FERROELECTRIC RECORDING MEDIUM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND METHOD OF PROCESSING INFORMATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ferroelectric recording medium capable of performing stable recording and reproduction even if a protective layer and a lubricant layer are formed on a ferroelectric recording layer.SOLUTION: A ferroelectric recording medium includes the ferroelectric recording layer on an electrode layer where an insulative layer is formed on the ferroelectric recording layer and a non-continuous electrically conductive coating portion is formed on the insulative layer. Information is recorded and reproduced on the basis of a scanning type nonlinear ferroelectric measurement method by using an electrically conductive probe. The non-continuous electrically conductive coating portion is manufactured by inversely sputtering an electrically conductive material film.
