METHOD OF RECORDING AND READING INFORMATION AND INFORMATION RECORDING DEVICE

摘要

A method and an information recording device can record, read, erase and overwrite information with a probe (4) at high density. While negative voltage is applied to a conductive probe (4) at the end of a cantilever (5) from a dc voltage power source (7), the conductive probe (4) which is in contact with a recording medium (3) is shifted. At a recording section, positive voltage is applied to the conductive probe (4) from a pulse voltage power source (8), and overwriting is carried out.
