Abstract

See full text

A non-ferromagnetic metal thin film is formed on a non-ferromagnetic substrate such as a glass substrate. A target principally containing an intermetallic compound is sputtered to form a fine structure having discrete bumps provided on the surface of the substrate. In addition, ring bumps different from the bumps of the intermetallic compound are formed on a contact start/stop zone by a laser or other means, thus completing a magnetic recording medium.
