According to one embodiment, in a method manufacturing a magnetic recording medium which is configured such that a ferromagnetic recording part is formed on a substrate in a desired track pattern or a desired bit pattern, a ferromagnetic film is formed on a substrate, and then a B thin film is formed on a region for isolating the ferromagnetic film between tracks or bits. Subsequently, ions are radiated on the B thin film, thereby increasing a B content of the region of the ferromagnetic film, on which the B thin film has been formed, and nonmagnetizing the region.

According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording medium is formed by performing gas ion irradiation by using a magnetism deactivating gas on a stack including a perpendicular magnetic recording layer, an Ru nonmagnetic underlayer containing a magnetism deactivating element selected from chromium, titanium, and silicon, and a nonmagnetic substrate. Before gas ion irradiation, the perpendicular magnetic recording layer contains platinum and at least one of iron and cobalt. Gas ion irradiation is performed using nitrogen gas alone or a gas mixture of nitrogen gas and at least one gas selected from the group consisting of helium, hydrogen, and B2H6.
