| 20120128895 | CARBON FILM FORMING METHOD, MAGNETIC-RECORDING-MEDIUM MANUFACTURING METHOD, AND CARBON FILM FORMING APPARATUS - A carbon film forming method including a step in which, inside a film formation chamber provided with a filamentous cathode electrode, an anode electrode disposed around the perimeter of the cathode electrode, and a substrate holder disposed at a position that is separated from the cathode electrode, a disk-like substrate that has a central aperture is disposed in the substrate holder so that one surface of the substrate is opposite the cathode electrode, and a columnar member that has a diameter equal to or greater than a diameter of the central aperture and that has a height equal to or greater than the diameter is disposed with clearance from the cathode electrode and the substrate so that its central axis is coaxial with a central axis of the substrate, one of its circular surfaces is oriented toward the cathode electrode, and its other circular surface is parallel to the one surface of the substrate; and a step in which carbon film is formed on the one surface of the substrate by causing emission of carbon ions from the cathode electrode side toward the substrate side after the interior of the film formation chamber has been evacuated. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20110235211 | MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM, MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, AND MAGNETIC RECORDING/REPRODUCING DEVICE - A magnetic recording medium that is capable of realizing both high magnetic permeability and antiferromagnetic coupling for a soft magnetic underlayer. Namely, a magnetic recording medium including at least a non-magnetic substrate on which is laminated a soft magnetic underlayer formed by antiferromagnetic coupling of a plurality of soft magnetic layers, and a perpendicular magnetic layer for which the axis of easy magnetization is oriented mainly perpendicularly to the non-magnetic substrate, wherein the soft magnetic layers contain Fe as a first main component, Co as a second main component, and also contain Ta, the soft magnetic underlayer is antiferromagnetically coupled using the second peak or a subsequently appearing peak of the antiferromagnetic coupling force, which changes according to the thickness of a spacer layer sandwiched between the plurality of soft magnetic layers, and the magnetic permeability of the soft magnetic underlayer is not less than 1,000 H/m. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20100159286 | PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM - Disclosed is a perpendicular magnetic recording medium on a substrate. The perpendicular magnetic recording medium has a recording layer. The recording layer includes a first granular recording layer and a second granular recording layer. There may be an exchange layer between the first granular recording layer and the second granular recording layer. Additionally or alternatively, the ratio of saturation magnetization of the first granular recording layer and the second granular recording layer may be greater than 1 and/or the first granular recording layer may have a relatively high magnetic anisotropy compared to the second granular recording layer magnetic anisotropy. A forming method is also disclosed. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100032780 | MRAM WITH EDDY CURRENT BARRIER - Disclosed is a magnetoresistive random access memory (“MRAM”) device comprising a plurality of layers on a substrate. The plurality of layers comprises pinning layers, flipping layers, and at least one insulating layer between the pinning layers and the flipping layers. An eddy current side wall encapsulates at least the pinning layers of the plurality of layers. The eddy current side wall comprises a grain insulating layer for electrical insulation, and a magnetic barrier layer for magnetic isolation. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100028563 | Method of forming carbon film, method of manufacturing magnetic recording medium, and apparatus for forming carbon film - The present invention provides a carbon film forming method capable of forming a dense carbon film with high hardness.
