A carbon powder which can be used for the production of a sputtering target for forming a magnetic recording film, said carbon powder being characterized by having a fluorine content of 50 ppm by weight or more; and a sputtering target for forming a magnetic recording film, said sputtering target being characterized by being produced by a sintering method using the carbon powder. The present invention addresses the problem of enabling the production of a magnetic thin film having a granular structure without requiring the use of an expensive cosputtering device, and also addresses the problem of providing a highly dense sputtering target in which the amount of particles generated during sputtering is reduced. |
