摘要
Prospects for bit patterned media (BPM) of more than 1 Tb/in(2) are discussed. Improvement in the pattern drawing for small feature size and high precision is necessary for fabrication process. Deviation in the magnetic properties should be estimated and reduced. The etching damage seems not to be large. Design of the substructure of the magnetic dot is necessary for reducing the deviation. BPM is also a good template for technologies to increase the recording density. Combination of BPM with heat-assisted recording or exchange-coupled layers is advantageous for high-density recording.
