Description
(1)製膜時に金属(Sb、Ag、Cu)もしくは酸化物(MgO、SiO2、B2O3、ZrO2)からなる添加物を加える方法(例えば、非特許文献1、2、特許文献1。)。
(2)製膜後に急速加熱熱処理を行う方法(例えば、非特許文献3、4。)。
(3)製膜時に金属(Sb、Ag、Cu)もしくは酸化物(MgO、SiO2、B2O3、ZrO2)からなる添加物を加え、製膜後に急速加熱熱処理を行う方法(例えば、非特許文献5〜7。)。
図1に本発明の磁気記録媒体の作製方法の一例のフローチャートを示す。また、図2(a)には作製途中の本発明の磁気記録媒体の一例の断面を概略的に示し、図2(b)には加熱工程S2の一例を概略的に示す。
工程S1は、基板1上にFePt合金と、後に説明する所定の金属の酸化物とを含有した薄膜2を形成する工程である(図2(a)参照)。本発明に用いることができる基板1は、磁気記録媒体の作製に用いることができるものであれば特に限定されない。例えば、金属製の基板やガラス製の基板を基板1として用いることができる。ただし、実用的な磁気記録媒体を作製する場合には、薄膜2の下部にソフト磁性層(保磁力の小さな材料、Co系アモルファスなど)を積層することが好ましい。
工程S2は、工程S1で得られた薄膜2を所定の温度まで加熱する工程である。工程S2を経ることによって、薄膜2を磁気記録層2’(図2(b)参照。)とすることができる。
本発明の磁気記録媒体の作製方法は、少なくとも上記工程S1及び工程S2を備えており、さらに工程S2の後に磁気記録層2’上に薄い保護層を形成する工程を備えていてよい。この保護層は、例えばDLC(ダイヤモンド型カーボン)によって構成されるものとすることができる。保護層を形成する方法は特に限定されず、例えば、プラズマ気相成長法等で製膜することができる。
本発明の磁気記録媒体は、上記した本発明の磁気記録媒体の作製方法によって得られる。すなわち、本発明の磁気記録媒体は、L10規則構造を有したFePt合金と、100℃以上500℃以下の融点を持つ金属の酸化物と、を含む磁気記録層を備えている。当該金属は、室温での酸化物生成自由エネルギーΔGf 0が−800kJ/mol以上、−500kJ/mol以下であることが好ましい。このような金属酸化物として、ZnOが特に好ましい。また、ZnOを磁気記録層にZnOを含ませる場合、ZnOの含有量は、L10FePt合金とZnOとの合計量に対して、2.5体積%以上20体積%以下であることが好ましい。
以下に説明する手順で複数の試料を作製した。まず、合金膜作製用スパッタ装置(Arガス圧:0.5Pa)を用いて、Fe、Pt、及びZnO(全てフルウチ化学株式会社製)をそれぞれターゲットとして、熱酸化Si(Si基板の表面がSiO2の酸化膜で覆われている。)の基板上に、FePt合金に所定量のZnOが添加された薄膜を製膜した。得られた薄膜の膜厚は、ZnOの添加量によって異なり、6.9nm+ZnO添加分となるようにした。すなわち、薄膜の膜厚は、6.9×(1+x)nmとなるようにした(xは、薄膜全体におけるFePt合金に対するZnOの割合)。製膜後、赤外線急速加熱装置(真空理工株式会社製、VHC−P45C−S)を用いて、真空雰囲気(2.0×10−4Pa)で上記薄膜を所定の温度(以下、「熱処理温度」という。)まで56℃/秒で昇温し、その熱処理温度で10分間保持した。
上記手順で作製した試料について、X線解析装置(日本電子株式会社製、JDX―3530、以下「XRD」という。)を用いた構造解析と、振動試料型磁力計(株式会社東栄科学産業製、VSM5s型−15、以下「VSM」という。)を用いた磁化測定と、走査プローブ顕微鏡( SIIナノテクノロジー社、E−Sweep、以下「SPM」という。)を用いた表面形状の観察とを行った。
