<p>A novel technique for manufacturing bit patterned media is disclosed, !n one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for manufacturing bit pattern media. The technique, which may be realized as a method comprising: forming a non- eataiysis region on a first portion of a catalysis Iayer; forming a non-magnetic separator on the non-catalysis region; and forming a magnetic active region on a second portion of the catalysis Iayer adjacent to the first portion of the catalysis Iayer.</p>
