AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The medium exhibits improved saturation magnetization and perpendicular coercivity, enabling effective magnetic flux generation for readout by GMR or TMR heads at room temperature, suitable for ultra-high density recording applications.

Problems solved by technology

Apparently, the traditional magneto-optical (MO) recording medium is not suitable for being applied for HAMR because such medium fails to generate sufficient magnetic flux for GMR or TMR head readout owing to the relatively lower saturation magnetization (Ms) value thereof.

Abstract

A novel heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) medium and the fabrication method therefor are provided. The exchange coupling effect occurring at the interface of FePt / CoTb double layers is adopted, and thus the resulting magnetic flux would be sufficient enough to be detected and readout under the room temperature. The provided HAMR medium exhibits a relatively high saturation magnetization and perpendicular coercivity, and thus possesses a great potential for the ultra-high density recording application.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a division of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 462,400, filed Aug. 4, 2006, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a recording medium and the fabrication method therefor, and more particularly to a heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) medium and the fabrication method therefor.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Currently, the heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) method with writing and magnetic flux reading is well proposed for increasing the perpendicular recording density of the magnetic disk, where the amorphous rare earth-transition metal (RE-TM) thin films are usually applied as the recording medium therefor.[0004]The RE-TM thin film is advantageous in having the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy above 106 erg / cm3 and exhibiting the perpendicular magnetization, and thus it is always considered as a candidate for HAMR. Generally, t...
