Method for producing magnetic recording medium, magnetic recording medium, produced by the production method, and mold structure for use in the production method

摘要

The present invention provides a method for producing a magnetic recording medium having servo areas and data areas using a mold structure having a plurality of convex portions, the method, including: forming an imprint resist layer on a surface of a substrate for the magnetic recording medium, forming a convexo-concave resist pattern in the formed imprint resist layer by pressing the plurality of convex portions of the mold structure against the imprint resist layer, and transferring magnetism to the servo areas in the magnetic recording medium by applying a magnetic field to the servo areas via the mold structure.
