Abstract:
This magnetic recording medium is characterized in that in the magnetic recording medium having a magnetic layer on a non-magnetic substrate by intercalating at least an under layer, the proportion of functional groups per 100 carbon atoms in a diamond-like carbon protective layer mainly composed of carbon for protecting the magnetic layer exceeds 20%. The bonding force between the protective layer and the lubricating layer of the magnetic recording medium is increased so that under high speed rotation, a decrease in the lubricating layer is not caused so as to provide a magnetic recording apparatus having high reliability.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium includes forming a first protective layer of first material over a magnetic film provided on a substrate. The first protective layer has a thickness of about 0.2 nm to about 2 nm. A second protective layer of second material is formed over the first protective layer by driving ions of the second material into the first protective layer. The first protective layer is configured to prevent the ions of the second material from penetrating into the magnetic film.
Abstract:
To promote reduction in thickness of an air bearing surface protective film of a magnetic head, a magnetic head having an air bearing surface protective film consisting only of a thin carbon film while excluding formation of a dead layer by ion incidence as less as possible to the read/write device, and a manufacturing method therefore, are provided. In an embodiment, an air bearing surface protective film of a magnetic head comprises a thin carbon film, in which the mass density a lowermost layer of the air bearing surface protective film on the side of a magnetic device is made lower compared with a thin carbon film constituting other adjacent layers. Further, the manufacturing method comprises deposition under the control of time for the incident angle of ion flow to a substrate to be processed and deposition under the control of time for the ion flow energy to a substrate to be processed.
