Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize a writing magnetic domain by forming a vertically magnetized film essentially consisting of a rare earth metal and transition metal via an underlying layer consisting of a soft magnetic film and further forming the soft magnetic film on the vertically magnetized film. CONSTITUTION:The underlying layer 2 is formed by sputtering of Fe on a glass substrate and the vertically magnetized film expressed by the compsn. formula Tb0.18(Fe0.7Co0.3)0.82 is formed on the underlying layer; further, the soft magnetic film is formed by sputtering of Fe. The written magnetic domain is stabilized by closing the magnetic flux generated from the vertically magnetized film. The anisotropy of the thin film is thereby improved and coercive force is improved; further the demagnetization by the temp. rise in the reproduction stage is suppressed.
