Patent number: 6268024Abstract: A magnetic recording medium is prepared by forming on a plastic substrate, a nickel oxide underlayer having a plane (200) which is predominantly oriented in parallel with the surface of the plastic substrate, then forming on the nickel oxide underlayer at a substrate temperature of less 240° C., a cobalt-containing magnetite thin film having a plane (400) which is predominantly oriented in parallel with the surface of the plastic substrate, and finally oxidizing the cobalt-containing magnetite thin film in a plasma-activated oxygen atmosphere containing a rare gas at a substrate temperature of less than 240° C. while incorporating the rare gas into oxygen. This results in a cobalt-containing maghemite thin film as a perpendicular magnetic film having a spacing of a plane (400) of not more than 2.082 Å. The magnetic recording medium so produced is useful for high-density recording using a plastic substrate.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1999Date of Patent: July 31, 2001Assignee: Toda Kogyo CorporationInventors: Takanori Doi, Kousaku Tamari, Yasuo Kakihara, Kenichi Nakata, Mitsuru Matsuura, Setsuo Yamamoto
