Magnetic anisotropies were investigated for CoCr perpendicular magnetic films on grooved structure substrates (pitch length 2.1 μm) prepared by CF4-reactive-ion etching. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy decreases in the region where groove depth GD >650 A. The reduction is due to the inclination of the crystal growth axis on the groove surface. In-plane magnetic anisotropy,
