Provided is a medium fabrication technique, a recording medium and a hard disk drive, which achieve high recording density. To this end, (a) a magnetic layer is deposited on a substrate, and (b) a nano particle layer is deposited on the magnetic layer. Then, (c) the magnetic layer is etched by use of the nano particle layer as a mask, and (d) the nano particle layer is removed to form artificial magnetic grains, and thus an artificial granular magnetic recording medium is obtained.
