TRANSFER APPARATUS, TRANSFER METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND MAGNETIC RECORDING APPARATUS

摘要

A transfer apparatus comprises: a master carrier on which a minute concave-convex shape is formed; a slave medium to which the concave-convex shape or transfer information expressed by the concave-convex shape is to be transferred; and a holder which holds the slave medium and to which the master carrier is fixed. In the transfer apparatus, the positioning of the master carrier and the slave medium is precisely performed, and the work for supplying the master carrier may be simplified. As a result, it is possible to perform the transfer operation with high efficiency and excellent productivity.
