Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a perpendicular magnetic recording medium wherein an under layer (2) made of a material containing Si and/or Ge as its principal ingredient is deposited on a substrate (1), and a perpendicular magnetic film (3) made of a Co-based alloy is deposited on the under layer. With the perpendicular magnetic recording medium, the perpendicular magnetic film has an enhanced degree of C-axis orientation, and the bond strength between the perpendicular magnetic film and the substrate is also enhanced when the substrate is non-metallic.
