简介 |
The present invention provides a method for easily obtaining a perpendicular magnetic recording medium having the desired magnetic properties by sputtering, and a magnetic recording medium obtained by this method. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium of the present invention is a perpendicular magnetic recording medium comprising at least a soft magnetic underlayer, an underlayer, a magnetic recording layer, a protective layer, and a liquid lubricant layer sequentially laminated on a nonmagnetic substrate, wherein the magnetic recording layer is a rare earth-transition metal alloy amorphous film formed by sputtering, and the formation of the magnetic recording layer by sputtering is performed using a film-forming gas incorporating 2% or more, but 60% or less of an H2 gas. The present invention also discloses a method for producing the perpendicular magnetic recording medium. |
