Definitions
- the present invention relates to a (Co, Fe) -lanthanoid alloy and a sputtering target material for a soft magnetic thin film layer in a perpendicular magnetic recording medium.
- the progress of magnetic recording technology has been remarkable, and in order to increase the capacity of the drive, the recording density of the magnetic recording medium has been increased, and a higher recording density can be realized than the in-plane magnetic recording medium that has been popular in the past.
- a perpendicular magnetic recording system has been put into practical use.
- the perpendicular magnetic recording system is a method suitable for high recording density, in which the easy magnetization axis is oriented in the perpendicular direction with respect to the medium surface in the magnetic film of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium.
- a two-layer recording medium having a magnetic recording film layer and a soft magnetic film layer with improved recording sensitivity has been developed.
- a CoCrPt—SiO 2 alloy is used for the magnetic recording film layer.
- a conventional soft magnetic film layer needs to have a high saturation magnetic flux density (hereinafter referred to as Bs) and an amorphous property. Further, depending on the application and use environment of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium, it has high corrosion resistance and high hardness. Various characteristics have been additionally required. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-299905 (Patent Document 1), high Bs is obtained by adding Fe, and high hardness is obtained by adding B. In JP 2011-68985 (Patent Document 2), the corrosion resistance (weather resistance) is improved by adding Y or Ti.
- an amorphous alloy having a low Bs is used for the soft magnetic layer of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium as described above. That is, an amorphous alloy having low Bs has a large decrease range of Bs as the temperature rises, and Bs under a temperature environment (for example, about 70 to 150 ° C.) higher than room temperature to which the drive is exposed becomes remarkably low. The function as the soft magnetic layer of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium cannot be sufficiently performed.
- the present inventors have examined various additive elements in detail for Bs and temperature characteristics of the soft magnetic film alloy of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium. It was found that there is an inverse correlation between the Bs of B and the decrease in Bs from room temperature to 150 ° C. However, the addition of an element belonging to the lanthanoid deviates from this inverse correlation, and the present inventors found that the Bs reduction range up to 150 ° C. can be significantly reduced compared with an alloy having the same Bs at room temperature. .
- an object of the present invention is to provide a soft magnetic alloy for perpendicular magnetic recording media having a high saturation magnetic flux density at a high temperature relative to a saturation magnetic flux density at room temperature, and a sputtering target material for producing a thin film of this alloy. is there.
- a soft magnetic thin film layer made of the above alloy is provided.
- a perpendicular magnetic recording medium having the soft magnetic thin film layer is provided.
- a sputtering target material comprising the above alloy is provided.
- the soft magnetic alloy for perpendicular magnetic recording media has a small decrease in Bs at a high temperature relative to Bs at room temperature, that is, a high temperature of about 70 to 150 ° C. at which the drive is exposed during use. , And a sputtering target material for producing a thin film of this alloy.
- the alloy of the present invention in a perpendicular magnetic recording medium, the magnetic properties of the soft magnetic alloy can be fully exhibited, and the function of the soft magnetic thin film layer can be sufficiently enhanced. This can lead to an improvement in the performance of the magnetic recording medium.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an X-ray diffraction pattern of a 39% Co-39% Fe-8% Zr-6% B-8% (additive element) alloy made of a quenched ribbon. It is the figure which plotted Bs and Bs ratio of room temperature in Table 1. It is the figure which plotted Bs and Bs ratio of room temperature in Table 2.
- Bs at room temperature and its temperature characteristics of the soft magnetic film alloy of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium were examined in detail for various additive elements. As a result, Bs at room temperature and Bs from room temperature to 150 ° C. It was found that there was an inverse correlation between the drop widths. However, when an element belonging to a lanthanoid was added, it was found that the inverse correlation relationship was removed, and the Bs decrease width up to 150 ° C. was significantly reduced as compared with an alloy having an equivalent Bs at room temperature.
- the characteristics and operation of the amorphous soft magnetic alloy found by the present invention based on the above findings and having a small Bs decrease width at high temperatures relative to Bs at room temperature will be described below.
- the elements belonging to the lanthanoids having atomic numbers 57 to 71 are La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu.
- TLA 0.5 ⁇ TLA ⁇ 15 (TLA is the total amount of elements added to the lanthanoids having atomic numbers 57 to 71)
- TAM Y + Ti + Zr + Hf + V + Nb + Ta + B / 2) Total amount of addition amount, B alone being 1/2 times the value.

Moreover, when it is not completely amorphous, although a diffraction peak is seen, a peak height becomes low compared with a crystalline material, and a halo pattern is also seen. Therefore, amorphousness was evaluated by the following method. The test material was attached to a glass plate with a double-sided tape, and a diffraction pattern was obtained with an X-ray diffractometer.

The size of the crucible is 120 mm in diameter and 150 mm in height. From the lower part of the ingot, a sputtering target material having a diameter of 95 mm and a thickness of 2 mm was produced by lathe processing, wire cutting processing, and plane polishing processing. Machinability was evaluated by the occurrence of chips and cracks during these processes.
