Abstract

Discrete track media (DTM) with patterned servo-areas and recording tracks were fabricated on disk substrates in a two-step RIE process, creating a fine pattern transfer from an imprinted resist mask to a substrate surface without variations in groove depth. The fabricated DTM with perpendicular magnetic recording layers flew stably during read out signal detection.
