Magnetic lithography using a flexible master: AZ method for instantaneous magnetic recording on media surfaces with flatness imperfections

Abstract

A method for instantaneous magnetic recording on media surfaces with flatness imperfections using a flexible master was reported. Magnetic lithography transfers information from a patterned magnetic mask to magnetic media and is effected by the size of the media and the critical dimensions of the magnetic disk. A flexible master, held against the media via an applied pressure offers superior compliance to imperfections.
