Definitions
- the present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium applied to a hard disk drive and a method for manufacturing the medium.
- a CoCr-based alloy polycrystalline film composed of three or more elements has been used as a material of the magnetic layer.
- Cr contained in the magnetic grains of the magnetic layer is segregated at the grain boundaries, and the grain boundaries are demagnetized to reduce the interaction between grains. .
- the Cr addition rate to the alloy was increased, Ta was added, and the substrate was heated during the film forming process.
- a CoCr-based alloy magnetic material is used as the material of the magnetic layer. Must be used. Thinning of the magnetic layer and miniaturization of crystal grains When this is promoted, the volume of each magnetic grain decreases, and ultimately, thermal disturbance occurs to make it superparamagnetic, and the magnetic recording state cannot be maintained.
- the best way to reduce the volume of each magnetic grain to the smallest possible amount is to use a magnetic material with a high anisotropy constant Ku.
- the value of Ku is reduced by about one order of magnitude by adding Cr to a single element of Co. Therefore, the use of a CoCr-based alloy hinders the maintenance of the Ku value. Also, there is a problem that the corrosion resistance of the single element element of Co is poor.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a high-density magnetic recording medium having a high recording density.
- Another object of the present invention is to reduce the thickness of a magnetic layer of a magnetic recording medium.

- the use of a CoCr-based alloy as a material for the magnetic layer has been revised, and a Co-based alloy in which a nonmagnetic element different from Cr is added to a single element of Co is used as the material of the magnetic layer. Used. According to the present invention, the reduction of the value of Ku due to alloying is suppressed, and the problem of thinning the magnetic layer of the magnetic recording medium is solved.
- the grain boundary region can be made non-magnetic by segregating Cr from the base to the crystal grain boundaries. Specifically, the diffusion of Cr from the underlayer to the crystal grain boundaries of the magnetic layer is induced by post annealing. As a result, the magnetic layer has a structure in which Cr exists only near the crystal grain boundaries, and the nonmagnetic state of the grain boundary region of the magnetic layer is realized. Since the grain boundary region of the magnetic layer is nonmagnetic, the magnetic interaction between grains is reduced, and the noise of the magnetic recording medium is reduced.

- the underlayer 3 is made of, for example, magne
- the film is formed by a sputtering method such as a tron sputtering method. Suitable film formation conditions include, for example, a substrate temperature of 30 ° C., an Ar gas pressure of 3 to 5 mTorr, and an input power of 100 to 800 W.
- the thickness of the underlayer 3 is determined within a wide range according to various factors, but in order to increase the S / N ratio, 2 ⁇ ! Les, preferably set within the range of ⁇ 14 nm. If the thickness of the underlayer is less than 2 nm, there is a problem that the magnetic properties cannot be sufficiently obtained. Conversely, if the thickness exceeds 14 nm, noise tends to increase.
- the magnetic layer 4 is made of a Co-based alloy containing cobalt as a main component.
- An alloy in which a nonmagnetic substance other than ⁇ r is added to 0, for example, a CoPt alloy, a CoW alloy, or the like is formed.
- the magnetic layer 4 is preferably formed by a sputtering method such as a magnetron sputtering method. Suitable film forming conditions include, for example, a substrate temperature of 30 ° C., an Ar gas pressure of 3 to 5 m Torr, 800W input power. Further, instead of the sputtering method, another film forming method, for example, a vapor deposition method, an ion beam sputtering method, or the like may be used.

- the magnetic interaction between the crystal grains of the magnetic layer 4 is hit by the diffusion of Cr into the crystal grain boundaries of the magnetic ttS 4. Thereby, generation of noise in the magnet 4 is suppressed.
- the post-annealing is performed after the protective layer 5 containing carbon as a main component is formed as described above, the carbon reaches the surface of the underlayer 3 through the crystal grain boundary, and Cr of the underlayer 3 is reduced. Since a layer that inhibits the diffusion of the magnetic layer 4 to the grain boundaries is formed, it is preferable to perform the post-anneal after the magnetic layer 4 is formed and before the protective layer 5 is formed. In addition, before the protective layer 5 is formed, the magnetic layer 4 is exposed, and when the substrate 2 is exposed to air in this state, an oxide film is formed on the surface. Since this oxide film is condensed in the substrate and causes surface roughness, it is desirable to perform the post annealing while maintaining the vacuum after laminating the magnetic layer 4.

- Figure 5 (a) shows Pt as an additive
- Figure 5 (b) shows the additive. Is a graph when Cr is added. From Fig. 5 (a) and Fig. 5 (b), it is clear that as the concentration of the additive increases, Ku becomes lower than 4 e + 6 (erg / cc), which is a single element of Co, Ku. I understand. However, the degree of reduction is larger than that of adding Pt with Cr added as an additive, and shows a high reduction rate in the region where the Cr concentration is 5 at% or less.
- the Cr concentration is 5 at% or less, and preferably, Ku of at least half of the Ku of the single element of Co can be obtained at 3 at% or less. It is desirable to suppress to.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the relationship between the ratio of Cr and Pt in CoCrPt (concentration of Co is 78% of a fixed value) and the value of Ku. From FIG. 6, it can be seen that the value of Ku decreases as the proportion of Pt decreases and the proportion of Cr increases. When the Pt ratio is 0 and the Cr addition ratio is 22%, which is a practical addition ratio, Ku is 4 e +5 (erg / cc), and the K single element K u is about 1 Z10.
- FIG. 7 is a graph showing the relationship between the W addition ratio and the value of Ku in CoW. According to Fig. 7, when the W addition rate is in the range of 0 to 16 at%, the value of u increases as the W addition rate increases, but the Ku value sharply increases when the W addition rate exceeds 16 at%. It can be seen that is decreasing. However, it shows a higher Ku value at CoCr than when Cr is added at the same concentration. According to FIG. 7, if CoW is used for the magnetic layer, it is desirable that the W concentration be 16 at% or less.

- the composition of the magnetic layer 4 of the medium A is 75 at% cobalt and 13 at% chromium.
- a protective layer 5 is formed on the magnetic layer S4.
- the protective layer 5 is made of a magnetic layer under the conditions of a substrate temperature of 30 ° C., an Ar gas pressure of the sputtering chamber of 3 mT orr, and an input power of 1 kW.
- a 5 nm thick film was formed on the 4 '.
- the cross-sectional shape of the medium C is as shown in FIG.
- the manufacturing process is almost the same as that for medium A, as shown in Fig. 11.However, the difference from the manufacturing process for medium A is that when magnetic film 4 is formed by sputtering at 250 ° C. This is the point of heating.
- the Ku value of 3.7 e + 6 (erg / c c) was obtained from the medium C prepared as described above.
- the diffusion of Cr to the grain boundaries of the magnetic layer did not occur, resulting in a HcZHlO.1 or less.
- Ku since a Co-based alloy to which Cr is not added is used as the material of the magnetic layer, Ku maintains a high value.
- the high Ku value reduces the volume of crystal grains at which the magnetic properties begin to deteriorate due to thermal disturbance, and promotes thinning of the magnetic film. As a result, the area occupied by one bit can be reduced, and higher recording density can be achieved.
- a Cr-based alloy is used as a material of the underlayer, Cr can be diffused from the underlayer to the magnetic grain boundaries. The diffusion of Cr to the grain boundaries demagnetizes the grain boundaries of the magnetic ft®. As a result, the magnetic interaction between grains is suppressed, and the noise of the magnetic recording medium is reduced.
- the magnetic tt ⁇ can be made thinner, noise can be reduced, and the recording density of the magnetic recording medium can be increased.
