Abstract

A production method of a magnetic recording medium of the present invention includes: a step of forming a magnetic layer ( 2 ) on a non-magnetic substrate ( 1 ); a step of forming a dissoluble layer ( 3 ) on the magnetic layer ( 2 ); a step of forming a mask layer ( 4 ) on the dissoluble layer ( 3 ); a step of patterning the dissoluble layer ( 3 ) and the mask layer ( 4 ) to a shape corresponding to a magnetic recording pattern ( 2 a ); a step of performing a partial modification or removal of the magnetic layer ( 2 ) by use of the patterned mask layer ( 4 ); and a step of dissolving the dissoluble layer ( 3 ) with a chemical agent so as to remove the dissoluble layer ( 3 ) together with the mask layer ( 4 ) formed thereon from the top of the magnetic layer ( 2 ), wherein the magnetic recording medium has the magnetically-separated magnetic recording pattern ( 2 a ).

Claims (8)

1. A production method of a magnetic recording medium, which has a magnetically-separated magnetic recording pattern, comprising:

a step of forming a magnetic layer on a non-magnetic substrate;

a step of forming a dissoluble layer on the magnetic layer, wherein the dissoluble layer comprises a combination of a CrTi layer on a molybdenum layer;

a step of forming a mask layer on the dissoluble layer;

a step of patterning the dissoluble layer and the mask layer to a shape corresponding to the magnetic recording pattern;

a step of performing a partial modification or removal of the magnetic layer by use of the patterned mask layer; and

a step of dissolving the patterned dissoluble layer with at least one chemical agent selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen peroxide solution, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid so as to remove the patterned dissoluble layer together with the patterned mask layer formed thereon from the top of the magnetic layer.

2. The production method of a magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical agent is the hydrogen peroxide solution.
