Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the present inventors' research results show that when the grooves between the magnetic patterns are filled with a non-magnetic material by bias sputtering, the temperature rise caused by the bias of the substrate deteriorates or affects the magnetic recording medium
It was also found that during processing, biased sputtering creates dust that sticks to the media surface and tends to cause head crashes

example 1

[0067] Using the stamper, press Figures 2A to 2J shown method to fabricate DTR media, wherein the stamper is formed as figure 1 Servo patterns (preamble, address, burst) and land and valley patterns of the recording track are shown. Specifically, during the filling process of the non-magnetic material 55 ( Figure 2F ), deposited Ni with a thickness of 50nm under high pressure (7.0Pa) 60 Nb 25 Ti 15 film as a multi-element amorphous alloy. During the etch back process ( Figure 2G ), using an ECRU ion gun to apply Ar ions for 1 minute at 800W microwave power and 500V accelerating voltage. These procedures were repeated 5 times.

[0068] At this stage, an atomic force microscope (AFM) is used to measure the surface of the media. As a result, Ra was 1.478 nm, showing a smooth surface. The track pitch was confirmed to be 190nm, the depth of the pits was about 5nm, and the surface was successfully planarized.

[0069] Therefore, by using a multi-element amorphous alloy ...

example 2

[0074] The DTR medium was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the non-magnetic material filling process and etch-back process were repeated 96 times. That is, during the filling process of the non-magnetic material 55 ( Figure 2F ), deposited Ni with a thickness of 50nm under high pressure (7.0Pa) 60 Nb 25 Ti 15 membrane. During the etch back process ( Figure 2G ), using an ECRU ion gun to apply Ar ions for 1 minute at 800W microwave power and 500V accelerating voltage. These procedures were repeated 96 times.

[0075] At this stage, AFM is used to measure the surface of the medium. As a result, it was confirmed that a very smooth surface was formed. In the glide test, noise was observed, but no signal peaks due to defects were observed. A laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) is used to measure the flying height of the magnetic head. As a result, no head drop was observed. If there is a depression with a depth of 10 nm on the surface, the head drop...

[0077] Using the stamper, press Figures 2A to 2J shown method to fabricate DTR media, wherein the stamper is formed as figure 1 Servo patterns (preamble, address, burst) and land and valley patterns of the recording track are shown. Specifically, during the filling process of the non-magnetic material 55 ( Figure 2F ), a NiNbTiHf film with a thickness of 50 nm was deposited as a multi-element amorphous alloy under high pressure (7.0 Pa). During the etch back process ( Figure 2G ), using an ECRU ion gun, applying Ar ions for 1 min at 800W microwave power and 500V accelerating voltage. These processes are repeated multiple times.

[0078] At this stage, an atomic force microscope (AFM) is used to measure the surface of the medium. As a result, it was found that, as in Example 1, Ra was small.

[0079] The non-magnetic material used to fill the recesses between the magnetic patterns is preferably a multi-element containing Ni or Co and two or more metals selected from Ta...

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording medium includes protruded magnetic patterns formed on a substrate, and a non-magnetic material filled in recesses between the magnetic patterns and made of a multi-element amorphous alloy containing Ni or Cu, and two or more metals selected from the group consisting of Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr, Hf, Cr, Mo and Ag.

Description

technical field [0001] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium, a method of manufacturing the magnetic recording medium, and a magnetic recording device. Background technique [0002] Recently, in magnetic recording media incorporated in hard disk drives (HDDs), it has become more and more problematic to affect the increase in track density due to interference between adjacent tracks. In particular, it is a serious technical problem to reduce the write blur caused by the fringing effect of the magnetic field emitted by the magnetic head. [0003] To solve this problem, for example, a discrete track recording type patterned medium (DTR medium) in which recording tracks are physically separated has been proposed. The DTR medium is known to reduce the edge erasure phenomenon of erasing adjacent track information during writing or the edge read phenomenon of reading adjacent track information during reading, and thus is known to increase tr...
