Problems solved by technology

[0006] In order to increase the thermal agitation resistance of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium, it is effective to increase the magnetic anisotropy energy of the magnetic particles, but in this case the magnetic field necessary for recording is increased
On the other hand, since the recording magnetic field that can be generated from the recording head is limited when the necessary recording magnetic field is increased, recording is difficult when using a recording head that may significantly degrade the recording / reproducing characteristics
In addition, the thermal agitation resistance can also be improved by making the magnetic particles in the magnetic recording layer larger; however, in this case, the fine zigzag shape of the magnetization transition region is usually enlarged to possibly increase the media noise
[0007] As described above, the means for increasing the thermal agitation resistance are generally accompanied by a decrease in recording / reproducing characteristics in a high recording density area

Embodiment 1

[0132] By the DC sputtering method using an in-line sputtering device, a multilayer thin film was formed on a clean strengthened glass substrate of the magnetic disk. As a multilayer film, first by using AlTi 50 target (the subscript values ​​show here and hereinafter the atomic % of the content of the elements in the alloy) to prepare an AlTi amorphous alloy layer with a thickness of 30 nm. Next, by using FeCo 34 Ta 10 Zr 5 target to prepare the soft magnetic amorphous film to 30nm, to prepare the antiferromagnetic coupling film to 0.5nm by using the Ru target, and again to use the FeCo 34 Ta 10 Zr 5 target to prepare the soft magnetic amorphous thin film with a thickness of 30nm to form a soft magnetic back pad layer 12 with a three-layer stacked structure. The processing gas for each of the above layers during film formation was Ar and the gas pressure was 1 Pa. In addition, sequentially under the Ar pressure of 2Pa by using NiW 8 target to prepare the NiW alloy see...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a perpendicular magnetic recording medium and a perpendicular magnetic recording type magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus using the same. Background technique [0002] Hard disk drives (HDDs) have become indispensable information storage devices in computers and various consumer electronics products, especially in the application of large-capacity information storage. Magnetic recording systems are basically classified into two types of technical methods based on the direction of the magnetization vector in the magnetic recording layer in the magnetic recording medium. One of the methods is longitudinal magnetic recording (LMR) and the other is perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR). In recent years, HDD recording systems have been in transition from longitudinal magnetic recording systems to perpendicular magnetic recording systems. Although the recording density obtained by the longitudinal magnetic recordi...
