Abstract

See full text

A texturing apparatus for applying a texturing to a magnetic recording medium, such as a magnetic disk including a hard drive. A substrate such as a magnetic disk is held by a substrate rotating system, which is capable of rotating the substrate. A movable laser beam source including an electro-optic modulation circuit directs a laser beam through a focusing element onto the surface of the substrate. The modulation circuit allows the laser beam to pulse at a frequency from 0.1 to 100 MHz. The focusing element allows a laser beam spot diameter of 0.2 to 4 .mu.m on the surface of the substrate. This texturing includes texturing the magnetic head contact start and stop (CSS) area of hard disks.
