METHOD OF MANUFACTURING MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium includes depositing a magnetic recording layer and a sacrifice layer on a substrate, patterning the sacrifice layer and magnetic recording layer to form protruded magnetic patterns and sacrifice patterns, depositing a nonmagnetic material in recesses between the magnetic patterns and sacrifice patterns and on the sacrifice patterns, and etching back the nonmagnetic material.
