    摘要: A thin film structure for a magnetic thin film recording medium including a dual seed layer of RuAl/NiAlB is disclosed. The use of the RuAl/NiAlB structure provides reduced grain size, an increased Mrt orientation ratio (OR), increased SNR and lower PW50 at higher amplitude. The RuAl and NiAlB seed layers each have a B2 crystallographic structure. The RuAl/NiAlB dual seed layer can be used to obtain an underlayer with a preferred in-plane orientation of (200) and a cobalt alloy magnetic film with the preferred in-plane orientation of (11{overscore ( )}20).

    摘要: A thin film magnetic media structure with a pre-seed layer of CrTi is disclosed. The CrTi pre-seed layer presents an amorphous or nanocrystalline structure. The preferred seed layer is RuAl for use with the CrTi pre-seed layer. The use of the CrTi/RuAl bilayer structure provides superior adhesion to the substrate and resistance to scratching, as well as, excellent coercivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and reduced cost over the prior art. One embodiment of the invention sputter-deposits a CrTi pre-seed layer and a RuAl seed layer followed by at least one underlayer and at least one magnetic layer on a circumferentially polished substrate structure to achieve an Mrt orientation ratio greater than one. Two methods according to the invention allow the Mrt orientation ratio of the disk to be adjusted or maximized by varying the thickness of the RuAl seed layer and/or altering the atomic percentage of titanium in the pre-seed layer.

    摘要: A magnetic thin film disk for use in a disk drive with a ruthenium-aluminum (RuAl) seed layer with B2 structure followed by a NiAl layer is described. The disk has reduced noise and increased squareness which results in improved recording performance in a disk drive utilizing the disk. The improved disk is formed by first depositing the RuAl seed layer on the substrate then the NiAl layer is deposited onto the NiAl, followed by the other layers required for a magnetic disk such as an underlayer material with a lattice parameter compatible with RuAl such as Cr-alloy, followed by a standard hcp magnetic material. The RuAl seed layer promotes a [100] preferred orientation in the underlayer which in turn promotes a [11{overscore (2)}0] preferred orientation in the magnetic layer.

    摘要: In a thin film magnetic disk, a crystalline CrNi pre-seed layer is sputtered onto a substrate such as glass, followed by a RuAl seed layer. The CrNi pre-seed layer reduces grain size and its distribution, and improves in-plane crystallographic orientation, coercivity (Hc) and SNR. In a preferred embodiment the RuAl seed layer is followed by a Cr alloy underlayer. In a preferred embodiment the Cr alloy underlayer is followed by an onset layer and a magnetic layer, or by two or more magnetic layers antiferromagnetically coupled through one or more spacer layers. The crystalline CrNi pre-seed layer allows use of a thinner RuAl seed layer which results in smaller overall grain size, as well as a reduction in manufacturing cost due to relatively high cost of ruthenium. The CrNi pre-seed layer also allows use of a thinner Cr alloy underlayer which also contributes to reduce overall grain size.
