In order to realize a high-density recording medium, it is necessary to improve the magnetic properties (higher coercive force, higher magnetic flux density, squareness, etc.) of the medium material and to make the medium thinner. In order to meet these demands, continuous oxide thin film magnetic media made by reactive sputtering etc., which are easy to thin films, control magnetic properties, and have excellent corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance, are replacing conventional coated media. It has been developed and has achieved good characteristics as a high-density recording medium.

The oxide medium film formation process uses, for example, an Fe-Co alloy as the recording material and an oxidizing atmosphere in which a mixed gas containing argon [Ar] and oxygen [O] is introduced into a chamber (airtight chamber) in a vacuum device. Reactive sputtering is performed to form an oxide film such as α-Fe 2 O 3 or Fe 3 O 4 to a predetermined thickness by adjusting the oxygen partial pressure on the Al alloy substrate placed on the opposite side.
In the case of Fe 2 O 3 film, Fe 3 O 4 is removed in a reducing atmosphere such as hydrogen.
A γ-Fe 2 O 3 oxide film is formed as shown in FIG. 1 by heat treatment in air. This oxide film also has good adhesion to the substrate.

If we look closely at the causes of this, we can see that it is due to the flatness of the substrate (roughness, undulations, etc. on the substrate surface),
Causes include segregation of the substrate material, insufficient substrate cleaning, poor adhesion of the magnetic film and peeling, and foreign matter such as dirt and dust adhering during the film formation process. There are cases where the magnetic film thickness has decreased as shown in Figure 2b, or the magnetic film has peeled off due to foreign matter falling off as shown in Figure 2b. It turns out that there is a great deal of dependence.

When forming a film in a chamber, foreign matter adheres to the film not only to the substrate on which it is to be formed, but also to all parts, such as the jig that holds the substrate or the inner wall of the chamber. . These films deposited on surfaces other than the substrate gradually accumulate, and some of them peel off and adhere to the substrate and the magnetic film formed on the substrate, causing defects after film formation. Therefore, in order to reduce film formation defects due to foreign matter adhesion, it is necessary to keep all parts of the chamber free of deposits at all times. However, this is almost impossible in practice, and even if such an environment were to be obtained, the use of the apparatus would have to be stopped for a long period of time, which would significantly reduce productivity, which is undesirable.

The film formation process for forming a magnetic film is performed in multiple steps, and during the film formation process divided into multiple steps, foreign matter removal is performed to remove foreign substances attached to the magnetic film. It lies in carrying out the process. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

On the surface of the substrate 1 shown in FIG. 3, a magnetic film 2 is formed into n divisions to a predetermined thickness, for example, 2000 Å. Now, as an example of the present invention, a case will be described in which the film is formed in four steps of 500 Å each. First, in FIG. 3, in the first film formation, a magnetic film 2 is formed on the surface of a substrate 1 to a thickness of 500 Å. In this case, foreign matter adhering to the substrate or foreign matter 3 flying and adhering to the surface of the magnetic film 2 during the film forming process.

The foreign matter 3 adhering to the surface of the magnetic film 2 in this way is removed by a removal process. The removal process involves blowing it away with high-pressure gas, wiping it with a sponge or dust-free cloth, etc. on a part of the rotating board, and then removing it from the chamber and scrubbing it with clean water using a sponge, etc. There is also a method of washing with a dip using a cleaning solution, but in order to ensure removal, degrease with a degreaser, then wash with pure water, dip in Freon to remove foreign substances, and finally use Freon steam. A method of washing and drying is performed.

FIG. 4 shows a cross section where foreign matter has been removed by the above-mentioned removal process, and a depression 4 is formed after the foreign matter has been removed. However, the depressions 4 created by removing such foreign matter are gradually smoothed out in the next film forming process and become almost unaffected.

In this case as well, it is conceivable that foreign matter 3' may adhere as in the case of film formation described above.

In this way, Figure 3 and Figure 4 each have 500
As shown in FIG. 7, by forming a magnetic film with a thickness of 2000 Å, a magnetic film with a predetermined thickness of 2000 Å is formed by four layers of magnetic films 2, 2', 2'', and 2, as shown in FIG. It goes without saying that the larger the number of divisions, the greater the effect, but since it reduces manufacturability, it is preferable to have as few divisions as possible.However, if the number of divisions is increased, the magnetic The membrane becomes thinner,
Therefore, the temperature rise of the substrate that occurs during film formation is reduced, so there is an advantage that the power during film formation can be increased and the film formation speed can be accelerated.

FIG. 8 shows the effect of the magnetic recording medium obtained by the manufacturing method of the present invention, and is compared with a conventional single layer film. That is, in this case, the magnetic film defects were tested using an error tester when the film was divided into three layers and the average reproduction output voltage was set to 100, and the slice level was changed. The number of defects per surface (number of missing errors) and the number of defects per surface (number of extra errors) are shown by setting the reproduction output voltage after DC demagnetization to 0 and changing the slice level for pulses generated above that value. The former mainly depends on film thickness variations, and the latter mainly depends on dents, pinholes, etc.

In the above explanation, the oxide medium formed by reactive sputtering divides the film formation process and a foreign matter removal process is inserted between them, but these applications are performed in an airtight chamber. The same method can be used for other thin film forming methods, such as vapor deposition, ion blating, and CVD methods, as well as for metal magnetic media, if the purpose is the same as the present invention.
