て十分満足し得る製造方法を提供するものである。A magnetic layer is formed through surface treatment such as Kannodar 9. Therefore, the magnetic powder contained in the magnetic layer is 60 to 70
Therefore, the thickness of the magnetic layer is approximately 2 to 3 μm. Short wavelength recording is limited by this demagnetizing field and the like. In contrast, in the magnetic layer made of a metal thin film proposed by the present invention, the magnetic material is evaporated into atoms,
A thin film is formed on the film, and the magnetic layer has a thickness of 10
It is made of 0% magnetic material. In addition, the thickness of the magnetic layer can be uniformly formed in units of several angstroms, and the magnetic flux density of the magnetic layer can be increased to about 10 times that of the coating type.
Combined with the feature that the magnetic layer can be made thin, it is suitable for short wavelength recording media and can be used as high-density magnetic recording media. Many methods have been proposed for forming the magnetic layer of such a thin metal film, such as plating, sputtering, and vapor deposition, but the present invention is relatively simple and has high industrial mass productivity. In the vacuum evaporation method, it is an object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing method that satisfies the mechanical properties, magnetic properties, physical properties, mass productivity, cost, etc. of a magnetic recording medium.

発レート。In order to obtain the magnetic recording medium described in E using the vacuum evaporation method,
It is necessary to set and monitor a plurality of conditions, and it is necessary to control the factors that cause the plurality of conditions shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 to change. Therefore, in the manufacturing method according to the present invention, the transmittance meter 25 is connected to the central control box C via the measuring device A1 by the line 2o, and the rate monitor 16 is connected to the central control box C via the measuring device A2 by the line 21. is,

Further, the rate from the evaporation source is adjusted by controlling the power source of the heating source by a control box C1 connected to the central control box C by a line 24. Therefore, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, in order to obtain predetermined characteristics as a magnetic recording medium, the film thickness and evaporation rate are adjusted.

力の増加は低減するが、依然として抗磁力は増加する。Next, we will present the advantageous conditions for developing this manufacturing method and explain the excellence of this manufacturing method. FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the minimum incident angle (maximum incident angle is 9o0) and coercive force in so-called oblique evaporation. It can be seen that when the minimum incident angle is 50' or more, the coercive force increases greatly. However, the characteristics shown in FIG. 2 are for the case where no gas (oxygen 02 in the present invention) is supplied, and under this condition there are some problems in mass productivity and cost. Therefore, generally a large coercive force is obtained at a low incident angle by supplying oxygen as an atmospheric gas. Figure 3 shows the relationship between oxygen supply amount and coercive force. The horizontal axis shows the amount of oxygen supplied, and the vertical axis shows the coercive force. Oxygen supply rate is 0/min
From 0.8β/min to 0.8β/min, the coercive force increases or decreases in proportion to the oxygen-depleted condition. 0.8″'/
Above rn i n , the increase in coercive force with respect to the increase in oxygen supply is somewhat reduced, but the coercive force still increases.
しかし2.0”/min以上では抗磁力はほぼ飽和する

にすれば加熱源の制御により蒸着膜厚を制御することは
容易である。However, at 2.0"/min or more, the coercive force is almost saturated. FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the deposited film thickness and the coercive force. It is shown that as the deposited film thickness increases, the coercive force decreases. In the above vacuum evaporation equipment, the evaporation rate is 1000 people/se.
Since approximately c can be secured, it is easy to control the deposited film thickness by controlling the heating source if the traveling speed of the film 4 is kept constant.

得るようにしたものである。According to the above manufacturing method, some of the characteristics required for magnetic recording media, such as the deposited film thickness (magnetic flux density) and coercive force, can be made uniform even in long films by controlling the oxygen supply amount and evaporation rate. It is possible to create a product that is unique. Therefore, in the present invention, the deposited film thickness and evaporation rate are monitored as shown in FIG.
Each data is input into the central control box for central management, and the central control box sends control signals as output to the heating source and oxygen supply flow control valve to maintain the preset deposition conditions. It is designed to obtain a deposited film thickness and coercive force.
