A magneto optic recording medium comprising a substrate, an amorphous magnetizable rare earth-transition metal alloy layer, a transparent dielectric layer on at least one side of the magnetizable layer, and a reflective surface located to reflect light through the magnetizable alloy layer. The dielectric layer is comprised of silicon carbide of the formula SiCx, wherein x, the molar ratio of carbon to silicon, is greater than 1. The dielectric layer is preferably deposited by direct current magnetron sputtering at low argon partial pressure from an electrically conductive mixture of silicon carbide and carbon. The medium exhibits similar or improved characteristics over media constructed with present dielectrics, for example, silicon suboxide (SiOy, y<2).
