Abstract
A magneto-optical recording medium comprises a substrate, a magneto-optical recording layer formed of a rare earth metal-transition metal alloy and a dielectric protective layer overlaid in this order on the substrate, and a rare earth metal layer overlaid on an edge face of the magneto-optical recording layer. The magneto-optical recording medium wherein the substrate is annular is made by forming the magneto-optical recording layer, covering the recording region on the magneto-optical recording layer with an annular mask having an outer diameter not larger than the outer diameter of the magneto-optical recording layer and/or an inner diameter not smaller than the inner diameter of the magneto-optical recording layer, overlaying the rare earth metal layer on an outer edge face and/or an inner edge face of the magneto-optical recording layer by dispersing rare earth metal particles toward the annular mask, removing the annular mask, and overlaying the dielectric protective layer on the magneto-optical recording layer.
