Benefits of technology

[0014] In addition, the present invention is contrived to provide a CoPtP alloy thin film having good coercivity and squareness in a perpendicular direction by using a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned CoPtP alloy thin film.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the vacuum deposition method is not suitable for use for MEMS elements, micro elements, or nano elements.
If the CoPtP alloy thin film is manufactured by using the electroplating method, each component in the alloy is difficult to control due to an electrochemical potential difference between cobalt ions (Co2+) and platinum ions (Pt2+).
However, there is a problem in that the above-mentioned methods are carried out at a temperature of over 60° C., and complicated complex compounds are used in manufacturing an electroplating solution.
Therefore, it is difficult to obtain a thin film having stable quality and that can be actually adapted.

experimental example 1

[0043] An electroplating solution including CoSO4·7H2O at 0.13 M, H2PtCl6 at 0.005 M, NaH2PO2 at 0.05 M, an ammonium salt at 0.15 M, and Na4P2O7 at 0.45 M was prepared. The pH of the electroplating solution was 8.4 and the temperature thereof was maintained at 40° C. As an anode, a cobalt plate was dipped in the electroplating solution and a current density was maintained at 10 mA / cm2. Therefore, a CoPtP alloy thin film was formed by using an electroplating method.

[0044]FIG. 2 shows a magnetic hysteresis curve of the CoPtP alloy thin film that was manufactured according to Experimental Example 1 of the present invention. It is possible to obtain values of saturated magnetization (Ms), residual magnetization (Mr), coercivity (Hc), squareness (Mr / Ms), etc., from FIG. 2. The X-axis denotes a magnetic field strength and the Y-axis denotes a magnetization amount according to the magnetic field strength in the magnetic hysteresis curve. In particular, the Y-axis is shown to be standardiz...

[0046] An electroplating solution including CoSO4·7H2O at 0.13 M, H2PtCl6 at 0.01 M, NaH2PO2 at 0.02 M, an ammonium salt at 0.25 M, and Na4P2O7 at 0.5 M was prepared. The pH of the electroplating solution was 8.4 and the temperature thereof was maintained at 30° C. As an anode, a cobalt plate was dipped in the electroplating solution and a current density was maintained at 5 mA / cm2. Therefore, a CoPtP alloy thin film was formed by using an electroplating solution.

[0047]FIG. 3 shows a magnetic hysteresis curve of the CoPtP alloy thin film which was manufactured according to Experimental Example 2 of the present invention. The coercivity of the CoPtP alloy thin film was 4410 Oe and the squareness thereof was 0.96. Since the squareness of the CoPtP alloy thin film is very high, it shows the best property among CoPtP alloy thin films which have been manufactured by using an electroplating method thus far.

experimental example 3

[0048] An electroplating solution including CoSO4·7H2O at 0.10 M, H2PtCl6 at 0.015 M, NaH2PO2 at 0.02 M, an ammonium salt at 0.27 M, and Na4P2O7 at 0.5 M was prepared. The pH of the electroplating solution was 8.4 and the temperature thereof was maintained at 40° C. As an anode, a cobalt plate was dipped in the electroplating solution and a current density was maintained at 5 mA / cm2. Therefore, a CoPtP alloy thin film was formed by using an electroplating method.

[0049]FIG. 4 shows a magnetic hysteresis curve of the CoPtP alloy thin film which was manufactured according to Experimental Example 3 of the present invention. The coercivity of the CoPtP alloy thin film was 5550 Oe and the squareness thereof was 0.76. Considering the above squareness, the CoPtP alloy thin film shows the best property among CoPtP alloy thin films that have been manufactured by using an electroplating method thus far.
