Magnetic transfer master disk, its manufacturing method and magnetic transfer method

1. A magnetic transfer master disk comprising:

a master substrate formed by a metal plate, on a surface of which a protruding and recessed pattern corresponding to transfer information is transferred by electroforming, the metal plate being composed of two or more electroforming layers that are different from each other in crystal orientation; and

a magnetic layer formed on the protruding and recessed pattern of the master substrate,

wherein the metal plate comprises two Ni electroforming layers, and

wherein of the two Ni electroforming layers, crystal orientation of a first layer constituting a surface side of the protruding and recessed pattern is preferentially oriented on Ni (220), and crystal orientation of a second layer is preferentially oriented on Ni (200).

2. The magnetic transfer master disk according to claim 1 , wherein each layer thickness of the two or more layers that are different from each other in crystal orientation, are different for each layer.

3. The magnetic transfer master disk according to claim 1 , wherein of the two Ni electroforming layers, when layer thickness of a first layer constituting the surface side of the protruding and recessed pattern is set to a, and layer thickness of the second layer is set to b, a/b is in the range of 0.1 to 0.25.

4. The magnetic transfer master disk according to claim 3 , wherein an amount of warpage of the magnetic transfer master disk is 50 μm or less in a master disc size of 2.5 inches in diameter.

5. The magnetic transfer master disk according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of warpage of the magnetic transfer master disk is 50 μm or less in a master disc size of 2.5 inches in diameter.

6. A magnetic transfer master disk comprising: a master substrate with a three layer structure of electroforming layers constituting a metal plate, on the surface of which a protruding and recessed pattern corresponding to transfer information is transferred by electroforming, in which three layer structure a first layer and a third layer have a same crystal orientation, and a second layer with a crystal orientation different from the crystal orientation of the first layer and the third layer, is sandwiched between the first layer and the third layer; and

a magnetic layer formed on the protruding and recessed pattern of the master substrate,

wherein at least one of the electroforming layers is a Ni electroforming layer,

wherein crystal orientation of the first layer and the third layer is preferentially oriented on Ni (220), and crystal orientation of the second layer is preferentially oriented on Ni (200).

7. The magnetic transfer master disk according to claim 6 , wherein each layer thickness of the first layer to the third layer which constitute the electroforming layer, is different for each layer.

8. The magnetic transfer master disk according to claim 6 , wherein when layer thickness of the first layer is set to a, and layer thickness of the third layer is set to c, a/(a+c) is in the range of 0.70 to 0.85.

9. The magnetic transfer master disk according to claim 8 , wherein the layer thickness relation is satisfied, and wherein the layer thickness of the third layer is 10 μm or more.

10. The magnetic transfer master disk according to claim 6 , wherein amount of warpage of the magnetic transfer master disk is 50 μm or less in a 2.5 inch master disk size in diameter.
