Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve durability and electromagnetic conversion characteristic by incorporating a specific range of oxygen atoms into an introducing gas at the time of forming a thin ferromagnetic metallic film on a high-polymer film moving along a rotating supporting body while introducing the gas from the outside. CONSTITUTION:The thin ferromagnetic metallic film is formed on the high- polymer film 3 moving along the rotating supporting body 2 while the gas contg. 10-40% oxygen atoms is introduced from the outside. An oxygen atom generator 8 of a vapor deposition device to be used is so disposed as to ionize gaseous oxygen by electric discharge, separate the ions of the oxygen atom electrostatically, pass the ions through a neutralized electron shower and allow such ions to make interaction with vapor flow as the neutral oxygen atoms. Since the atomic oxygen has high activity as mentioned above, the surface oxide layer of the fine columnar crystal particles constituting the thin ferromagnetic metallic film is securely formed by the fewer oxygen atoms and the durability is improved as well as the denser oxide film is obtd.

Among them, the magnetic recording layer obtained by oblique vapor deposition while introducing oxygen gas has excellent durability and is close to practical use if a substrate with many fine irregularities is used (U.S. Patent No. 4). , No. 564,549) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, even if the introduction position of the introduced gas is optimized or heated, it is difficult to obtain a large coercive force. Since the amount of introduced gas is large and the saturation magnetic flux density is also reduced, it is difficult to produce a medium with higher density, and improvements have been desired. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium that can improve durability and electromagnetic conversion characteristics at the same time.
