には合金磁性膜か有力とされている。For example, in a magnetic disk, after applying a hardening process such as alumite processing or amorphous plating on a disk-shaped aluminum alloy plate, r-F'ezOs (gamma type ferric oxide) is the main component, Oxide magnetic material with Co (cobalt) added, or Go-Ni (cobalt-Nitsuke A/), Co-P (cobalt-phosphorus), C
A magnetic layer is formed by applying an alloy magnetic material such as o-N1-P (cobalt-nickel-phosphorus), or by plating, sputtering, or the like. In particular, alloy magnetic films are considered to be effective in improving recording density.

面に床獲層を設けている。However, alloy magnetic films have low corrosion resistance, and those formed of materials other than amorphous have low wear resistance, so a bed layer is provided on the surface of the magnetic layer.

Rh (adium) electroplated layer of about 0.1 μm, O,
Attempts have been made to use an alumina sputter layer with a thickness of approximately 0.5 μm or an 810 (silicon oxide) coating with a thickness of approximately 0.5 μm. In addition, there is also a method in which the absorbing layer is mainly composed of nitride, particularly iron nitride (Fe4N), and is formed on the magnetic film by sputtering.

タリング用のターゲットを得ることを目的とする。[Problem to be Solved by the Invention J] Since the conventional sputtering target is formed as described above, the entire target is formed of a material metal that sputters on the adherend. However, in spackling, the entire target is not used and only a portion of the remaining wood is cut, resulting in poor target yield and resulting in high-field targets.This invention solves the above-mentioned problems. This was done to solve the problem, and the purpose is to make effective use of the target and to obtain an inexpensive sputtering target.

As a target, an iron nitride layer was formed on the surface of a disk (diameter Bow, thickness 2 mm) made of high-purity iron (E'e) by soft nitriding using a salt bath. That is, a titanium-fined mild steel pot was charged with sodium cyanide, heated to 570°C, and air was blown with an air blower to form a stable nitrided layer (

:NaCN0 ratio). In addition to using a known soft nitriding method, a high purity reagent was used as the salt bath agent. Nitriding was performed for 4 hours under these conditions. by this,
Excluding the internal expansion layer, the surface has an iron nitride layer (re4) with a thickness of several tens of μm.

Using the prepared target, a bed peritoneum mainly composed of iron nitride was formed by sputtering. The sputtering conditions were an argon atmosphere of 5XlO” TOrr, 3
The film formation rate was set at 0 A/min.

The head was replaced with a new one for each test disk, and the effect of contact friction on the head and disk was observed.
この試験の結果、ヘッドが磁気ディスクに食い込んで、

I passed this test without any issues that would cause me to be unable to record or play back.

た。In terms of other performances, magnetic disks made using the target of the present invention were not inferior to magnetic disks made using conventional sintered iron nitride targets.
なお、ここでは塩浴による軟窒化法を用いた例について
示したが、ガスによる軟窒化法も公用されておりアンモ
ニア等のガスの純度等に配慮すれば、塩浴による場合よ
り良質の窒化鉄層が形成できるというメリットがある。Although an example using a soft nitriding method using a salt bath is shown here, a soft nitriding method using a gas is also commonly used, and if consideration is given to the purity of gases such as ammonia, better quality iron nitride can be obtained than when using a salt bath. It has the advantage that layers can be formed.

サブストレートが昇温されることがないため、サブスト
レートの繰返し使用、即ち、薄い窒化層がスパッタによ
りなくなってしまった時、再窒化して使用する際の歪等
が少なくてすむ等のメリットもある。Furthermore, if the ion nitriding method is used, the iron substrate will not be heated above 500°C, so if the substrate is used repeatedly, that is, when the thin nitrided layer is lost due to sputtering, it can be re-nitrided. There are also advantages such as less distortion during use.
また、ターゲットの主成分材料となる金属を高純度鉄で
示したが、これ以外にAl、02などの金属を用いて表
面を窒化して窒化層を形成したものであってもよい。Further, although high-purity iron is used as the metal that is the main component of the target, other metals such as Al and 02 may be used to nitride the surface to form a nitrided layer.
また、上記一実施例においては磁気ディスクの床aMの
形it−例として示したが、これ以外のスパッタリング
に使用できることはgうまでもない。Further, in the above embodiment, the floor aM of the magnetic disk was shown as an example, but it goes without saying that it can be used for sputtering other than this.
