MAGNETIZATION PATTERN FORMING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten processing time for forming the magnetization pattern of a magnetic recording medium, to reduce the occurrence of defective products, and to improve overall production efficiency. SOLUTION: This magnetization pattern forming device is provided with: a disk receiving base 652 on which a magnetic recording medium 100 is mounted; a transfer base 33 on which the magnetic recording medium 100 is temporarily mounted; a control mechanism for raising/lowering the disk receiving base 652; a mask main body 621 stacked on the magnetic recording medium 100 mounted on the disk receiving base 652 raised by the control mechanism; an energy beam irradiation device 51 for irradiating the magnetic recording medium with an energy beam 53 through the stacked mask main body 621; and magnetic field generation devices 61a and 61b for applying magnetic fields for magnetization pattern formation to the magnetic recording medium 100 through the stacked mask main body 621.
