MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM SUBSTRATE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, AND MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Provided is a magnetic recording medium substrate suitable for preparation of a DT medium and a patterned medium, and the magnetic recording medium substrate is possible to be of easy preparation of the DT medium and the patterned medium with no complicated processes. Disclosed is a magnetic recording medium substrate comprising a circular plate-shaped substrate made of a nonmagnetic base material, wherein a predetermined region of a surface of the substrate to form a magnetic film on the surface is more roughened than another region of the surface. When forming a magnetic film on this substrate, the magnetic film is formed in the region of the substrate surface, which is more roughened than the other region, to easily prepare the DT medium and the patterned medium.
