Description

The manufacture method of magnetic recording media
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of manufacture method of magnetic recording media of the recording layer with relief pattern.
Background technology
Up to the present, magnetic recording medias such as hard disk, by improvement to the miniaturization of the magnetic particle that constitutes recording layer, the change of material, the miniaturization of magnetic head processing etc., realized significantly improving of area recording density, and wait in expectation and further improve area recording density from now on, but owing to the manufacturing limit of magnetic head, the diffusion in magnetic field, carry out recording of information mistakenly and problem such as crosstalk becomes obviously to track, thereby arrived the limit according to the raising of the area recording density of in the past modification method with adjacent other of track of record object.
To this,, discrete track medium or patterned media that relief pattern with regulation forms recording layer, formed the record key element as the protuberance of relief pattern have been proposed as the candidate of the magnetic recording media of the further raising that can realize area recording density.
On the other hand, magnetic recording medias such as hard disk, because existence is as if the big then hoverheight problem of unstable of magnetic head slider of concavo-convex degree on surface, so proposed to fill the magnetic recording media (for example with reference to TOHKEMY 2000-195042 communique) that writes down the recess between the key element and the surface of recording layer is carried out planarization with filling material.
The technology of carrying out planarization as the recess of the recording layer of filling relief pattern with filling material and to the surface of recording layer, known have a technology of utilizing demoulding (リ Off ト オ Off) method.Shown in one is for example following.At first, on substrate, be formed uniformly after continuous recording layer and the anticorrosive additive material, remove the anticorrosive additive material of the part suitable by exposure/development with the recess of relief pattern, and with anticorrosive additive material only to continuous recording layer in the suitable part of protuberance cover.Under this state, the part of exposing of continuous recording layer is carried out etching, and form the recording layer of relief pattern.Further, on recording layer and anticorrosive additive material, carry out film forming with filling material and fill the recess of recording layer with filling material.In addition, filling material forms with relief pattern according to the recording layer of relief pattern, and is deposited on the anticorrosive additive material.At last, by the organic solvent dissolution resist layer, and remove filling material on the anticorrosive additive material together with resist.Thus, filling material only remains in recess and makes have an even surface (for example with reference to the special fair 5-22291 communique of JP, TOHKEMY 2001-110050 communique).
But, filling material also by film forming to the side of anticorrosive additive material, this part with recess in the state that becomes one of filling material under, also may be residual after removing anticorrosive additive material.That is, filling material is not only filled the recess of relief pattern, also might form projection near the end of recess, thereby exists the surface not have the problem of abundant planarization.
In addition, if form anticorrosive additive material blocked up, then in the root portion of anticorrosive additive material side, filling material is difficult for film forming, thereby can suppress the formation of projection, but if form anticorrosive additive material blocked up, then exist the protuberance that is processed to the resist layer of relief pattern by exposure/development to become to collapse easily or the machining precision of recording layer under the degradation problem.
Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a kind of manufacture method of magnetic recording media, can make the abundant smooth magnetic recording media of recording layer and surface with relief pattern.
In the present invention, on the processed body that is formed with tentative base material on the protuberance of recording layer, fill with the filling material film forming after the recess, have than recess and selectivity is more promptly removed the dry-etching method of the tendency of protuberance by use, and remove unnecessary filling material, thereby can remove the filling material of the side that covers tentative base material expeditiously.Further, be higher than etching method, optionally remove tentative base material, and can make flattening surface the etch-rate of filling material by utilizing etch-rate to tentative base material.
Optionally remove the etching method of this tentative base material, preferably utilize the dry-etching method of reacting gas with the characteristic of removing tentative base material with tentative base material chemically reactive.So and since to unnecessary filling material remove and planarization (tentative base material remove) is all carried out with the dry-etching method, thereby with respect to and with dry process and wet process situation, more can significantly improve production efficiency.
In addition, also can be higher than dry-etching method by etch-rate, and in an operation, remove unnecessary filling material and tentative base material tentative base material to the etch-rate of filling material.Make flattening surface by operation of such usefulness, thereby can further enhance productivity.
Also have, the inventor thinks in invention process of the present invention at first, with having and selectivity is removed the such dry-etching of ion beam milling of the tendency of protuberance fast than recess, only remove the redundance that carries out the filling material of film forming according to the recording layer of relief pattern with relief pattern, just can make flattening surface, thereby in fact this method be tested.
But, only remove unnecessary filling material with ion beam milling, be difficult to the step difference on surface is fully reduced to the level of expectation, think that its reason is summarized as follows.
The dry-etching method though have the tendency that the protuberance on surface is removed fast than the recess selectivity, if also have the poor of width on the protuberance, then produce the poor of etch-rate, thereby than the wide protuberance of width, the narrow protuberance of width is removed fast.Here the width of said protuberance, be meant with protuberance top near the almost rectangular direction of short transverse on width in minimum width.
Magnetic recording media is divided into data area and servo area and uses, discrete track medium and patterned media etc. have the magnetic recording media of the recording layer of relief pattern, even the relief pattern of recording layer is roughly certain in the data area, but the relief pattern of data area is significantly different with the relief pattern of servo area.And the relief pattern of the recording layer in the servo area becomes corresponding to the situation of the complex pattern of servo-information pattern more.Therefore can produce the poor or step difference of surfaceness between data area and servo area or in the servo area.
With respect to this, if prepare the processed body that its recess constitutes with filling material and its protuberance constitutes with tentative base material, utilization is higher than dry-etching method to the etch-rate of the filling material that constitutes recess to the etch-rate of tentative base material, remove tentative base material, when can suppress recess processing so, to the whole protuberance that constitutes with tentative base material,, thereby can prevent to produce the poor or step difference of surfaceness no matter how its width all to remove at short notice.

Below, according to process flow diagram shown in Figure 3, the job operation of processed body 10 is described.
At first, carry out processed system and make operation (S102).Specifically, process the processing base substrate of processed body 10 shown in Figure 1, make and to have the recording layer 32 that forms with relief pattern and to be formed at processed body 10 as first mask layer 22 (tentative base material) on the record key element 32A of the protuberance of recording layer 32.This processes base substrate, be that the order by basalis 14, antiferromagnetic layer 15, soft ferromagnetic layer 16, oriented layer 18, continuous recording layer 20, stopper film 35, first mask layer 22, second mask layer 24 forms by sputtering method on substrate 12, further, apply by spin-coating method and obtain resist layer 26.In addition, also can apply resist layer 26 by infusion process.
On the resist layer 26 of the processing base substrate of this processed body 10, utilize transfer device (omitting diagram), as shown in Figure 4, by the nano impression method, transfer printing includes contact hole and servo pattern and the suitable relief pattern of track pattern regulation, and by with O 2Or O 3Gas is removed the resist layer 26 of concave bottom as the reactive ion etching of reacting gas.In addition, can also be by resist layer 26 be exposed, develop, and form relief pattern.
Below, by the ion beam milling (incident angle is about 90 °) that utilizes Ar gas, remove second mask layer 24 of concave bottom.Further, by utilizing O 2Or O 3Reactive ion etching, remove first mask layer 22 of concave bottom.Further, by utilizing the ion beam milling of Ar gas, remove the stopper film 35 and the continuous recording layer 20 of concave bottom, and continuous recording layer 20 is divided into a plurality of record key element 32A.At this moment, on record key element 32A, make first mask layer 22 residual as fixing tentatively base material.Thus, as shown in Figure 5, can obtain to have the recording layer 32 that forms with relief pattern and be formed on processed body 10 as first mask layer 22 (tentative base material) on the record key element 32A of the protuberance of recording layer 32.
Then, carry out filling material film formation process (S104).Specifically, by the bias sputtering method, with filling material 36 at processed body 10 surface filmings.SiO 2Particle is deposited in the surface of processed body 10 equably, so the surface presents concaveconvex shape, but by processed body 10 is applied bias voltage, sputter gas is loaded by the direction to processed body 10 and the SiO that piles up has been finished in collision 2Thereby, to having finished the SiO that piles up 2A part carry out etching.This etching action is to have finish the SiO that piles up 2In, the tendency that the outstanding part selectivity more Zao than other parts removed is so surperficial concavo-convexly become even to a certain extent.By making filming function exceed etching action, and carry out film forming when suppressing surface concavo-convex.
Thus, as shown in Figure 6, with the concavo-convex shape that has to a certain degree suppressed the surface filling material 36 is formed film in the mode that covers recording layer 32, and in recess 34, fill filling material 36.Also have, in order to understand this first embodiment, emphasize to have given prominence to concaveconvex shape more among Fig. 6 than reality.
Then, carry out filling material and remove operation (S106).Specifically, by utilizing the ion beam milling of Ar gas, with 2 ° of irradiations of incident angle Ar gas, as shown in Figure 7, remove be formed in the filling material 36 record key element 32A upper surface with redundances substrate 12 opposite sides, to expose the side at least of first mask layer (tentative base material) 22.
The dry-etching method, selectivity is removed the tendency of protuberance fast owing to have than recess, so can remove the filling material 36 of the side that covers first mask layer (fixing tentatively base material) 22 expeditiously.Especially ion beam milling (comprising the reactive ion beam etching) since than recess and selectivity to remove the tendency of protuberance fast big, so planarization is effective.And if use the processing gas of the such inert gas of Ar gas as ion beam milling, then the anisotropic etching effect improves, and the tendency of therefore removing protuberance than recess fast becomes big, can further improve the planarization effect.
Also have, though the incident angle of Ar gas unqualified be 2 °, shown in the arrow among Fig. 7, preferred Ar gas shines processed body 10 from the direction that tilts with respect to processed body 10 normals to a surface.Particularly, preferably the incident angle of Ar gas is set in-10~15 ° scope with respect to the surface.By like this, can increase the tendency of removing protuberance than recess fast, and can improve with respect to etch-rate at the filling material 36 of first mask layer, 22 side film forming, in addition, can improve the planarization effect.
When the height of the upper surface of the filling material in the recess 34 36 is almost consistent with the height of stopper film 35 upper surfaces, ion beam milling is stopped.Thus, as shown in Figure 7, the unnecessary filling material 36 on the record key element 32A is removed substantially.Also have, first mask layer 22 though its end is removed fast than other parts, remains on the stopper film 35 with the state that covers stopper film 35 fully.Thereby record key element 32A is protected the ion beam milling effect that exempts from by first mask layer 22.Also have, even just in case the end of first mask layer 22 is removed the position of the upper surface of stopper film 35, record key element 32A is protected the effect that exempts from ion beam milling by stopper film 35.
As mentioned above, the height of filling material 36 upper surfaces in recess 34, when almost consistent with the height of stopper film 35 upper surfaces, first mask layer 22 is to be lower than SiO with respect to the etch-rate ion beam milling that utilizes Ar gas, C (the first mask layer 22=fixes tentatively base material) with the residual reason of the state that covers stopper film 35 fully 2The etch-rate of (filling material 36).With respect to this, by utilization have with the C chemical reaction remove C character reacting gas as processing use gas, can make both etch-rates identical, perhaps make its counter-rotating.For example, by utilizing Ar gas and O 2Or O 3The mixed gas of gas with gas and adjust their throughput ratio, can make both etch-rates identical as processing, perhaps makes its counter-rotating.
When the etch-rate with respect to C (the first mask layer 22=fixes tentatively base material) is higher than with respect to SiO 2During the etch-rate of (filling material 36), as shown in Figure 8, table on the filling material 36 in the recess 34 and height when almost consistent with the height of stopper film 35 upper surfaces, near the part in the end of first mask layer 22 is removed the upper surface up to stopper film 35.By like this, the filling material 36 that covers first mask layer, 22 sides is positively removed, thereby can realize high-precision planarization.
Like this; when making etch-rate with respect to the tentative base material of the first mask layer 22=be higher than etch-rate with respect to filling material 36; 32A exempts from etched effect for protection record key element, as this first embodiment, especially preferably covers the upper surface of record key element 32A with stopper film 35.
Also have, at this moment, if the etch-rate that stopper film 35 is removed the dry-etching of operation (S106) with respect to filling material is lower than the etch-rate of filling material 36, then can easily controls filling material and remove etched stopping in the operation (S106), and it is can improve machining precision, so even more ideal.In this first embodiment, the material of stopper film 35 is Ta, and the material of filling material 36 is SiO 2, and the etch-rate of Ta of removing the dry-etching of operation (S106) with respect to filling material is lower than SiO 2Etch-rate, so satisfy this condition.
Also have, when the etch-rate that makes both equates, as shown in Figure 9, when the height of 36 upper surfaces of the filling material in the recess 34 is almost consistent with the height of stopper film 35 upper surfaces, first mask layer 22, with the state that covers stopper film 35 fully and make its end portion thickness almost become 0 mode, remain on the stopper film 35.By like this, the filling material 36 that is covered with first mask layer, 22 sides is positively removed, and can protect record key element 32 to avoid the effect of ion beam.
Then, carry out planarization operation (S108).Specifically, be higher than SiO according to etch-rate C (the first mask layer 22=fixes tentatively base material) 2The etching method of the etch-rate of (filling material 36) as shown in figure 10, is removed first mask layer 22 and is made flattening surface.For example, can use O 2Or O 3Gas is as the reactive ion etching of reacting gas.
Thus, in the time of the processing of the filling material 36 of inhibition formation recess, remove first mask layer 22 that constitutes protuberance rapidly.Constitute first mask layer of protuberance, because its width and temporary generation etch-rate is poor, but the first whole at short notice mask layers is removed.Also have, remove operation (S106) afterwards at filling material, the part of residual unnecessary filling material 36 on first mask layer 22 sometimes, and this also is removed together with first mask layer 22.Also have, fill the filling material 36 of stopper film 35 and recess 34, the etch-rate in the planarization operation (S106) is lower than first mask layer 22, thus with these upper surface height almost the state of unanimity be held.That is, make flattening surface.Also have, record key element 32A is protected in order to avoid suffer etched effect by stopper film 35.
Like this, first mask layer, 22 double as are fixed tentatively base material, in planarization operation (S108), constitute protuberance first mask layer 22 (tentative base material) no matter its width what, and optionally be removed at short notice, thereby prevent the difference or the difference in height of surfaceness.
Below, form the protective seam 38 of DLC at the upper surface of record key element 32A and filling material 36 with the thickness of 1~5nm by the CVD method, and then, with the thickness of 1~2nm the lubricating layer 40 of PFPE is coated in (S110) on the protective seam 38 with infusion process.Thus, finish magnetic recording media shown in Figure 2 as described above 30.
As described above, in the filling material film formation process (S104), even filling material 36 film forming are in the side of first mask layer (tentative base material) 22, this part, by having the dry-etching method of removing the tendency of protuberance than the recess selectivity fast, remove in the operation (S106) at filling material and be removed.Also have, double as is fixed tentatively first mask layer 22 of base material and is remained in the part of the unnecessary filling material 36 on it, be higher than etching method by etch-rate, in planarization operation (S108), removed and make flattening surface by selectivity to the etch-rate of filling material 36 to first mask layer (tentative base material) 22.Make the surperficial smooth really of (writing down on the key element 32A) stopper film 35 and filling material 36 form protective seam 38, lubricating layer 40 afterwards like this, so magnetic recording media 30, the surface is very smooth, and can positively obtain good head gimbal characteristic.
