| 20080199734 | PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM, MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF AND MAGNETIC RECORDING DEVICE - The thickness of the spacer layer is set in such as way as to obtain the anti-parallel magnetic coupling between two amorphous ferromagnetic layers in the perpendicular medium. When the thickness of the spacer layer is changed, the exchange field shows an oscillatory behavior and the highest values of the exchange fields are obtained at various thicknesses and indicates an anti-parallel exchange between them. A conventional recording medium applies the smallest thickness (1st APS) among the thicknesses corresponding to the exchange field maximum. On the other hand, the present invention applies the second smallest thickness (2nd APS) to obtain larger tolerance of spacer layer thickness and improved writability and enhanced recording performance. | 08-21-2008 |
