METHOD FOR PRODUCING MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a magnetic recording medium having improved characteristics, and having a laminated structure which includes a seed layer containing (Mg1-xTix)O and a magnetic recording layer containing an L10 ordered alloy. This method for producing a magnetic recording medium comprises: (1) a step in which a substrate is prepared; (2) a step in which a seed layer containing (Mg1-xTix)O is formed on the substrate; (3) a step in which the seed layer is plasma-etched within an atmosphere containing a noble gas; and (4) a step in which a magnetic recording layer containing an ordered alloy is formed on the seed layer subjected to step (3).
