Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the C/N by forming a transparent interference film having a refractive index of 2-3, an optomagnetic recording film and a protection film having a refractive index of >=3 on a transparent base made of glass or PMMA. CONSTITUTION:The transparent interference film 2 having a refractive index of 2-3 made of ZrO2 (or AlN), a GdTbFe recording film 3 and a protection film 4 having a refractive index of >=3 made of Si are formed on the transparent base 1 made of PMMA to constitute an optomagnetic information recording medium. The C/N is improved by using ZrO2 as the material of the interference film 2 and using Si as the material of the protection film 4.
