Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a protective film at high formation rate by using heat- resistant films to form the top end of a nozzle for forming the protective film and bringing the top end of the nozzle into contact with a can. CONSTITUTION:The top end of a discharge tube nozzle 8 comprising quartz glass, etc., consists of heat-resistant polymer films 9. In this constitution, films are attached to the top end of the nozzle 8 in a manner that the medium is covered with the heat-resistant films 9 wholly in the width direction and that the films 9 make an angle in the traveling direction of the medium. Therefore, concentration of stress in one point of the medium from the heat-resistant film 9 can be avoided. By controlling the space between the films, the inner pressure of the discharge tube can be controlled. Thus, the film formation rate can be increased about twice.

2. Description of the Related Art In order to improve the still durability and running durability of metal thin film magnetic recording media, the use of sputtering or plasma CVD to provide a carbon-based protective film has become central. We are conducting research using a method in which material in a plasma state inside a discharge tube is sprayed onto the surface of a thin film medium. To ensure the nozzle internal pressure, the gap between the can and the can should be increased from 1.01 to 0.
.. At present, it is managed to be about 51 and controlled by gas flow rate. This method reduces the nozzle internal pressure to 0.05 to
0.5 torr can be secured from rr. At this time, the vacuum degree of the vacuum equipment is 1xlO'torr to 1xlO'
It is about torr.

However, if you want to increase the nozzle internal pressure and increase the film deposition rate, the only way to do this is to narrow the gap between the can and the nozzle or increase the exhaust capacity. This is not common because it increases the cost, and gap control between the can and the nozzle is an elemental technology for increasing the nozzle internal pressure. However, 5
Gap control of 0.5 mm or less over a width of 0.00 cm or more is becoming quite difficult due to the problem of thermal expansion of the nozzle material.

5. The tip of the discharge tube nozzle 8 made of quartz glass or the like.
The cabinet is made of heat-resistant polymer film L9. Here, a heat-resistant film having a glass transition point of 130°C or higher can be used, such as polyimide film, aramid film, etc., but in this example, 2.
A polyimide film with a thickness of 0 μm was used. In addition,
The thickness of the film could be from 10 μm to 100 μm. When the thickness is less than 10 μm, the resistance to gas flow due to the film attached to the tip becomes weak, and there is almost no significant difference in the internal pressure inside the discharge tube compared to when no film is attached. Moreover, when the thickness exceeds 100 μm, the film loses its softness and becomes susceptible to scratches due to contact with the metal thin film.

An example of forming the heat-resistant film 9 on the tip of the discharge tube nozzle 8 is shown in FIG. 3. FIGS. As shown in the figure, the entire width direction of the medium is covered with a heat-resistant film 9, while in the running direction of the medium, the heat-resistant film 9 is formed at an angle at the tip of the nozzle. This is to prevent the stress of the heat-resistant film 9 from being applied only to the same point on the medium, and also to enable control of the internal pressure of the discharge tube by adjusting the gap between the films.

A sample was created while comparing it with a method of securing internal pressure. This is summarized in Table 1.

(Margins below) Fifty people formed a lubricant layer 1 containing futusocarboxylic acid on the media of samples N11l to 6 by a coating method, cut it into 8-inch widths with a slitter, and then 8-VTR.
We checked the still durability and running durability. The measurement environment was 23° C.-10%. Still durability was defined as the life span when the output decreased by 3.0 dB compared to the initial stage. In addition, running durability is expressed as the clogging time per 100 hours when a 120-minute length 0 tape is repeatedly run for 300 passes, and the decrease in output after 300 passes is compared with the initial state.
