Information recording medium, recording/reproducing apparatus, and stamper

Abstract

On an information recording medium, a data track pattern and a servo pattern composed of a concave/convex pattern including a plurality of convex parts are formed on at least one surface side of a substrate and respective concave parts in the concave/convex pattern are filled with non-magnetic material. In the concave/convex pattern that constructs the data track pattern, the respective convex parts are formed concentrically or in a spiral. The concave/convex pattern that constructs the servo pattern is divided into a plurality of ring-shaped regions that are concentric with the data track pattern and has a unit convex part length along a direction of rotation of the substrate set in each ring-shaped region so that a value produced by dividing an average length of the unit convex part length in each ring-shaped region by a distance from a center of the data track pattern to the ring-shaped region decreases from ring-shaped regions in an inner periphery to ring-shaped regions in an outer periphery.
