摘要:
A magnetic recording medium is formed by depositing a Cr-containing sub-underlayer on a surface oxidized seed layer, such as NiP, with direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering, depositing a NiAl or FeAl underlayer on the sub-underlayer, and depositing a Cr-containing intermediate layer on the NiAl or FeAl underlayer. The medium features high coercivity, low noise, and (200)-dominant underlayer crystallographic orientation, even with sub-underlayer deposition at temperatures as low as about 25.degree. C. The medium is suitable for high density longitudinal magnetic recording.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium exhibiting low medium noise is formed by depositing a seed layer on a glass or a glass-ceramic substrate and oxidizing the deposited seed layer, under controlled conditions to induce controlled surface microroughness. The subsequently sputter deposited underlayer exhibits a fine average grain size, such as less than about 20 nm. The magnetic alloy sputter deposited and epitaxially grown on the underlayer exhibits a fine average grain size, such as less than about 15 nm, and magnetic clusters reduced in size.
摘要:
Reproducible texturing of magnetic recording media is enhanced by sputtering a buffer layer, such as Ni—P, on a nonmagnetic substrate, prior to sputtering a textured bump layer. A magnetic recording medium comprising a sputter textured metal layer and high coercivity is achieved by employing an underlayer, such as NiAl or FeAl, preferably a composite underlayer containing a chromium or chromium-alloy layer and a NiAl layer, on the sputter textured layer. Advantageously, the buffer layer, underlayer, textured bump layer, magnetic layer and carbon overcoat can be sputter deposited in a single apparatus.

摘要:
A high areal density magnetic recording medium with high remanent coercivity and high signal-to-noise ratio is formed with dual magnetic layers, the first or lower magnetic layer having a higher saturation magnetization than the second or upper magnetic layer. Embodiments include first and second magnetic layers containing Co and Pt, wherein the first magnetic layer comprises less platinum than the second, e.g., a first magnetic layer of Co15%Cr8%Pt4%Ta and a second magnetic layer of Co15%Cr11%Pt4%Ta.

摘要:
The coercivity of a magnetic recording medium is increased without any substantial change in magnetic remanence by depositing a fresh non-magnetic sub-underlayer on an underlayer or composite underlayer comprising a plurality of sub-underlayers, and immediately depositing a magnetic layer on the fresh sub-underlayer. In an embodiment of the present invention, a fresh chromium sub-underlayer having a thickness of about 55 .ANG. to about 135 .ANG. is sputter deposited on a chromium underlayer in the magnetic layer deposition chamber, and a cobalt magnetic layer deposited on and within 1.2 seconds after depositing the fresh sub-underlayer.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium having low medium noise and suitable for high density magnetic recording is produced with a bicrystal cluster magnetic layer on a glass or glass-ceramic substrate. An underlayer which is formed with a (200) crystallographic orientation induces the formation of a bicrystal cluster microstructure in a magnetic alloy layer epitaxially grown on the underlayer.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium comprising a glass or glass-ceramic substrate is formed by sequentially depositing thereon a partially oxidized NiP seed layer, an underlayer and a magnetic layer. The partially oxidized NiP seed layer is formed by reactive sputtering in a gas mixture of argon and oxygen. The resulting magnetic recording medium exhibits low medium noise and high coercivity rendering it suitable for high density magnetic recording.

A magnetic recording medium having a high areal recording density of about 3 to about 20 Gb/in.sup.2, an Mrt of about 0.30 to about 0.60 memu/cm.sup.2, a coercivity greater than 2,500 Oersteds and a coercivity squareness of about 0.70 to about 0.95 is obtained by depositing one or more pairs of magnetic layers comprising a magnetically isotropic layer directly on a magnetically anisotropic layer. Chromium intermediate layers are employed to separate each pair of magnetically isotropic/anisotropic layers. In one embodiment, the magnetically anisotropic layer comprises a cobalt-base alloy containing chromium and tantalum and the magnetically isotropic layer comprises a cobalt-base layer containing chromium, platinum and tantalum.
