Abstract

With the aim of developing a novel perpendicular bit-patterned-media, combined process of thermal imprinting of glassy alloy thin film and embedding Co/Pd multilayer was developed. Nano hole array with a hole diameter of 30 nm was successfully formed onto Pd-based glassy alloy thin film by thermal imprinting. Co/Pd multilayer was overlaid on a textured Pd-based glassy alloy thin film. After finishing by sputter etching, prototype bit-patterned-media was prepared. Switching behavior examined under magnetic field of ±10 kOe reveals that the isolated magnetic dots began to switch at 10 kOe. These results suggest that the prototype composite has a strong possibility for the realization of next generation bit-patterned-media with high data density.
