Abstract
Abstract A grooved magnetic substrate including an alumina film layer having a Knoop hardness of 600 kg/mm 2 to 1200 kg/mm 2 charged in at least one groove formed in a surface of a magnetic substrate. The magnetic substrate may be Mn-Zn or NiZn base ferrite. The alumina film layer is formed by sputtering.
