  • HEAT ASSISTED MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIA WITH CO-BASED ALLOY
    Publication number: 20180350399
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a storage layer and a write layer. The storage layer is magnetic and has an L10 crystalline structure. The write layer is directly disposed over the storage layer. The write layer is magnetic and has a crystalline structure that is different from the L10 crystalline structure of the storage layer.

  • Heat assisted magnetic recording media with enhanced tuning exchange coupling
    Patent number: 9984713
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a storage layer, a first write layer, and a second write layer. The first write layer is disposed over the storage layer. The second write layer is disposed over the first write layer. The anisotropy field and magnetization associated with the second write layer at writing temperature is greater than anisotropy field and magnetization associated with the first write layer at the writing temperature.

  • Sputtering shield
    Patent number: 9865440
    Abstract: A sputtering apparatus includes a sputtering cathode and a target overlying the sputtering cathode. A shield overlies the target and forms an aperture configured to direct sputtering particles onto a substrate. The shield includes a lower shield portion overlying the target, a channel outlet overlying the lower shield portion, and an upper shield portion overlying the channel. In some embodiments the shield includes a first shield and a second shield. The first shield includes a front gas injection outlet. The second shield overlies the first shield and forms the aperture. In various embodiments, the second shield is operable to adjust plasma confinement between the first shield and the second shield.
