摘要:
A method is described for improving recording performance of a perpendicular media. The method includes controlling the anisotropy levels in different sublayers of the magnetic recording layers of the perpendicular media. Further, the different sublayers thicknesses can be altered to match the media to a particular head.

摘要:
Perpendicular recording media with sublayers of dual oxide dopant magnetic materials are disclosed. The magnetic layer may comprise multiple sublayers of magnetic materials. In each sublayer, dual oxide dopants are incorporated. The compositions of the sublayers can be the same or different depending on the application. The magnetic layer may be deposited using a target comprising a mixture of CoPtCrB and dual oxides as dopants. The layer deposited with such targets can be the entire magnetic layer or a sublayer.

摘要:
Soft magnetic film fabricated with preferred uniaxial anisotropy for perpendicular recording. One type of cathode design has a field direction that is parallel to the direction of the Hex of the second SUL with a magnetically-pinned first SUL. In addition, SUL structures having low AP exchange energy also are disclosed. The SUL structure combines the cathode field direction of the SUL2 with the pinned SUL1. The SUL1 is magnetically pinned to the pinning layer and the pinning direction is parallel to the direction of the cathode field applied during deposition of the SUL1. High Hc ferro-magnetic materials may be deposited onto a heated substrate that is magnetized along the radial direction by the cathode field. The pinning field may be higher than the cathode field, indicating that the cathode field during deposition of the SUL2 cannot disturb the magnetic state of the SUL1 pinned to pinning layer.

Perpendicular magnetic recording media and methods of fabricating perpendicular magnetic recording media are described. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium of one embodiment includes a soft magnetic underlayer (SUL), an interlayer, and a perpendicular magnetic recording layer. The interlayer comprises a layer formed from a first material (e.g., NiWCr) having a face-centered-cubic (FCC) structure, a layer formed from a second material (e.g., Cr) having a body-centered-cubic (BCC) structure, and a layer formed from a third material (e.g., Ru) having a hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) structure.

摘要:
A method for manufacturing a magnetic media for perpendicular magnetic data recording. The method includes depositing a Ru layer in a pure oxygen atmosphere and then further depositing Ru in the presence of oxygen to form a thin pseudo onset layer. The pseudo onset layer can advantageously be depositing in the same deposition chamber and using the same target as that used to deposit the underlying Ru layer. This saves a great deal of manufacturing cost and complexity. The presence of the pseudo onset layer reduces grains size and increases grain separation in a high Ku magnetic layer deposited thereon, thereby increasing signal to noise ratio and decreasing magnetic core width (MCW).
摘要:
A magnetic media having a multi-layer magnetic oxide structure with an uppermost magnetic oxide layer having a very low magnetic anisotropy energy. The magnetic oxide structure includes at least three magnetic oxide layers. An upper most magnetic oxide layer structure has a magnetic anisotropy energy of less than 1×106 erg/cm3 and a saturation magnetization of greater than 300 emu/cm3. The magnetic oxide structure improves media magnetization in response to a magnetic field. The low anisotropy layer responds easily to a magnetic field. This magnetic response is then transferred to the underlying layers which have a higher magnetic anisotropy for improved robustness in maintaining magnetization over time and even in a high temperature environment.
