with a sufficient output amplitude for favorable read accuracy of the servo information. In servo areas, a magnetic layer is separated into a plurality of servo pattern unit parts forming a predetermined servo pattern and servo pattern peripheral parts/part surrounding the servo pattern unit parts. The servo pattern unit parts and the servo pattern peripheral parts/part are formed in different sizes so as to have different magnetic properties.

A manufacturing method for a magnetic recording medium stamp manufactures a magnetic recording medium stamp for manufacturing a discrete track-type magnetic recording medium. The manufacturing method includes a step of forming a convex/concave pattern in a resin layer formed on a support substrate, a step of forming a conductive film so as to cover the convex/concave pattern and then forming a metal film on the conductive film by carrying out a plating process, and a step of separating a multilayer structure composed of the conductive film and the metal film from the support substrate.
摘要:
A material having an amorphous structure is used as a ground material on which a resist layer is applied. After the resist layer is irradiated with an exposure electron beam to form latent images, the latent images are developed so that a predetermined line-and-space pattern is formed in the resist layer.
