A magnetic recording medium using a substrate, such as a glass substrate, and having, in combination, superior magnetic and magnetic recording properties and good adhesion of a magnetic layer to the substrate. The magnetic recording medium has an intermediate layer of chromium between the substrate and an underlayer of Ni-based non-magnetic material on which a magnetic layer of Co-based magnetic alloy is superimposed. A method of producing the magnetic recording medium is also disclosed, wherein each of the layers is formed by a sputtering process at a sufficient pressure to promote granular growth of crystals of the layer.

A higher value of an anistropic magnetic feild can be acquired by using a magnetic material where Cr is not added as a material of a magnetic layer on which magnetic data is recorded. A magnetic recording medium can be manufactured through the processes of laminating an underlayer cosisting opf Cr-based non-magnetic material on a substrate, and then laminating, on this underlayer, a magnetic layer consisting of an alloy of at least one kind of non-magnetic material that is different from Cr and Co.

In a conductive plug forming method, a conductor layer is formed on the main surface of an insulator layer, only in the vicinity of a plurality of adjacent via holes in which plugs are to be formed, the conductor layer having a periphery defining a boundary encompassing the plurality of adjacent via holes. The volume of the material of the conductor layer within the boundary is of a predetermined amount, ranging from a minimum volume approximately equal to, to a maximum volume approximately equal to two times the total interior volume of the via holes. An energy beam is irradiated on the conductor layer to melt the conductor layer, so that the melted conductor material of the conductor layer flows toward and into the via holes, thereby forming a conductive plug in each of the via holes and without leaving any conductor layer material on the main surface of the substrate. The plurality of adjacent via holes may include at least first and second via holes of the same or different volume, and which may have the same or different depths in the insulator layer and/or areas in the plane of the main surface of the insulator layer. Multiple layer structures are disclosed which provide multiple layer interconnects and also include selectively positioned, reflective and/or energy absorptive layers for facilitating and selectively controlling the melting of the conductor layer while protecting other layers exposed to and irradiated by and/or otherwise heated by the irradiating energy beam.
