Abstract:
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM A method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium includes the steps of (a) forming a perpendicular magnetic recording layer and (b) applying an ion beam to regions between tracks of the perpendicular magnetic recording layer so as to form separation regions for magnetically separating the tracks from each other. In the step (a), a continuous film layer composed of a multilayer film is formed, and CoB layers and Pd layers are laminated in the multilayer film. In the step (b), the CoB layers and the Pd layers are melted by the ion beam so as to form an alloy of metals contained in the CoB layers and the Pd layers to thereby form the separation regions.

Abstract:
A bidirectional optoelectronic device comprises a photodetector, a light source, and a drive circuit for the light source. The light source has first and second electrical leads for receiving an input electrical signal, and the drive circuit can be arranged to apply first and second portions of the input electrical signal to the first and second electrical leads, respectively, wherein the second portion of the input electrical signal is a scaled, inverted substantial replica of the first portion of the input electrical signal. A protective encapsulant can be applied that includes hollow dielectric microspheres to reduce electrical cross-talk, and that can further include an optical absorber to reduce optical cross-talk. A waveguide substrate of the device can include light collector(s) or trap(s) for redirecting and attenuating portions of optical signals propagating in waveguide layers on the substrate but not guided by a waveguide.
Abstract:
A method for making substrates for information recording media from a glass blank which exhibits excellent flatness and inhibits the occurrence of dent traces, even if the processing quantity is reduced by the thinning of the glass blank. Disclosed are a manufacturing method for a glass blank and a glass blank, having a disc-shaped thin part (10), and a thick part (12) provided so as to form projecting sections (12U, 12D) on both surfaces of the thin part (10) and along the peripheral edge thereof. In the diametrical direction of the thin part (10), the width (W1) in the radial direction of the projecting section (12D) on one surface side in the diametrical direction of the thin part is larger than the width (W2) in the radial direction of the projecting section (12U) on the other surface side. Further disclosed are a manufacturing method for a substrate for an information recording medium, and a manufacturing method for an information recording medium, both using said glass blank.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a glass substrate for information recording media. A uniform texture can be formed in a major surface of the glass substrate without degrading the smoothness of the major surface. The method comprises a step of forming a texture in a major surface of a disk-shaped glass substrate (11a) by lapping the major surface with a lapping member (33) while supplying an abrasive material onto the major surface. In the step, the glass substrate is reciprocated in a radial direction while rotating the glass substrate around its center at a predetermined rotational speed. The rotational speed, the reciprocating speed, and the reciprocation stroke are so determined that the locus of every particle (34) of the abrasive material (34) crosses itself at least at three points.

A functional optical device has cores which are trenches, different portions of the cores being formed from different core materials. The optical device can be formed by forming trenches 5,7,9 within a substrate (normally a substrate 1 covered by a cladding layer 3), covering at least part of at least one trench 7 with a cover 11, depositing a first cladding material to fill the trenches 5,9 which are not covered, removing the cover 11, depositing a second cladding layer 15 of a second cladding material to fill the trenches 7 which were previously covered, removing core material outside the trenches 5,7,9 and applying a cladding layer to cover the trenches.

The present invention provides a manufacturing method for magnetic disk glass substrates such that micro-waviness in a range of 50-150 μm in a profile can be reduced. In the present invention, the amount of sinkage into a polishing pad when a circular section of a cylindrical indenter with a diameter of 50 μm is pressed with a load of 2.5 mN from the surface of the polishing pad is measured consecutively on the polishing pad surface in 50 μm intervals at 12 points, and a polishing pad which has a standard deviation of 0.15 μm acquired from data for sinkage amounts for 10 points excluding the largest value and the smallest value of the acquired sinkage amounts is used in the polishing treatment.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method whereby not only the machining speed can be improved during a grinding process utilizing a stationary grinding wheel, but stable grinding can also be enabled. In the present invention, during a grinding process for grinding a main surface of a glass substrate, the main surface of the glass substrate is ground by using a grinding tool that has grinding abrasive grains, a binding material for binding the grinding abrasive grains together, and dispersed grains that are harder than the binding material yet softer than the grinding abrasive grains, wherein the grinding abrasive grains and the dispersed grains are bound together in a dispersed state in the binding material.
