Abstract
High density magnetic recording requires the write head materials to have high saturation magnetic flux density. Preparation of such materials has been achieved by providing an aqueous solution of nickel, iron, and cobalt salts, each present within a specified concentration range, together with selected additives. When used, under the specified operating conditions, as the electrolyte during electro-deposition, said solution provides a ferromagnetic layer having improved magnetic properties, particularly high saturation magnetic flux density. One embodiment of the process teaches formation of pole tips for use in a magnetic write head.
Description
- The invention relates to the general field of magnetic films with particular reference to the formation of pole pieces for magnetic recording heads.
- High density magnetic recording (>80 Gb/in2) requires thin film inductive write head materials to have high saturation magnetic flux density. FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a write head. The magnetic field that will write data onto a surface that is a magnetic medium, such as the hard disk in a hard drive, as it moves past the head is generated by electric current in
coil 14. Surrounding this coil is uppermagnetic layer 13 which is magnetically and physically connected to lower magnetic layer 111 throughsection 12. The inside of the structure is filled withinsulating material 18, such as aluminum oxide. Upper and lower magnetic pole tips, 17 and 15 respectively, complete the magnetic circuit with a narrownon-magnetic gap 16 where the magnetic fringe field will be generated by electric current incoil 14 and is sufficient to write the data. - In order to generate the high magnetic field near
gap 16, all parts of the magnetic circuit in FIG. 1 must be made of soft magnetic materials that have sufficient high saturation magnetic moment, particularlypole tips - Recently, Osaka e al. have described, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,120,918, electro-deposited CoNiFe films consisting of 40-70 wt. % Co, 20-40 wt. % Fe, 10-20 Wt % Ni, and <0.1 wt. % S, having a Bs (saturation magnetic flux induction) of 2.0 T and report having fabricated these CoNiFe films into magnetic recording heads as top and bottom write poles.
- The present invention describes the electro-deposition of similar films having a somewhat different composition which results in improved film properties, both magnetic and physical.
- A routine search of the prior art was performed with the following references of interest being found:
- In U.S. Pat. No. 5,935,403, Suzuki shows a plating method for a FeNiCo layer. Shukovsky et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,830,587 and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,571,573, show other plating methods for NiCoFe as well as other layers. U.S. Pat. No. 6,150,046 (Watanabe et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 4,661,216 (Anderson et al.), JP 101997267 (Tachibana Hiroaki), U.S. Pat. No. 6,063,512 (Osaka et al.), and JP11074122 (Ohashi) all are related patents. The above cited prior art does not show the saturation magnetic moment, BS, of the plated film to be greater than 2.0 T. High Bs of the film used for the write-head element is necessary for high density recording technology.
- It has been an object of at least one embodiment of the present invention to provide a process for the formation, through electro-deposition, of films having high saturation magnetic moment.
- Another object of at least one embodiment of the present invention has been that said process be suitable for forming alloys of nickel, iron, and cobalt.
- Still another object of at least one embodiment of the present invention has been to provide an apparatus for implementing said process.
- A further object of at least one embodiment of the present invention has been to provide a process for forming a magnetic pole piece suitable for use in a magnetic disk write head.
- These objects have been achieved by providing an aqueous solution of nickel, iron, and cobalt salts, each present within a specified concentration range, together with selected additives. When used, under the specified operating conditions, as the electrolyte during electro-deposition, said solution provides a ferromagnetic layer having improved magnetic properties, particularly high saturation magnetic moment. One embodiment of the process teaches formation of a pole piece for use in a magnetic write head.
- FIG. 1 shows a typical write head for a magnetic disk system
- The present invention uses conventional electroplating technology. However, if the particular solution compositions and plating conditions that are disclosed herein are utilized, films having improved properties, both magnetic and physical, realtive to the known prior art, will be obtained.
- In order to obtain, through electroplating, films having a composition between about 50 and 85 weight % iron, between about 0 and 30 weight % nickel, and between about 0 and 50 weight % cobalt, the following aqueous solution was used:
- NiSO4.6H2O at a concentration of between 0 and 80 g/L,
- NiCl2.6H2O at a concentration of between 0 and 50 g/L,
- CoSO4.7H2O at a concentration of between 0 and 50 g/L,
- FeSO4.7H2O at a concentration of between 10 and 70 g/L,
- H3BO3 at a concentration of between 26 and 27 g/L,
- NH4Cl at a concentration of between 0 and 20 g/L,
- (NH4)2SO4 at a concentration of between 0 and 20 g/L,
- Sodium Saccharin at a concentration of between 0 and 2.0 g/L, and
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate at a concentration of between 0.01 and 0.15 g/L.
- Our preferred pH for the process has been about 3.1 but any pH in the range of from 2 to 4 could have been used. pH for the solution was adjusted through controlled addition of H2SO4 and NH3.H2O. Solution temperature was maintained at between about 10 and 40° C. while films were being deposited, with about 20° C. being preferred. A silicon wafer is used as a substrate for full film electro-deposition. A thin copper seed layer (500-1,000 Å) is sputtered onto the wafer before electro-deposition and made the cathode during electro-deposition.
- Our preferred current density during electro-deposition, was about 15 mA/cm2 but the process could still be operated successfully over a current density range of from about 3 to about 30 mA/cm2. Anodes of either cobalt or nickel anode could be used.
- As indicated in FIG. 1, a thin film write head has a multilayer structure. Thousands of heads are fabricated on a ceramic Al2O3-TiC wafer. In order to electro-deposit pole tips (15 and 17 in FIG. 1) made of the disclosed film, it is necessary to first sputter a metal seed layer (500-1,000 Å) having the same composition as the film to be plated onto the wafer. The conductive seed layer will serve as a cathode during electro-deposition. Then a 3-7 micron thick layer of photoresist is spin coated onto the top of the seed layer, followed by photolithography to create a pattern having the desired pole tip shape within the photoresist layer.
- After a film of the desired composition had been electro-deposited through the resist pattern (typically to a thickness between about 1 and 5 microns), according to the conditions related above, both photoresist and seed layers were removed, resulting in the formation of the pole tip. This was followed by a heat treatment at a temperature between about 100 and 300° C. for between about 60 and 120 minutes in nitrogen, for NiFe and FeCoNi films. CoFe films may craze if treated at high temperature.
- If the above outlined procedures are followed, films having excellent magnetic and physical properties can be obtained. Typically the saturation magnetic moment of the films was between about 2 and 2.2 T. They had coercive fields between about 3 and 17 Oe and anisotropy fields between about 5 and 38 Oe.
- The films had a BCC (body centered cubic) crystal structure and were found to have low internal tensile stress, normally between about 100 and 300 Mpa. A low level of internal stress can prevent the plated film from peeling off the substrate.
- RESULTS:
- In TABLE I below we compare the properties of three films of different composition, deposited according to the teachings of the present invention:
TABLE I PROPERTY Fe82Ni18 Fe68Ni21Co11 Fe66Co34 Saturation magnetic 2.1 T 2.2 T 2.2 T flux density Coercive field 3.5 Oe 5.5 Oe 16 Oe Anisotropy field 5.1 Oe 8.9 Oe 34 Oe Electrical resistivity 23 μΩ-cm 23 μΩ-cm — Tensile stress 150 MPa 130 MPa ˜200 MPa - The significance of the data shown in TABLE I is that the saturation magnetc moment Bs is greater than 2 T for the plated film and the films are magnetically soft enough to be used in a write element, such as the pole pieces seen in FIG. 1.
