    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 thin film magnetic media structure with a bi-layer structure of amorphous chromium titanium (CrTi) followed by an amorphous layer of nickel phosphorus (NiP) is disclosed. After the NiP has been deposited it is exposed to oxygen to form an oxidized surface. Preferably the underlayer is deposited directly onto the oxidized NiP surface. The bi-layer structure of CrTi/NiP promotes excellent in-plane crystallographic orientation in the cobalt alloy magnetic layer(s) and allows: an ultra-thin chromium underlayer to be used which provides better control over grain size and distribution. When the CrTi/NiP bi-layer structure is combined with a circumferentially textured substrate, preferably glass, a high Mrt orientation ratio (OR) results.

    摘要: The applicants disclose a thin film magnetic media structure with a pre-seed layer of CrTi. 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 an 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.
