Abstract
The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium for a magnetic disk unit or the like and, more particularly, to a magnetic recording medium having its recording layer made of a magnetic alloy film with uniform magnetic characteristics. The present magnetic recording medium comprises a non-magnetic substrate, at least two sputtered layers of chromium thin film having a bow-like columnar structure which chromium thin film is laminated on the substrate, another sputtered layer of a magnetic alloy thin film laminated on the chromium thin film, and a protective layer laminated on the magnetic alloy thin film. The present invention is effective in reducing modulation of regenerative output relatively independent of a texture roughness of the substrate.
