Abstract

A mold having a pattern of a concavo-convex surface including protrusion and recess is prepared and the pattern is transferred to a resist layer formed on a substrate by an imprinting method. The side surface of a protrusion of the transferred resist pattern is then etched so that the protrusion has a width narrower than a width of the corresponding recess formed to the mold. This resist pattern forming method is preferably applicable to a magnetic recording medium manufacturing method and a magnetic head manufacturing method.
