Abstract

In a magnetic recording medium including an underlayer and a magnetic layer formed sequentially on a substrate, the underlayer is composed of a composite underlayer having an at least two-layered structure, the underlayer on the side of the substrate is made of a material providing low modulation to the magnetic recording medium while the underlayer on the side of the magnetic layer is made of a material providing a high S/N ratio to the medium. This makes it possible to obtain a magnetic recording medium having low modulation and high S/N ratio.
