Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a master medium which bears information, and is used in a process of magnetically transferring the information from the master medium to a slave medium.
  • the so-called tracking servo technique plays an important role in realizing a high-density flexible disk having great capacity. Due to the tracking servo technique, a magnetic head can move precisely within a narrow track width, and a signal can be regenerated with a high S/N ratio.
  • a so-called preformat including tracking servo signals, address information signals, regeneration clock signals, and the like is recorded on the track of the disk in such a manner that the signals constituting the preformat appear at predetermined intervals during each rotation of the disk.
  • the magnetic head is arranged so that the magnetic head can move precisely on the track by reading the signals in the preformat and correcting its own position.
  • the preformat is produced by recording the signals on each disk on a track-by-track basis by using a dedicated servo recording apparatus.
  • a dedicated servo recording apparatus it takes a long time to record the preformat by using the servo recording apparatus. Therefore, the cost of the preformat recording forms a considerable proportion of the total manufacturing cost, and thus reduction of the preformat recording cost is required.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications Nos. 63 (1988)-183623, 10 (1998)-40544, and 10 (1998)-269566 disclose techniques of recording a preformat by magnetic transfer, instead of recording signals constituting the preformat on the track-by-track basis.
  • the above patent publications do not substantially disclose concrete procedures. In particular, conditions of the magnetic fields which are applied during magnetic transfer and constructions of apparatuses for generating the magnetic fields are not disclosed.
  • JUPP63 (1988)-183623 and JUPP10 (1998)-40544 disclose methods of recording magnetization patterns corresponding to information signals on a magnetic recording medium (as a slave medium).
  • a master medium is prepared for magnetic transfer.
  • the master medium is produced by forming relieved portions having shapes corresponding to the information signals on a surface of a substrate, and further forming a thin magnetic film at least on the relieved portions of the substrate.
  • the slave medium has the form of a sheet or disk, and includes a thin ferromagnetic film or a magnetic-powder layer.
  • the magnetic transfer is achieved by placing the slave medium in close contact with the magnetic film of the master medium, and applying an AC or DC bias magnetic field to the master medium so as to excite the magnetic material (thin film) formed on the relieved portions of the master medium.
  • the magnetization patterns corresponding to the relieved portions of the master medium are recorded on the slave medium.
  • the relieved portions of the master medium are placed in close contact with the slave medium which is to be preformatted, and the magnetic material on the relieved portions are concurrently excited so as to record the predetermined patterns on the slave medium, the patterns can be statically recorded on the slave medium without changing the relative positions of the master medium and the slave medium.
  • the preformat can be precisely recorded, and the time needed for the preformatting is very short.
  • the above methods of recording magnetization patterns by magnetic transfer are used for recording servo signals on a magnetic recording medium (as a slave medium)
  • the 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch magnetic recording mediums have diameters of 3.5 and 2.5 inches, respectively. Since the servo patterns respectively indicate addresses of information items, the respective servo patterns must be different.
  • Micropatterns as mentioned above can be recorded by the lithography techniques which are conventionally used in manufacturing semiconductor devices or magnetic heads.
  • the lithography techniques an original image is reduced in order to increase accuracy. Therefore, the area which can be exposed by each exposure shot is limited to about 2 cm square.
  • the large-size pattern includes an array of identical patterns. That is, it is difficult to form the servo patterns on a magnetic recording medium by using the above lithography techniques since the servo patterns are respectively different.
  • the master medium is placed in close contact with the slave medium during the magnetic transfer operation. Therefore, when the magnetic transfer operation is performed a number of times, the relieved patterns representing information wear down, and therefore the accuracy of the magnetic transfer decreases. Further, when dust exists between the master medium and the slave medium, the dust may scratch the surfaces of the relieved portions of the master medium. In these cases, the master medium must be replaced. Therefore, it is desirable that the master medium is easy to produce, and inexpensive.
