PATTERNING MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIA WITH ION IMPLANTATION UTILIZING A COMBINATION OF HEAVY AND LIGHT ION SPECIES

A patterned magnetic layer is formed by bombardment of a masked high Mrt magnetic layer with a combination of both heavy ion species and light ion species. The method can be implemented as sequential process steps or in a single process step with the proper heavy/light ion species mixture. Advantage...

Zusammenfassung:A patterned magnetic layer is formed by bombardment of a masked high Mrt magnetic layer with a combination of both heavy ion species and light ion species. The method can be implemented as sequential process steps or in a single process step with the proper heavy/light ion species mixture. Advantageously, the combined heavy/light ion species bombardment method results in a patterned magnetic layer having high topographical uniformity across its surface.
