Abstract

Disclosed herein is a perpendicular magnetic film of spinel type iron oxide formed on a surface of a base substrate in the form of columnar grains which are densely arranged perpendicularly to the surface of the base substrate. A vapor of an organic iron compound or a mixed vapor consisting of the organic iron compound vapor and a vapor of an organic metal compound different from the organic iron compound is added with oxygen to obtain a mixed gas. The mixed gas is subjected to chemical vapor deposition on the substrate at low temperature, at reduced pressure in plasma, thereby to obtain the perpendicular magnetic film.
