The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Co‐alloy films deposited by KrF excimer laser ablation were investigated. A pulsed laser beam with wavelength of 248 nm was focused onto the deposition targets which were fixed in the vacuum chamber. Cr underlayer and Co‐alloy films were successively deposited at a rate of 0.012 nm/pulse. The film surface was microscopically smooth compared to the sputtered films. This may be due to the low shadowing effect during the laser deposition. The composition of the film was reproducibly controlled, though there was a slight difference between the composition of film and target material. The coercivities of Co‐Cr‐Pt/Cr films formed on the Si and Ni‐P substrates at 250 °C were 130 and 220 Oe, which were about one‐fifth of the coercivity of sputtered films. Crystallographic analyses showed that Cr underlayer had no crystal orientation, and Co‐alloy film consisted of fine fcc‐type crystal grains. Low coercivity of the laser‐deposited film is probably due to the lack o...
