DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording medium made of a Co--Cr--W--C alloy film having excellent wear resistance.

題点がある。
It is known that perpendicular magnetic recording media made of sputtered Co-Cr alloys are excellent as high-density magnetic recording media. However, when a Co--Cr alloy layer is used as a magnetic recording medium, there is a problem that it has a large frictional resistance with a magnetic head, is easily subject to wear and damage, and lacks durability.

For this reason, it is possible to provide a wear-resistant or lubricating protective layer on the magnetic metal thin film.
Materials such as metal oxides have been tried. However, in high-density recording that requires perpendicular magnetic recording, the thickness of the protective layer becomes a problem.

That is, when a protective layer is provided, the spacing between the head and the medium increases, resulting in a decrease in output. Therefore, the thickness of the protective layer must be at most 500 Å or less, and in order to avoid spacing loss, it is necessary to limit the number of people to approximately 30 or less.From the viewpoint of wear resistance, the thickness of the protective layer must be sufficiently thick. It is extremely difficult to sufficiently improve the wear resistance with such a thickness.To solve this problem, it is necessary to improve the wear resistance of the magnetized film itself.One way to do this is to improve the wear resistance of the magnetic film itself. As a method, a thin film of an alloy consisting of C01CrSW and C is used as a magnetization film.

Methods for producing this alloy thin film by sputtering include (1) producing a sputtering target made of a quaternary alloy of Co-Cr-W-C and performing sputtering, or (2) sputtering a sputtering target of each element. It is conceivable to perform sputtering by a combination of so-called composite target methods.

In the above method, the carbon content is particularly important, and the physical properties of the formed thin film are subtly influenced by the carbon content in the film. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of carbon in the sputtering.

That is, the alloy target method (1) requires the precise and complicated work of producing a Co--Cr--W--C quaternary alloy target whose carbon content is strictly defined. Further, in the composite target method (2), a problem arises in that it is difficult to uniformly mix carbon into the film. Furthermore, as a method of mixing carbon, a method of mixing a carbon compound gas into the sputtering gas can be considered, but since elements such as hydrogen or oxygen are mixed in with the sputtering gas, it is difficult to obtain a good film.

According to the method of the present invention, a perpendicular magnetic recording medium with excellent wear resistance can be obtained by stably incorporating a small amount of carbon into the magnetized film. In the sputtering method, a thin film is formed on a substrate by sputtering target atoms in a plasma atmosphere. At this time, the surface of the substrate is also bombarded by atoms, and it is thought that a phenomenon similar to sputtering occurs to some extent. . The present invention utilizes this phenomenon, and is characterized in that carbon or carbide mixed into the substrate is sputtered to mix carbon into the magnetized film.
