摘要:
A system and method for improving the durability and reliability of recording media used in hard drives is disclosed. A protective overcoat made by depositing a diamond like carbon (DLC) layer over a magnetic layer and then depleting a portion of the DLC protective layer of hydrogen before it is coated with a Perfluoropolyethers (PFPE) using an in-situ vapor lubrication technique. The portion of the DLC layer which is depleted can be data zone of the media so that the lubricant-bonding ratio is higher for the landing zone than it is for the data zone.

A method of forming a layer of a novel hard, abrasion and corrosion resistant, nitrogen-doped, high carbon density, amorphous carbon or hydrogenated carbon (C:H) protective overcoat material on a surface of a recording medium comprises steps of: (a) providing a substrate including a stacked plurality of thin film layers thereon constituting the medium; (b) forming, by a process comprising generation and deposition of C ions having energies of at least about 90 eV, a layer of an amorphous carbon or hydrogenated carbon (C:H) material on the at least one surface of the substrate, the C:H layer having a high carbon density of at least about 2.0 gm/cm3; and (c) implanting nitrogen (N) ions in a surface portion of the high carbon density amorphous carbon or C:H layer to form an N-doped amorphous carbon or C:H surface layer having a carbon density substantially equal to said high C density of the C:H layer formed in step (b). Embodiments of the invention include thin-film magnetic and magneto-optical recording media including a layer of the novel material as a protective overcoat.
