Abstract
The present invention discloses a perpendicular magnetic recording medium which includes a non-magnetic base and a magnetic thin film made of a Nd--Fe--B alloy on the non-magnetic base. The Nd--Fe--B alloy has a composition of Nd: 2 to no more than 13 atom %, B: up to 4 atom % and Fe: the remainder. The Nd--Fe--B alloy having the above composition may additionally have at least one element among Co, Ga, Si and V as additives. The magnetic thin film is formed on the non-magnetic base by sputtering method, wherein a sputtering gas pressure is determined to be within a range 20.about.40 mTorr, and a sputtering temperature of said non-magnetic base is determined to be less than 100.degree.
