Abstract:
A thin film structure for a magnetic thin film recording medium including a dual seed layer of RuAl/NiAlB is disclosed. The use of the RuAl/NiAlB structure provides reduced grain size, an increased Mrt orientation ratio (OR), increased SNR and lower PW50 at higher amplitude. The RuAl and NiAlB seed layers each have a B2 crystallographic structure. The RuAl/NiAlB dual seed layer can be used to obtain an underlayer with a preferred in-plane orientation of (200) and a cobalt alloy magnetic film with the preferred in-plane orientation of (11−20).
Abstract:
A direct voltage/direct voltage converter comprising a switch-shaping circuit, a voltage-sensing device and a control device is provided. The direct voltage/direct voltage converter has several running modes. Through the control device, one of the running modes is selected to serve as a current operating mode. According to the current operating mode, the control device issues a switching signal for turning the switch-shaping circuit on or off.
Abstract:
Multiple embodiments of the invention are described which include at least two laminated ferromagnetic layers with differing magnetic anisotropy. The independent magnetic layer farther away from the recording head is selected to have a lower magnetic anisotropy to allow magnetic switching of the multiple magnetic layers to occur at approximately the same head write current even though the recording head field is reduced with increased distance from the head. The improved switching yields improved magnetic recording performance. Laminated magnetic media according to the invention can have a single peak in the normalized DC erase noise vs. head write current plot indicating that the magnetic transitions in the non-slave magnetic layers are written at the same head write current. As a result the magnetic pulse width (PW50) is reduced, overwrite (OW) is improved and media signal-to-noise ratio (SoNR) is improved. Alternatively one or both of the laminated ferromagnetic layers can be replaced with an antiferromagnetically (AF) coupled layer structure that has an AFC-master and an AFC-slave layer separated by a spacer layer selected to antiferromagnetically couple the AFC-master and AFC-slave layers.
Abstract:
A magnetic recording medium for data storage uses a magnetic recording layer having at least two ferromagnetic films with different remanent magnetization-thickness (Mrt) values that are coupled antiparallel across a nonferromagnetic spacer film predominantly by the dipole field (Hd) from the grains of the higher-Mrt ferromagnetic film. The material compositions and thicknesses of the ferromagnetic films and the nonferromagnetic spacer film are selected so that Hd predominates over any antiferromagnetic exchange coupling field (Haf) and is greater than the coercive field of the lower-Mrt ferromagnetic film. As a result, the magnetizations of the two ferromagnetic films are antiparallel in the two remanent magnetic states, and thus the net remanent magnetization-thickness product (Mrt) of the recording layer is the difference in the Mrt values of the two ferromagnetic films.
Abstract:
A high density fiber terminator/connector and methods of making the high density fiber terminator/connector are provided. One method comprises using deep reactive ion etching to etch a plurality of holes through a silicon substrate, wherein each hole is sized to fit an optical fiber; placing an optical fiber in at least one hole; removing portions of the fibers such that one end of each fiber is substantially even with one side of the substrate; polishing a surface of the ends of the fibers and the side of the substrate that are substantially even; and forming a coating on the surface of the ends of the fibers and the side of the substrate that are substantially even.
Abstract:
In a thin film magnetic disk, a crystalline CrNi pre-seed layer is sputtered onto a substrate such as glass, followed by a RuAl seed layer. The CrNi pre-seed layer reduces grain size and its distribution, and improves in-plane crystallographic orientation, coercivity (Hc) and SNR. In a preferred embodiment the RuAl seed layer is followed by a Cr alloy underlayer. In a preferred embodiment the Cr alloy underlayer is followed by an onset layer and a magnetic layer, or by two or more magnetic layers antiferromagnetically coupled through one or more spacer layers. The crystalline CrNi pre-seed layer allows use of a thinner RuAl seed layer which results in smaller overall grain size, as well as a reduction in manufacturing cost due to relatively high cost of ruthenium. The CrNi pre-seed layer also allows use of a thinner Cr alloy underlayer which also contributes to reduce overall grain size.
