<p>Provided is a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium, with which it is possible to manufacture with high productivity a useful magnetic recording medium having a high degree of surface smoothness and excellent head floating characteristics. In this type of method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium (30), ions are partially injected into a magnetic layer (3) after the magnetic layer (3) is formed on a nonmagnetic substrate (1), thereby modifying the magnetic characteristics at locations where ions have been injected into the magnetic layer (3) and forming a magnetically separated magnetic recording pattern (3a). When ions are partially injected into the magnetic layer (3), a carbon film is formed on the surface of the magnetic layer (3) and the thickness of the carbon film is partially thinned due to patterning, and ions are then partially injected into the magnetic layer (3) through the locations where the carbon film has been thinned.</p> |
