2. Description of the Related Art Cr, W, Mo or an alloy film containing them as a main component is formed as a base film on a non-magnetic substrate by a method such as a sputtering method, and Co-Cr-Ta, C is formed on the base film.
A magnetic recording medium having an alloy film such as o-Ni-Cr or Co-Cr-Pt formed is currently used as a magnetic recording medium capable of high density recording. In recent years, magnetic disk devices for computers have been strongly required to have a large capacity, but in order to achieve a large capacity, it is necessary to increase the recording density of a magnetic recording medium. To increase the recording density,
A substrate having a smooth surface and a magnetic recording medium having a high coercive force and a low noise are required in order to reduce the flying height of the magnetic head. By the way, conventionally, an aluminum substrate has been used as a substrate for a magnetic recording medium, but it has been considered to use a non-magnetic substrate such as glass, ceramic, or carbon as a substrate having more excellent smoothness.

When an aluminum substrate is used, it is usually several 10 μm
NiP plating layer is formed on the surface of the magnetic head to reduce the contact area with the magnetic head to reduce the coefficient of friction, and a so-called texture treatment is performed on the surface of the NiP plating layer. A magnetic recording medium is manufactured by laminating a film and a protective film. However, when a metal substrate is used, the surface of the magnetic recording medium cannot be perfectly smoothed due to protrusions and minute undulations existing on the surface of the metal substrate, and when the flying height of the magnetic head is reduced, the head and the magnetic recording medium are reduced. Cause a collision, and the magnetic recording medium is destroyed. Further, the texture treatment impairs the smoothness of the substrate surface, which hinders the reduction of the flying height of the magnetic head. Therefore, in the magnetic recording medium using the metal substrate, the flying height of the magnetic head cannot be reduced so much that the recording density is limited. On the other hand, in the case of glass, ceramic, carbon substrate, etc., sufficient smoothness can be obtained as compared with the case of using a metal substrate, but it is high if a Cr underlayer or magnetic film is directly formed on the glass, ceramic, carbon substrate or the like. Coercive force is often not obtained. Therefore, T on these substrates
Metals such as i, Mo, Zr, Al, Mn, W, Si and Si
A non-magnetic film of oxide or nitride such as O 2 , Al 2 O 3 , TiN or AlN is formed, and a Cr underlayer film, a magnetic film,
A magnetic recording medium has been proposed in which protective films are laminated in order and the coercive force is slightly improved. (JP-A-2-29923) However, although such a method can increase the coercive force, it cannot reduce the noise of the medium and the recording density cannot be increased. It is considered that the main cause of medium noise is the zigzag domain wall in the magnetization transition region, and it is considered effective to magnetically isolate magnetic particles in order to reduce medium noise.

(JP-A-3-125322). With this method, it is impossible to reduce the flying height of the head by impairing the original smoothness of the glass substrate due to texturing.

Next, the specific manufacturing of the magnetic recording medium will be described. After cleaning a crystallized glass substrate having an outer diameter of 65 mm, an inner diameter of 20 mm, a thickness of 0.635 mm, and a surface roughness of 30 A (angstrom), the crystallized glass substrate was evacuated to 5 × 10 −7 Torr or less using a DC magnetron sputtering device.

Each of the above substrates was placed in a DC magnetron sputtering apparatus, exhausted to 5 × 10 -7 Torr or less, each substrate was heated at 300 ° C. for 10 minutes, Ar gas was introduced, and the gas pressure during discharge was set. Is maintained at 10 mTorr, a Cr underlayer film is formed on each substrate at 1000 A (angstrom) under the conditions of an input power of 1 kW and a film formation rate of 360 A (angstrom) / min, and then a CoNiCr alloy film is continuously formed at 500 A (angstrom). did.

Next, the coercive force of the magnetic recording medium when the Cr intermediate film thickness in the above example was changed was measured using a Kerr loop tracer. The result is shown in FIG. As can be seen from this figure, when the Cr intermediate film thickness is less than 50 A (angstrom), the intermediate film is too thin to obtain a high coercive force. It is considered that this is because the intermediate film is too thin to prevent the generation of gas such as water from the glass substrate during heating when forming the Cr underlayer film and the magnetic film. Further, it can be seen that if the film thickness is 50 A (angstrom) or more, the coercive force does not depend on the film thickness of the intermediate film and has a substantially constant value.

Next, the surface shape of each substrate after polishing when the Cr intermediate film thickness was changed was observed using STM. The results are shown in Table 1. As can be seen from this table, when the Cr intermediate film thickness is 500 A (angstrom) or less even after polishing with loose abrasive grains, the surface of the substrate has no groove-like unevenness like that of a textured aluminum substrate. It can be seen that the surface roughness is almost the same as the surface roughness of the substrate, and the smoothness of the glass substrate is maintained. However, the same observation was made for a magnetic recording medium having a Cr intermediate film thickness of 1000 A (angstrom). As a result, groove-like irregularities were formed on the substrate surface, the surface roughness was increased, and the smoothness of the glass substrate was improved. It turned out to be damaged.

From the above results, the thickness of the non-magnetic metal intermediate film on the non-magnetic substrate of the magnetic recording medium of the present invention is set to 50 A (angstrom) or more and 500 A (angstrom) or less. (Example 1) Example 1 is a nonmagnetic metal intermediate film made of the Cr film having a thickness of 500 A (angstrom) shown in the concrete manufacture of the magnetic recording medium. (Example 2) Instead of the Cr film, an Nb film was formed at 300 A (angstrom). The polishing was performed using a No. 8000 polishing tape. Other conditions are the same as in Example 1. (Comparative Example 1) After forming a Cr intermediate film under the same conditions as in Example, the substrate was taken out from the sputtering apparatus and washed and dried without polishing with free abrasive grains to form a non-magnetic substrate. Under the same conditions as Cr underlayer film, CoNiCr magnetic film,
A C protective film was formed to produce a magnetic recording medium. (Comparative Example 2) A smooth glass substrate having a surface roughness Ra of 30 A (angstrom) was directly used as a non-magnetic substrate of a magnetic recording medium.

As can be seen from Table 2, when the surface of the non-magnetic substrate is a metal material as in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example 1, the magnetic recording medium obtained has a large coercive force and is suitable for high density recording. The characteristics are obtained. However, in the case of Comparative Example 1, although the coercive force is equivalent to that of Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that the medium has large noise and is not suitable as a high density recording medium. This is considered to be because S * in Examples 1 and 2 was smaller than that in Comparative Example 1, and the magnetic isolation was increased to lower the noise. Judging from the above phenomenon, it is found that the magnetic recording media manufactured using the substrates of Examples 1 and 2 according to the present invention are optimal as the magnetic recording medium for high density recording capable of reducing the flying height of the magnetic head. .
