Abstract

A magnetic recording member with improved coercive force is obtained by: PA1 (a) forming by sputtering or Cr film on a non-magnetic substrate; PA1 (b) forming by sputtering an epitaxially grown film of a Co alloy containing at least Cr as an additional metal on the Cr film formed in the step (a); and applying a negative bias voltage to the substrate during at least one of steps (a) and (b). The coercive force of the magnetic recording member is further increased when high-frequency sputtering is used instead of direct current sputtering.
