MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM, PRODUCTION PROCESS THEREOF, MAGNETIC RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS, AND SPUTTERING TARGET

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a process for easily producing a magnetic recording medium exhibiting excellent magnetic characteristics. In the present invention, an orientation-determining film is formed on a non-metallic substrate which has undergone texturing, the orientation-determining film is subjected to oxidation or nitridation, and a non-magnetic undercoat film and a magnetic film are formed on the film.
