Proposed (Japanese Patent Application 2004—194175).
- a magnetic recording layer composed of a ferromagnetic layer having such a dagger-like structure and an exchange energy control layer formed on the ferromagnetic layer, for example, a specific alternating laminated film is provided.
- the exchange energy control layer is usually thinner than the ferromagnetic layer, so the interface state that determines the magnetic properties is very important.
- the exchange energy control layer is usually formed by sputtering.
- the energy of neutral gas atoms that collide and reflect on the target and reach the substrate increases, the surface roughness of the film increases. As a result, the interface state of the film deteriorated, and the magnetic properties sometimes deteriorated.
- Ar gas is used as the process gas for sputtering film formation.
- the energy of neutral gas atoms that hit the target and hit the substrate is reflected. It has also been found that the interface state of the deposited film tends to deteriorate due to its relatively large size.
- the present inventors have conducted extensive research from the viewpoint that it is necessary to improve the conventional manufacturing process in order to further improve the magnetic characteristics. From Ar gas The present inventors have found that the use of a rare gas, for example, Kr gas, as the sputtering film forming gas for the exchange energy control layer can suitably suppress the deterioration of the interface state of the formed film, and have completed the present invention. It is.

- the ferromagnetic layer has crystal grains mainly composed of cobalt (Co) and a grain boundary portion mainly composed of oxide, silicon (Si), or silicon (Si) oxide.
- a magnetic disk used for perpendicular magnetic recording comprising a substrate and an oxide or silicon (Si) or silicon (Si) having a dull-yura structure formed on the substrate. ), A first layer containing cobalt (Co) or a Co alloy, and a second layer containing palladium (Pd) or platinum (Pt) formed on the ferromagnetic layer.
- An exchange energy control layer made of a single layer containing a Co alloy, and the exchange energy control layer contains a krypton (Kr) element. is there.
- the method for manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording disk of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a magnetic disk that includes at least a magnetic recording layer on a substrate and is used for perpendicular magnetic recording.
- at least the exchange energy control layer is made of argon. The mass is heavier than the gas, and in a rare gas atmosphere, It is characterized by the deposition of talling.
- a rare gas such as Kr gas which has a heavier mass than conventional Ar gas, is sputtered on the exchange energy control layer formed on the ferromagnetic layer having a dull-yura structure that constitutes the magnetic recording layer.
- the reason why the deterioration of the interface state of the formed film can be suitably suppressed by using it as the film gas is considered as follows according to the study by the present inventors.
- Kr gas as the sputtering deposition gas for the exchange energy control layer, the energy of gas atoms that collide and reflect on the target and reach the substrate is smaller than that of Ar gas.
- the effect of atomic mixing at the interface of the exchange energy control layer is mitigated, and the sharper interface (e.g., the first layer containing Co or Co alloy and the second layer containing Pd or Pt are separated by TEM). Etc.), it is possible to observe clearly. As a result, the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the magnetic recording layer is increased, and the coercive force characteristics can be improved.
- xenon (Xe) gas can be used as the rare gas because it is heavier than Ar gas.
- xenon gas is used, magnetic characteristics and recording / reproducing characteristics (electromagnetic conversion characteristics) are improved.
- Examples of the magnetic material constituting the ferromagnetic layer include a Co-based magnetic material, and a CoPt-based or CoPtCr-based magnetic material is particularly preferable! /.
- CoPt-based or CoPtCr-based magnetic materials can improve the resistance to thermal fluctuation because the magnetic reversal generated magnetic field Hn with a high coercive force He can be set to a small value less than zero, and a high S / N ratio. Is preferable.
