ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording medium of higher coercive force and a manufacturing method thereof are provided by enabling reactive sputtering of stable reproducibility even with the addition of oxygen in the formation of a magnetic film using oxygen addition type reactive sputtering. In one embodiment, a vertical magnetic recording medium having SiC and SiOx(x=1 to 2) is provided. Further, a method of manufacturing a vertical magnetic recording medium including the addition of an Ar gas and an oxygen gas to an SiC-containing target in the step of forming a film of a magnetic layer on a soft magnetic under layer by reactive sputtering is provided.
