摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide a manufacturing method which permits a high quality perpendicular magnetic recording medium to be manufactured with a high yield by preventing abnormal discharge which sputters particles from the target. In one embodiment, while the perpendicular magnetic recording medium is formed, DC pulses are applied to the target. During the reversal period (Reversal Time) between sputtering periods, a voltage of the opposite polarity is applied. During the sputtering period, a negative voltage is applied which biases the target surface to a negative potential, causing Ar+ to collide with and sputter CoCrPt and SiO2 for deposition on the intermediate layer. The top surface of the insulation material (SiO2) on the target is charged by Ar+ to have a voltage larger than the target voltage. However, arcing can be prevented since the charge on the surface of the insulation material is neutralized due to a positive voltage applied to the target during the non-sputtering period.

An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic recording medium which has a sufficient impact resistance to withstand its accidental collision with a magnetic head and is neither worn away nor fractured in the CSS area by contact or friction between the magnetic recording medium and the magnetic head even if the thickness of a protective filmy layer is reduced in the data area. In order to achieve this object, a magnetic film and a protective film are formed on a substrate, and for example, the other portion of said protective film than a portion where said protective film comes into contact with a magnetic head is made of not only carbon and nitrogen but also hydrogen for increasing the hardness of said protective film.

摘要:
A magnetic recording has very low warp characteristics but excellent film characteristics. Particularly, the recording medium has a high coercivity with a small range of coercivity distribution, with a warp characteristic below 3 .mu.m per radial inch. The medium is formed by heating a substrate at a high temperature with a temperature distribution on the substrate that is improved by the use of a heat distribution mask, which reduces the temperature distribution of the substrate to below .+-.3%.
