11 Challenges for FePt films as recording media for 1 Tbits/in 2 and beyond Controlling the texture of FePt (001) for perpendicular recording since FePt (111) is preferably formed as it is the closest packed plane Narrow easy axis distribution (< 5 ) Reducing the phase transformation temperature of FePt from fcc to L1 0 FePt Control of microstructure to grain size of < 5 nm grain size with 15% standard deviation. To develop a suitable soft underlayer for FePt media 10
12 Research teams on the control of FePt texture and phase transformation temperature Prof. D.J. Sellmyer, University of Nebraska, USA, high temperature postdeposition annealing of Fe/Pt multilayers (above 550 C to break the multilayers by diffusion to form L1 0 FePt (001) films) Dr. T. Maeda, Toshiba Corporation, doped with Cu followed by postdeposition anneal to reduce the temperature (300 C), but the texture is FePt (111) oriented Dr. Toshio Suzuki, Akita Research Institute of Advanced Technology, MgO underlayer on glass, FePt(001) texture at 375 C. Prof. D.E. Laughlin, Carnegie Mellon University, USA, Ag underlayer on Si, FePt (001) texture is not good and temperature is 375 C Prof.Takao Suzuki, Toyota Technology University, FePt/MgO multilayer by high temperature annealing (600 C) Others mainly focus on magnetic properties of FePt (001) on MgO (001) single crystal substrate or post-deposition anneal FePt on glass substrate without too concerned with the texture (fundamental research) 11
13 Experimental Details All samples deposited using custom built dc/rf magnetron sputtering system and deposition conditions as follows: Base pressure: 5x10-8 Torr Characterisation tools: X-ray diffractometer, vibrating sample magnetometer, FEG-HRTEM 300kV FePt mag. layer Buffer layer CrX underlayer Corning glass substrate Typical film structure Custom designed dc/rf sputter system 12

15 Lattice Mismatch Effect A critical lattice mismatch near to 6.33% was believed to be most suitable to improve the chemical ordering of FePt films (I 001 /I 002 ) 1/2 was used to represent the chemical ordering parameter in this study. I 001 and I 002 are the integrated peak intensities of the FePt (001) and (002) peaks respectively 14

17 Initial Layer Growth in FePt Perpendicular Media In perpendicular recording media, it has long been discovered that an initial growth layer or also known as nucleation layer or dead layer of low M s and low K u Formed in the magnetic layer during the early film growth stage regardless of whether on top of an underlayer or on substrates. The formation of the initial growth layer was attributed to the poor easy axis orientation in the initial stage of the film growth The initial growth layer resulted in the decrease of measured H c and S of the magnetic film Solution: Introduce buffer layer The purpose of the buffer layer (immiscible with underlayer and recording layer) is to block diffusion from the underlayer and promotes heteroepitaxial growth of the L1 0 phase 2 nm Pt buffer was introduced between CrRu underlayer and FePt magnetic layer 16

25 New intermediate layer? 1. The interface between FePt and Pt is shaper than that between FePt and CrRu. 2. The initial growth layer thickness estimated by K u model is larger than that estimated by M s, suggesting that there were structural defects existing at the interface which resulted in small anisotropy. But M s does not change due to the structure defect 3. In order to further reduce the initial growth layer thickness, new intermediate layer with suitable crystallographic structure, more difficult to diffuse, is required Solution: MgO was proposed as the buffer layer since sputter deposited MgO formed the (200) texture due to the lowest surface energy plane, and the MgO (200) texture can heteroepitaxially induce the fct-fept (001) texture. 24
26 Advantages of using MgO as buffer layer: Immiscible with FePt recording layer and CrRu underlayer Lattice relationship: MgO (100)<001> FePt (001)<100>, mismatch of 8.66%. Lattice strain maintained Motivation: Advantages of MgO Buffer Layer To study interfacial effects of MgO layer on texture and magnetic properties of FePt as FePt fabrication is carried out at elevated temperature. Interface roughness is expected to change with temperature. a a = nm a Mg 2+ O 2- a 25
