    摘要: A material, preferably a magnetic data storage disc, includes a carbon layer covering at least a portion of a magnetic substrate and a crosslinked fluoropolymer layers covering at least-a portion of the carbon layer. The crosslinked polymer layer has a thickness less than about 40 angstroms, and the carbon layer has a thickness less than about 100 angstroms. Preferred fluoropolymers include, for example, perfluoropolyethers. In some embodiments, the crosslinked fluoropolymer layer has a thickness at one point on the carbon layer greater than the thickness crosslinked fluoropolymer layer at another point on the carbon layer. The crosslinking generally is performed by irradiating the lubricant material on the carbon layer.

    摘要: Ion beam-deposited, nitrogen-doped C:H films having substantially lower resistivities than undoped ion beam-deposited C:H films and suitable for use as hard, abrasion-resistant overcoat layers for magnetic recording media, such as hard disks, are formed by supplying a mixture of hydrocarbon and nitrogen gases to an ion beam generator. Nitrogen atom content of the films is controlled to within from about 5 to about 25 at. % by appropriate selection of the ratio of hydrocarbon gas flow to nitrogen gas flow. The resultant IBD i-C:HN films exhibit a reduced tendency for charge build-up thereon during hard disk operation by virtue of their lower resistivity vis-à-vis conventional a-C:H materials.

    摘要: Stable operation of an ion beam deposition (IBD) station forming part of a multi-station apparatus and formation therein of a tribologically robust DLC-type i-C:H ultra-thin protective overcoat for high recording density magnetic media are achieved by pulsing (i.e., limiting) the flow of a hydrocarbon source gas to the ion beam source to deposition intervals between substrate transfer/pressure cycling. Embodiments include utilizing a circularly-shaped, closed drift, end Hall type ion beam source as part of a multi-process station apparatus, wherein undesirable arcing of the ion beam source during substrate transfer is eliminated, or at least substantially reduced, as a result of the pulsed supply of hydrocarbon source gas to the ion beam source.

    摘要: A method of forming a fluorine-bearing diamond layer on non-diamond substrates, especially on tool substrates comprising a metal matrix and hard particles, such as tungsten carbide particles, in the metal matrix. The substrate and a fluorine-bearing plasma or other gas are then contacted under temperature and pressure conditions effective to nucleate fluorine-bearing diamond on the substrate. A tool insert substrate is treated prior to the diamond nucleation and growth operation by etching both the metal matrix and the hard particles using suitable etchants.

The disc drive also includes an actuator assembly rotatably attached to said base and a device for moving the actuator assembly. The actuator assembly carries a slider. A slider for a disc drive adapted to interface with the surface of the disc. The surface of the disc is provided with an overcoat having a specific hardness. The slider has a leading edge, a trailing edge, and an air bearing surface positioned between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The slider includes a plurality of slider integrated pads, at least some of the slider integrated pads having a hardness which is greater than the hardness of the disc surface. All the slider integrated pads may be harder than the hardness of the disc surface or at least a group of slider integrated pads located near the trailing edge of the slider are harder than the hardness of the disc surface.
