Abstract
In a magnetic recording medium wherein a metal thin film magnetic layer and an overcoat are formed on a nonmagnetic substrate, durability is improved when the overcoat comprises a plasma-polymerized film and a topcoat of an organic fluorine compound; a plasma-polymerized film, a protective carbon film, and a topcoat of an organic fluorine compound; a plasma-polymerized film containing C, F and H; or a plasma-polymerized organometallic film and a fluorine or silicon-containing topcoat. Oxidation of the upper surface of the magnetic layer with a plasma is also effective.
