Application of crystalline soft magnetic underlayer(SUL) for reduction of the Ru intermediate layer(IML) between recording layer and SUL in perpendicular magnetic recording media has been performed. The use of FeCoB layer as crystalline SUL improves degree of FeCo(110) orientation, and that gives degree of (001) orientation of Ru IML and CoPtCr in CoPtCr-SiO2 recording layer. Then, FeCoB crystalline SULs with seed layer of Ru or Si/NiFe are fabricated and compared to control degree of (110) orientation of FeCo in FeCoB layer. Ru/FeCoB SUL has high anisotropy field. Si/NiFe seed layer improves (110) preferential orientation of FeCo. Si/NiFe seed layer more improved (110) orientation of FeCo than that of Ru. It was confirmed that the use of Ru/FeCoB layer or Si/NiFe/FeCoB layer causes improvement of (001) orientation of Ru IML, which causes improvement of (001) orientation of CoPtCr. The intensity of (002) diffraction peak of CoPtCr is almost constant even though the thickness of Ru IML changes from 30 nm to 1 nm. Coercivity and squareness ratio of recording layer maintained the same value in spite of reducing the thickness of the Ru IML from 30 nm to 5 nm. |
