    摘要: A thin film disk and a disk drive using the thin film disk are described. The disk has an onset layer between the underlayer and the boron containing magnetic layer, for example. The onset layer of the invention is useful because the boron containing magnetic layer material resists being deposited with the C-axis in plane. The onset layer material is selected to promote an in-plane C-axis orientation. When a boron containing magnetic layer is deposited on the onset layer the resulting in-plane PO is improved. The preferred onset layer is of hexagonal closed pack structured material which may be magnetic or nonmagnetic. Materials which are usable for the onset layer include a wide range of pure elements and cobalt alloys such as CoCr, CoPtCr, CoPtCrTa and CoCrB. The onset layer is particularly useful in allowing a ferromagnetic cobalt (Co) alloy containing a relatively high chromium and boron content to be deposited on nonmetallic substrates with the C-axis in the plane of disk without the need for negative bias during the sputtering of the underlayer.

    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 method for achieving a nearly zero net magnetic moment of pinned layers in GMR sensors, such as Co—Fe/Ru/Co—Fe, is described. The method determines a thickness of the first pinned layer which will yield the desired net magnetic moment for the pinned layers. A series of test structures are deposited on a substrate such as glass. The test structures include the seed layers, pinning layers and pinned layers and have varying thicknesses of the first pinned layer. The compositions of the materials and the thicknesses of all of the other films remain constant. The net areal magnetic moment of each test structure is measured and plotted versus the thickness of the first pinned layer. The thickness of the first pinned layer which corresponds most closely to zero net areal magnetic moment is chosen as the design point for the sensor.

    摘要: Magnetic recording media suitable for high density recording are provided by a carbon substrate, a magnetic recording layer, and at least one interlayer therebetween which provides one or more properties beneficial to preventing diffusion, inducing a preferred orientation in the magnetic recording layer and/or promoting adhesion between a carbon substrate and a barium hexaferrite-based magnetic recording layer. Alternatively, the present magnetic recording media may contain two different interlayers, which bar diffusion of carbon atoms from said substrate to said magnetic recording layer, improve adhesion between adjacent layers, induce an orientation in the magnetic recording layer, or any combination thereof. The present recording media are particularly advantageous for perpendicular recording. Processes for producing these magnetic recording media are also provided.
