METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PATTERNED MAGNETIC MEDIA WITH OFFSET DATA AND SERVO REGIONS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a patterned magnetic media with offset data and servo regions.;SOLUTION: This invention provides a method for manufacturing a patterned magnetic media. The method allows both a data region and a servo region to be patterned without the patterning of one region adversely affecting the patterning of the other region. The method results in a patterned data region, a patterned servo region and intermediate regions between the servo and data regions. The intermediate regions, which are most likely, but not necessarily, asymmetrical with one another, indicate that the method has been used to pattern the media.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
