INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium. Conventional Structures and Their Problems Conventional magnetic recording media have come into practical use using magnetization in a direction parallel to the surface of the recording medium, that is, in an in-plane direction. However, in such a system that uses magnetization in the in-plane direction, the demagnetizing field within the recording medium increases when the recording wavelength is shortened, so there is a natural limit to high-density recording. Recently, a perpendicular magnetic recording system has been considered in which the demagnetization field within the medium at short wavelengths is reduced by utilizing magnetization in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the recording medium. On the other hand, magnetic recording requires a large amount of magnetic recording media due to the degree of its use, so even though it is a new medium, its productivity has been limited until it has been put into practical use.
It is desired that the performance is equivalent to or higher than that of a so-called coating type medium in which iron oxide fine particles are fixed onto a substrate with a binder. Therefore, regardless of in-plane magnetization or perpendicular magnetization, the electron beam evaporation method is considered promising. FIG. 1 is a main configuration diagram of an apparatus for manufacturing magnetic recording media by electron beam evaporation. In Fig. 1, 1 is a polymer substrate, 2 and 3 are cylindrical cans, 4 and 5 are evaporation source containers, 6 and 7 are evaporation materials,
8 is a mask, 9 and 10 are slits, 11 is a feeding shaft, and 12 is a winding shaft. 13 is a free roller. FIG. 2 is an example of a magnetic recording medium. In FIG. 2, 14 is a polymer substrate, 15 is a soft magnetic layer, 16 is a perpendicular magnetization layer, and 17 is a protective layer. Although high-density recording has been confirmed in small-area disks obtained by batch type media with such a configuration, this level has not yet been achieved on a mass production scale. In particular, the noise becomes large, and the actual situation is that the reproducibility between lots is not at a practical level due to variations within a lot. Such a medium may be produced in small quantities by high-frequency sputtering, which has an extremely low film formation rate; ) During manufacturing, there are still issues with forming a film while winding a polymer substrate, such as not achieving the high performance that can be achieved with the batch method. Purpose of the Invention The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium with less noise. Structure of the Invention The method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium of the present invention is characterized in that the width of the substrate is 1 m or more and the deposition is performed by winding, and is suitable for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium with less noise. DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. A limiting requirement of the manufacturing method of the present invention is that the width of the polymer substrate used in FIG. 1 is 1 m or more. Of course, this width limitation is not unrelated to the thickness of the polymer substrate, but one of the aims of high-density recording is the volume recording density and the magnetic recording medium that uses a thin film magnetic layer as the magnetic recording layer. is based on the premise that polymer substrates will not be designed with a thickness of 15 μm or more because they are suitable for thinning. The main reason for the existence of the critical width of 1m or more is to minimize the noise component caused by the influence of tension; by widening the width, the tension can be reduced per unit length in the width direction. It is believed that being able to make it smaller allows it to absorb non-uniformity in the physical properties of the substrate, thereby reducing stress unevenness in the thin film, helping to maintain magnetic uniformity, and reducing noise. Figure 3 shows this situation. It can be seen from Figure 3 that the linear tension density needs to be 100 [g/cm] for the influence of magnetostriction to become negligible. The reason why there is a wide range of characteristics is that the thickness of the substrate and the type of magnetic thin film are changed, but as long as the requirements of the present invention are satisfied, the characteristics are good within the range of substrates that can be used. It can be seen that good results can be obtained. The substrate that can be used in the present invention has a thickness of

etc., it can be used regardless of the direction of the axis of easy magnetization. Furthermore, the present invention is of course applicable not only to the production of magnetic tapes but also to the production of magnetic disks. An example will be described in more detail below. [Example] Prepare polyethylene terephthalate with different thicknesses and widths, form a soft magnetic layer of 0.4 μm consisting of 80% Ni-20% Fe, and coat a Co-Cr (Cr, 20%) perpendicular magnetization film on top of it. A magnetic tape was obtained by forming a 0.15 μm film and slitting it into a width of 8 mm. Each of these tapes is recorded and played back using a thin-film magnetic head with a return path, and signal-to-noise conversion (S/
N) was examined for changes in length and width. Regarding the appearance, we have described the causes of failure as a magnetic tape. Characteristics can be set arbitrarily in the width direction and longitudinal direction.
20 points were sampled and the variation is shown.

[Table] As is clear from the above table, the effect of the present invention is particularly large in the process of forming permalloy thin films.
With respect to S/N uniformity, anything other than the present invention cannot be put to practical use. The improvement effect of the present invention was also confirmed for a medium consisting of a single layer of perpendicular magnetization film and a medium consisting of a single layer of in-plane magnetization film. Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention can reduce the width of the polymer substrate by 1
By winding and vapor depositing with a tension of 100 g or less per unit width and length, it is possible to suppress the generation of noise due to distortion and mass produce magnetic recording media with improved S/N. Its practical effects are great.
