Zusammenfassung:A patterned disk for a hard disk drive. The patterned disk includes a magnetic material over a substrate. The magnetic material includes a plurality of grooves. The grooves are filled with a lubricant that is hardened with UV exposure or some other hardening process. The lubricant provides a protective cover for the magnetic material exposed by the grooves. The use of lubricants in the fabrication of disks is known, thus the process does not introduce a process step that requires special equipment and/or process development.
