Abstract
The present invention aims to provide a method of producing a magnetic recording medium which is a method of producing a magnetic recording medium having a magnetically-separated magnetic recording pattern, the method including: forming a magnetic layer on a non-magnetic substrate; then exposing a surface of the magnetic layer partially to reactive plasma, or a reactive ion generated in the plasma to amorphize the portion of the magnetic layer.

A method of producing a magnetic recording medium having a magnetically-separated magnetic recording pattern, the method comprising:
- forming a magnetic layer over a non-magnetic substrate;
- and
- then exposing a surface of the magnetic layer partially to reactive plasma, or a reactive ion generated in the plasma to amorphize the portion of the magnetic layer and to modify the magnetic properties of the portion whereby a magnetically-separated magnetic recording pattern is formed.
