Abstract

The mechanism of film growth of CoCr intermediate layer and CoCrPtB magnetic layer was studied by analyzing the thickness dependence of in plane x-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The in-plane XRD profiles of intermediate layers were observed at various substrate temperature. Cr-rich hcp phase was formed in the films fabricated at 250 °C. The hcp phase was decomposed into Cr-less hcp phase with further increase in temperature.
