    摘要: A carbon film for protecting a magnetic disk is sputtered by a DC magnetron sputtering method, with the addition of superimposed AC power on the DC power applied to the carbon target. When the carbon film is sputtered for extended period in a production sputtering machine, nodular growth occurs over the sputtering surface of the carbon target. Such nodules are variously called "warts" or "mushrooms" in the industry and they are detrimental to the productivity of the sputtering machine. The size and quantity of the nodules over the target surface increase as the target is sputtered longer, and because these region do not contribute to sputtering, the efficiency of the target decreases. As sputter efficiency decreases, power input must be increased to the target to make up for the loss in the effective sputtering area of the target. Eventually, the power input must be increased to a point where arcing occurs continuously and sputtering cannot be continued. By superimposing AC power onto the DC power applied to the target, virtually all arcing on the carbon target is eliminated, thereby significantly reducing the nodular growth and extending the use of the target.

    摘要: Magnetic recording media are controllably textured, particularly over areas designated for contact with data transducing heads. In connection with rigid media, the process includes polishing an aluminum nickel-phosphorous substrate to a specular finish, then rotating the disc while directing pulsed laser energy over a limited portion of the radius, thus forming an annular head contact band while leaving the remainder of the surface specular. The band is formed of multiple individual laser spots, each with a center depression surrounded by a substantially circular raised rim. The depth of the depressions and height of the rims are controlled primarily by laser power and firing pulse duration. The shape of individual laser spots can be altered by varying the laser beam inclination relative to the disc surface. On a larger scale, the frequency of firing the laser in combination with disc rotational speed controls the pattern or arrangement of laser spots. The smooth, rounded contours of the depressions and surrounding rims, as compared to the acicular character of mechanically textured surfaces, is a primary factor contributing to substantially increased durability of laser textured media.

    摘要: A high areal density magnetic recording medium exhibiting high H.sub.c, high SNR, high S* and substantially two dimensionally isotropic magnetic properties is achieved by depositing a NiAl underlayer on a NiP-plated non-magnetic metallic substrate, such as an Al alloy substrate. Embodiments include depositing a Cr layer on the NiAl underlayer. The NiAl underlayer and/or Cr layer can optionally contain an alloying element for inducing a preferred HCP crystallographic structure in the magnetic layer by lattice matching.

    摘要: A new magnetic alloy exhibits high Hc and Ms while exhibiting excellent corrosion resistance, thereby providing ideal physical properties for high density recording applications. Other parameters of the media, such as SNR, PW50, and S are at least maintained, if not also improved. The alloy contains cobalt and up to 10 at. % Ni, up to 20 at. % Pt, up to 10 at. % Ta, up to 10 at. % Ti, and optionally up to 6 at. % B. The ratio of the tantalum to titanium in the alloy is between 3:1 and 1:3. The alloy is deposited by vacuum deposition (typically sputtering) on a similarly deposited non-magnetic Ni alloy under layer. Nitrogen and/or oxygen may be introduced into the alloy during deposition to improve SNR. Other corrosion-resistant thin film alloys may also be obtained by the inclusion of Ta and Ti.
