摘要:
A perpendicular magnetic recording medium, comprising: (a) a non-magnetic substrate having a surface; and (b) a layer stack formed over the substrate surface, comprising in overlying sequence from the substrate surface: (i) a magnetically soft underlayer; (ii) an interlayer structure for crystallographically orienting a layer of a perpendicular magnetic recording material formed thereon; and (iii) at least one crystallographically oriented magnetically hard perpendicular recording layer; wherein the magnetically soft underlayer is sputter-deposited at a sufficiently large target-to-substrate spacing and at a sufficiently low gas pressure selected to provide the underlayer with a smooth surface having a low average surface roughness Ra below about 0.3 nm, as measured by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium on glass or Al substrates with film structures of CrV/NiAl/CrMo/CoCrTa/CoCrPtTaNbB and CrMo/CoCrTa/CoCrPtTaNbB exhibit high coercivity and high signal-to-medium noise ratio. The medium can be used for high-density longitudinal magnetic recording. Embodiments include forming a sub-seed layer on a NiP-plated aluminum substrate, and sequentially depositing a seed layer, an underlayer, an intermediate layer and a magnetic layer on the substrate. The magnetic layer contains at least six elements, including Co, Cr and B.
摘要:
Magnetic recording media exhibiting enhanced SMNR are formed with an NiAlOx sub-seedlayer for microstructural control of the underlayer to enable deposition and growth of a magnetic layer exhibiting a (10{overscore (1)}0)-predominant crystallographic orientation and small, uniform grain size. Embodiments include completely reactive sputter depositing a NiAlOx sub-seedlayer on a glass-ceramic substrate and sequentially depositing thereon a NiAl seedlayer, a Cr or Cr-alloy underlayer, e.g., CrMo, a Co—Cr magnetic layer and a protective overcoat, e.g., carbon. The resulting magnetic recording media exhibit a high SMNR, high OW, narrow PW50, improved jitter and improved Hr.

摘要:
Magnetic recording media with high coercivity and low noise, suitable for high density longitudinal recording, are formed with a surface oxidized sub-seedlayer between a non-magnetic substrate and seedlayer. Embodiments include depositing a NiAl sub-seedlayer on a glass or glass-ceramic substrate, oxidizing the surface of the NiAl sub-seedlayer, and then sequentially depositing a NiAl seedlayer, Cr or Cr alloy underlayer, e.g., CrMo, an optional intermediate CoCrTa alloy layer, a magnetic layer, e.g., a Co-alloy magnetic layer, and a protective overcoat, e.g., a carbon-containing protective overcoat.

High substrate biasing during sputter deposition of an underlayer enables the manufacture of a magnetic recording medium exhibiting increased Hr, S* and SNR. Embodiments include sputter depositing a CrMn underlayer on a NiP-plated Al substrate at a negative substrate bias greater than about 300 volts and subsequently depositing a CoCrPtTa magnetic layer.

摘要:
Sputter-deposited TiW film interposed between a magnetic layer and a nitrogen-containing overcoat of a magnetic recording medium significantly reduces the migration of nitrogen from the overcoat to the magnetic layer, thereby improving the magnetic recording performances of the magnetic recording medium.
