Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a magnetic recording medium with a magnetic film which has good C-axis orientation in a recording layer and can be formed easily at low temp. by providing an oriented film of Al-contg. spinel ferrite as a base layer for a magnetoplumbite-type ferrite recording layer. CONSTITUTION:The base layer 2 and the recording layer 3 are provided on a substrate 1 made of glass such as quartz, single crystal such as a Si wafer or GGG or metal such as Al. The base layer 2 is an Al-contg. spinel ferrite film oriented in (111) direction having magnetic characteristics at room temp. As for the recording layer 3, magnetoplumbite-type ferrite is used. Both of the base layer 2 and the recording layer 3 are formed by vacuum deposition, sputtering, etc. By this method, misfit of the base layer 2 and the recording layer 3 is avoided and good C-axis orientation in the recording layer can be obtained.
