摘要:
A method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium by using an in-line sputtering apparatus to successively form, on a substrate, at least one underlying layer, a first magnetic CoPt-based film, a nonmagnetic intermediate film, and a second magnetic CoPt-based film. The underlying film and/or the nonmagnetic film, which are in contact with the first magnetic film, are deposited at a low sputtering power between 100 and 1000 watts to improve the magnetic properties of the magnetic recording medium. Low power sputtering is also effective to improve the distribution of difference of the crystal lattice spacings between the nonmagnetic intermediate film and the first magnetic film and between the underlying layer and the first magnetic film.

A magnetoresistive element is used to detect a surface roughness of an object, such as a magnetic recording medium, a photomask blank, a semiconductor wafer, and is assembled into a reproducing head which moves along a surface of the object and which can produce an electric signal related to the surface roughness. The reproducing head may be incorporated with a recording head into a head unit. The head unit can monitor a magnetic characteristic of the magnetic recording medium in addition to detection of the surface roughness, by recording a predetermined signal by the recording head and by reproducing the predetermined signal by the reproducing head.

A disk substrate for a perpendicular magnetic recording medium comprises a disk base member, a soft magnetic layer formed on the disk base member, and a protection layer formed on the soft magnetic layer. The soft magnetic layer and the protection layer are deposited by sputtering. A perpendicular magnetic recording disk comprises the above-mentioned disk substrate and at least a perpendicular magnetic recording layer formed thereon. The perpendicular magnetic recording layer is deposited on the disk substrate by sputtering after the disk substrate is heated.

In a perpendicular magnetic recording medium which includes a substrate (1) of a nonmagnetic material, first and second nonmagnetic underlayers (4 and 5) formed on the substrate, and a perpendicular magnetic recording layer (6) formed on the first and the second nonmagnetic underlayers, the first nonmagnetic underlayer is made of an amorphous nonmagnetic metal material containing a metal element which forms a face-centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure by a simple substance. The second nonmagnetic underlayer is formed on the first nonmagnetic underlayer in contact with the first nonmagnetic underlayer and made of a nonmagnetic material containing a hexagonal close packed structure. The perpendicular magnetic recording layer is formed on the second nonmagnetic underlayer in contact with the second nonmagnetic layer.
