  • Recording medium for heat assisted magnetic recording and method of forming the same
    Patent number: 10255939
    Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure provide a recording medium for heat-assisted-magnetic-recording (HAMR). The recording medium may include a substrate. The recording medium may further include a recording layer. The recording medium may also include a thermal control layer between the recording layer and the substrate. The thermal control layer may have a thermal conductivity that increases with increasing temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • Recording medium for heat-assisted-magnetic-recording (HAMR) and method for manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 9236078
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a recording medium for heat-assisted-magnetic-recording (HAMR) is provided. The method includes forming an underlayer on a substrate, the underlayer including a precursor material, epitaxially depositing an interlayer on the underlayer, forming a recording layer over the interlayer, and converting the precursor material to a converted material having a thermal conductivity that is higher than a thermal conductivity of the recording layer. According to further embodiments of the present invention, another method for manufacturing a recording medium for heat-assisted-magnetic-recording (HAMR) and a recording medium for heat-assisted-magnetic-recording (HAMR) are also provided.
