Abstract

A novel magnetic contact duplication technique is proposed in order to write a servo signal on hard disks and floppy disks at a high speed and a low cost. In this technique a magnetic layer of a master disk is lithographically patterned in accordance with a servo signal, having low coercivity, and dc magnetic field is applied to a slave disk contacted with the master one. A computer simulation using finite element method shows that the pattern of the master disk can be duplicated on a slave. The possibility of duplication by using this technique is confirmed from experimental results in which a Bitter pattern of a duplicated slave medium is clearly observed.
