- a magnetic recording medium in which recording films are sequentially stacked is disclosed.
- a magnetic layer having higher magnetic anisotropy than the above-mentioned Co—Cr system polycrystalline film and having excellent resistance to thermal disturbance has been studied.
- the magnetic layer for example, an artificial lattice multilayer film (Alternatively laminated multilayer film) in which Co and Pd or Co and Pt are alternately laminated, or an alloy such as Fe and Pt or Co and Pt An ordered lattice alloy film obtained by heat-treating a film at a high temperature is known. Since these artificial lattice multilayer films and ordered lattice alloy films have high magnetic anisotropy, high resistance to thermal disturbance is expected.
- these films differ from Co-Cr-based polycrystalline films in that strong magnetic interaction in the in-plane direction (parallel to the substrate surface) makes it impossible to form small magnetic domains, and thus the transition property There is a disadvantage that medium noise is large.

- the purpose of the present invention is to reduce the in-plane magnetic exchange coupling force of the recording layer, reduce the transition noise, and increase the S / N.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic storage device capable of reproducing with high S / N.

- a first shield layer comprising Fe oxide
- a second shield layer including one of Pd and Pt and S and N;
- the magnetic recording medium according to the first aspect of the present invention is characterized in that: A second seed layer including one of Si, Si and N; and a first seed layer including Fe oxide as a base of the second shield layer.
- a second seed layer including one of Si, Si and N when the recording layer is composed of a platinum-group element and a Co artificial lattice film, the first and second shield layers have the crystal orientation of the artificial lattice film and the magnetic properties of the crystal grains.
- the optimal exchange coupling force can be controlled optimally.
- the second seed layer is formed only of, for example, a Pd crystal, the size of the recording magnetic domain formed in the recording layer becomes large, and a fine recording magnetic domain may be formed. could not.
- the second seed layer is formed only of Pd crystals
- a recording layer having an artificial lattice structure with unclear grain boundaries is formed on the second seed layer, and the recording layer acts between crystal grains of the recording layer. This is probably because the magnetic exchange coupling force in the direction has increased.
- the present inventors have found that when the second shield layer is composed of one of Pd and Pt, and Si and N, it is possible to form fine magnetic domains in the recording layer and reduce noise. I found it. This is considered for the following reasons. If the second seed layer is composed of one of Pd and Pt and S i and N, P d or P t becomes S i N (or S i N network structure).
- the dispersion of Pd or Pt in the SiN of the second seed layer is further promoted by the principle described later by using the first seed layer containing Fe oxide as a base. ing. Since the recording layer having an artificial lattice structure formed on the second seed layer grows with dispersed Pd or Pt as a nucleus, the artificial lattice film with clear grain boundaries is formed on the second seed layer. Thought to be formed Can be Therefore, the in-plane magnetic exchange coupling force acting between the crystal grains of the recording layer having the artificial lattice structure is reduced, and the transition noise is reduced.
- a small amount of N in the second seed layer can further promote the dispersion of Pd or Pt by bonding with Si, and thus further increase the magnetic exchange coupling force in the in-plane direction of the recording layer. Can be weakened. Thereby, the transition noise can be further reduced.
- the reason why the use of the first seed layer containing the Fe oxide as the base of the second seed layer further promotes the dispersion of Pd or Pt in SiN of the second seed layer is explained. explain.
- the second seed layer containing one of Pd and Pt, Si and N is formed on the first seed layer containing the Fe oxide nitride, and the second seed layer is recorded on the second seed layer.
- the layer By forming the layer, an aggregate of extremely fine crystal grains is formed in the recording layer according to the above-described principle.
- minute recording magnetic domains can be formed and the magnetization transition region becomes extremely clear, so that noise can be reduced as compared with the conventional case.
- the content of Si and N in the second seed layer is such that S i is in the range of 10 at% to 35 at%, more preferably 20 at% to 30 & 1:%.
- N is preferably in the range of 0.1 at% to 5 at%, more preferably in the range of 0.5 at% to 5 at%.

- the first seed layer containing Fe metal in addition to the Fe oxide sulfide has a state in which extremely small Fe metal particles are dispersed in the Fe oxide.
- the Fe oxide has low wettability with respect to, for example, Pd or Pt constituting the second shield layer.
- Fe metal has high wettability to Pd or Pt. Therefore, when Pd or Pt is deposited on the first shield layer in which the Fe metal particles are dispersed in the Fe oxide, Pd or Pt is selectively adsorbed to the metal. At this time, since the Fe metal in the first seed layer is extremely small, Pd or Pt adsorbed on the Fe metal is formed on the above-mentioned shield layer made of Fe oxide. It is much smaller than that.
- Pd or Pt deposited on the first seed layer cannot be removed because the Fe metal oxide around the Fe metal has low wettability with respect to Pd or Pt. It is thought that the dimension is limited to spread in the in-plane direction, and the particles are individually dispersed at predetermined intervals while maintaining a small state. Therefore, it is considered that Pd or Pt in the SiN (or SiN network structure) of the second seed layer is dispersed in an extremely small state.
- the magnetic particles of the recording layer grow in units of finely dispersed Pd or Pt, so that a recording layer formed of fine magnetic particles is obtained. As a result, the magnetic domains formed in the recording layer also It is possible to further reduce the size and noise.

- the first seed layer containing the Fe oxide preferably contains 80 vol% or more of the Fe oxide as a whole.
- both the first and second seed layers When the thickness of both the first and second seed layers is more than 30 nm, the distance between the magnetic pole of the recording magnetic head and the soft magnetic layer increases, and the recording magnetic field from the recording magnetic head increases. May not be sufficiently applied to the recording layer. In addition, the magnetic field from the recording magnetic head is applied to the recording layer in a spread state, resulting in a decrease in resolution. May cause noise.
- a magnetic recording medium According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a magnetic recording medium,
- a seed layer including one of 01 and 1: and S i and N is provided. Since such a seed layer has the same function as the second seed layer of the first embodiment of the present invention, it reduces the crystal orientation of the artificial lattice structure formed thereon and the magnetic exchange coupling force between crystal grains. It can be controlled optimally. That is, by forming the seed layer from one of Pd and Pt, and Si and N, Pd or Pt becomes microcrystals or partial crystals in SiN (or SiN network structure). It is considered that a non-crystalline structure exists in a dispersed manner.
- the recording layer having an artificial lattice structure grown on the seed layer is considered to be formed with dispersed Pd or Pt as a nucleus, so that an artificial lattice film with clear grain boundaries is formed. Therefore, the in-plane magnetic exchange coupling force acting between the crystal grains of the recording layer having the artificial lattice structure is reduced.
- a small amount of N in the seed layer can further promote the 01 or 1: dispersion by bonding with Si, so that the magnetic exchange coupling force in the in-plane direction of the recording layer should be further reduced. Can be. This makes it possible to further reduce the transition noise.

- the recording layer having such an artificial lattice structure is preferably mainly composed of a platinum group element and Co, and is an alternating layer in which a platinum group element and Co are alternately stacked with a thickness of about several atoms or about a single atom. It is preferably a multilayered film.

- the term “artificial lattice structure” means a structure obtained by periodically stacking a plurality of different substances with one another or several atoms in thickness in one direction.
- a film having such an artificial lattice structure is also called an artificial lattice film or an alternately laminated multilayer film.
- the recording layer having an artificial lattice structure includes a Co layer having a thickness selected from the range of 0.05 to 0.5 nm, and a thickness selected from the range of 0.5 to 2 nm.
- the above-described Co is used in which Pt layers having a film thickness selected from the range of nm are alternately laminated.
- the Pd layer or the Pt layer may contain an additional element.
- the composition fluctuation occurs due to the inclusion of the additional element in the layer, and the magnetic exchange coupling force in the in-plane direction of the recording layer can be reduced.
- the added element is desirably Si, A1, Zr, or i or B, and B is particularly desirable. Addition to the Pd layer or Pt layer causes less deterioration in magnetic properties than addition to the Co layer.
- Co in the Co / Pd artificial lattice film or the Co / Pt artificial lattice film is discontinuously distributed in the in-plane direction.
- the phrase "Co in the artificial lattice J3 dian is discontinuously distributed in the in-plane direction" means that the cross-section of the Co layer is substantially layered when the cross-sectional structure of the artificial lattice film is observed. Observed in a plan view, it means that the region composed of Co has a structure that is dispersed in a land shape on the plane. That is, the Co layer in the artificial lattice film is not formed as a continuous film, and a plurality of Co regions are dispersed in a land shape.

- the output when reproducing information recorded at a high recording density may be small. Also, the magnetic anisotropy energy becomes small, and there is a possibility that thermal demagnetization may occur. Further, since the value of Mr ⁇ t is 1.0 [memu / cm 2) than the size ⁇ becomes the resolution is lowered, 0.3 [memu / cm 2] is smaller than the output is too small, 1 50 Gbit / There is a possibility that it is difficult to obtain sufficient recording / reproducing characteristics when a high recording density of 2 square inches or more is performed.

- the Fe oxide has low wettability with, for example, a platinum group element such as Pd or Pt which is an element constituting the recording layer.
- Fe metal has high wettability with Pd and Pt. Therefore, F e gold When Pd or Pt is deposited on a seed layer in which metal particles are dispersed in Fe oxide, Pd or Pt is selectively adsorbed on Fe metal.
- the Fe metal in the seed layer is extremely small, the Pd or Pt adsorbed on the Fe metal is much smaller than that formed on the seed layer made of the Fe oxide described above.
- Pd or Pt deposited on the seed layer is two-dimensionally Spreading in the in-plane direction is restricted, and it is considered that the particles are individually dispersed at predetermined intervals while maintaining a minute state. Since Pd or Pt that is extremely finely dispersed becomes a nucleus on which the magnetic particles of the recording layer grow, Co and Pd or Pt are alternately deposited thereon. From these fine nuclei, the magnetic particles of the recording layer grow.
- the Fe metal in the seed layer becomes It serves as a nucleus for growing extremely fine magnetic particles on the recording layer.

Since the magnetic crystal grains of such a recording layer are magnetically separated by crystal grain boundaries, the magnetic exchange coupling force in the in-plane direction is reduced. This makes it possible to form minute magnetic domains in the recording layer and to increase the linearity of the magnetization transition region.
- the crystal grain boundary of the recording layer becomes clear by flattening the surface of the soft magnetic layer according to the following principle.
