Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, in the planarization process, the entire non-magnetic material 102 is removed, and the unevenness of the surface gradually becomes uniform. Therefore, if the film thickness of the non-magnetic material is thin, the unevenness of the surface will be reduced. The uniform effect of the planarization process is substantially shortened, as Figure 17 As shown in (B), even if the non-magnetic material 102 is removed to the upper surface of the recording layer 104, the unevenness of the surface of the non-magnetic material 102 may not be sufficiently uniform in some cases. Therefore, in order to make the surface uniform, it is necessary to deposit non-magnetic material thickly. magnetic material
[0009] In addition, if a thick non-magnetic material film is formed, the planarization process will be substantially longer, but there is a problem that the use efficiency of the material will decrease and the cost will increase.
In addition, there is a problem that the production efficiency decreases due to the long time of the planarization process.
Furthermore, the film thickness of the non-magnetic material tends to vary at a constant rate from the portion on the substrate, and when a thick non-magnetic material film is formed, the film thickness distribution (difference in film thickness) of the non-magnetic material changes accordingly. Therefore, the flattening effect of the surface due to the formation of a thick non-magnetic material film is reduced, or the surface cannot be sufficiently flattened in the planarization process, and conversely sometimes increases the unevenness of the surface of the magnetic recording medium

example 1

[0112] Ten magnetic recording media 30 were manufactured using In as the non-magnetic material 36 as in the first embodiment described above. Specifically, after the In film was formed on the surface of the workpiece 10 on which the recording layer 32 was formed in a concave-convex pattern on the substrate 12 by the sputtering method, the workpiece 10 was rotated for about 5 minutes and heated at 200° C. Maintaining and heating in a temperature environment makes the surface of In uniform. Next, while adding a small amount of Si particles to the surface of In, the object 10 to be processed is maintained and cooled in a normal temperature environment, whereby In is solidified. Further, Ar gas is irradiated from a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the object 10 to remove In until the surface of the recording element 32A is exposed, thereby flattening the surface of the object 10 to be processed. Furthermore, the protective layer 38 and the lubricating layer...

[0114] In contrast to Example 1, ten magnetic recording media 30 were manufactured using ultraviolet curable resin instead of In as the non-magnetic material 36 . Specifically, after forming a film of ultraviolet curable resin on the surface of the workpiece 10 on which the recording layer 32 is formed in a concavo-convex pattern on the substrate 12 by the spin coating method, the ultraviolet curable resin is cured by irradiating ultraviolet rays for about 5 minutes. Further, Ar gas is irradiated from a direction approximately perpendicular to the surface of the object 10 to remove the ultraviolet curable resin until the surface of the recording element 32A is exposed, thereby flattening the surface of the object 10 to be processed. Other conditions are the same as in Example 1 above. A test of the maximum level difference was performed on the surface of the magnetic recording medium 30 obtained by the above method, and the result was that the maximum level difference was 1 nm...

example 3

[0116] As in the second embodiment above, the SiO 2 As the non-magnetic material 37, ten magnetic recording media 30 were manufactured. Specifically, a film of SiO was formed on the surface of the workpiece 10 on which the recording layer 32 was formed on the substrate 12 in a concavo-convex pattern by sputtering. 2 Then, while rotating the workpiece 10, the SiO 2 A resist material is filmed on the surface. Next, Ar gas is irradiated from a direction approximately perpendicular to the surface of the object to be processed 10 to remove the resist material and SiO2. 2 The surface up to the recording element 32A is exposed, and the surface of the object 10 to be processed is flattened. In addition, Ar gas was irradiated under the condition that the resist material was maintained in a fluid state and solidification did not occur. Furthermore, the protective layer 38 and the lubricating layer 40 were formed, and ten magnetic recording media 30 were manufactured. The surface of...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium and a magnetic recording medium, by which a magnetic recording medium having a recording layer formed in a concavo-convex pattern and having a sufficiently flat surface can be efficiently and reliably manufactured. In a method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium, a non-magnetic material (36) in which a material in a fluid state and a solidified state can be selected is used, and a recording layer (32) is formed on a glass substrate (12) in a concave-convex pattern. On the surface of (10), a non-magnetic material (36) is formed in a fluid state, and then the non-magnetic material (36) is solidified.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium in which a recording layer is formed in a concavo-convex pattern, and to the magnetic recording medium. Background technique [0002] So far, magnetic recording media such as hard disks have achieved a significant increase in areal recording density through miniaturization of magnetic particles constituting the recording layer, changes in materials, and miniaturization of magnetic head processing. recording density. [0003] However, problems such as side fringe and crosstalk caused by the processing limit of the magnetic head and the diffusion of the magnetic field have become apparent, and the improvement of the areal recording density by the conventional improvement method is approaching the limit. Therefore, as a candidate for a magnetic recording medium that can further increase the areal recording density, a discrete magnetic recording medium ( For example, ...
