Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain high vertical coercive force or high saturated magnetic flux density, and to maintain a high vertical anisotropic magnetic field by a method wherein a specific range of composition is provided. CONSTITUTION:This magnetic thin film is composed of a CoBtB alloy or CoB alloy, the composition is indicated by the compositional formula of (Coa, Ptb, Mc)100-xOx (provided that a, b, c and x are indicated by atomic %), the range of composition is set at a=100-b-c, 0<=b<=50, 0.1<=c<=30 and 0<=x<=15, and M contains one or more kinds of Ti, Zr, V, Cr, Nb, Mo and Ta. As a result, high coercive force or high saturated magnetic flux density, and a high anisotropic magnetic field can be obtained even on a relatively thick film without raising the temperature of a substrate when a film is formed, and suitable characteristics can be displayed when the film is used as a vertically magnetized film.

Alloy magnetic thin films such as oNi, CoP, and CoPt are known. Each of these magnetic thin films made of CoNi and CoP has hard magnetic properties utilizing a columnar structure, and has a saturation magnetic flux density Bs of about 10 kG and a coercive force Hc of about 1 (kOe) or less. Also, CoPL magnetic! For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-200513 discloses that the film exhibits a high coercive force Hc of 1.5 (kOe) or more when the film thickness is 300 Å or less.

+ Alloy magnetic layers such as CoMo, CoV, and CoRu are known. In this case, among these alloys, looking at the typical magnetic properties of the CoCr system, which has excellent liquid magnetic properties, Bs is 4 (kG) to 6 (kG).
The perpendicular coercive force Hc reaches a value of about 1.5 (kOe) when the substrate temperature is heated to 150°C during deposition of this alloy film by sputtering. When the substrate temperature is around room temperature, approximately 300
(Oe), and the vertical squareness ratio (Mr/

In this case, the problem is that the Bs is relatively low, and a high value for the Bc cannot be obtained unless the substrate temperature is raised during film formation, so the substrate has low heat resistance. There is a problem that an inexpensive polyethylene terephthalate (PI!T) substrate cannot be used.
