    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: 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.

    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: A thin film disk with laminated magnetic layers, for use in a disk drive, is described which exhibits a single switching behavior resulting in a smooth hysteresis loop. This is achieved by depositing a seed layer prior to depositing the Cr or Cr alloy underlayer. The seed layer material is selected to promote a [112] PO in the underlayer and subsequently a [1010] PO in the two or more laminated magnetic layers. The [1010] PO aids in maintaining minimal Hc variations between the magnetic layers. The seed layer can be a B2 type structure material such as NiAl or FeAl or any other material which results in the [112] PO in the underlayer. The underlayer is preferably Cr or a Cr alloy; the magnetic layers are preferably CoPtCr, CoPtCrTa or CoPtCrB. The spacer layer between the magnetic layers may be made from the same material as the underlayer, but may also be different, e.g. an hexagonal crystalline material such as Ru. The disks of the invention can be manufactured in standard high volume sputtering systems by virtue of the fact the magnetic layers have a reduced dependency on substrate temperature.

    摘要: The thin film magnetic disk of the present invention includes a non-metallic substrate having a seed layer deposited on the substrate, an underlayer deposited upon the seed layer composed of a chromium alloy having a relatively high oxygen concentration portion of from 2,000 ppm to 20,000 ppm and preferably approximately 4,000 ppm to 12,000 ppm, followed by a relatively low oxygen concentration portion of from 0-2,000 ppm, and preferably from 500 ppm to 1,500 ppm and a magnetic layer that is deposited upon the underlayer. The underlayer total thickness is in the range of from approximately 250 Å to approximately 700 Å with a preferred thickness of approximately 450 Å, wherein approximately half of the underlayer thickness is the high oxygen concentration portion and half is the low oxygen concentration portion.
