Abstract
Microstructure and magnetic properties of CoPtCr-SiO2 perpendicular recording media were investigated. Magnetron sputtering was used to deposit CoPtCr-SiO2 recording layer on 20 nm-thick Ru seed layer. Fine grains of 6 nm and amorphous-like grain boundaries consisting of SiOx were observed. Coercivity of more than 4 KOe and loop squareness of more than 0.9 were obtained at the thickness of the recording layer of more than 15 nm.
