Bogy, Chair Professor Eli Yablonovitch Professor Oliver O'Reilly Summer 2018 A Study of the Head Disk Interface in Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording - Energy and Mass Transfer in Nanoscale Copyright 2018 by Haoyu Wu Abstract A Study of the Head Disk Interface in Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording - Energy and Mass Transfer in Nanoscale by Haoyu Wu Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor David B. Bogy, Chair The hard disk drive (HDD) is still the dominant technology in digital data storage due to its cost efficiency and long term reliability compared with other forms of data storage devices. The HDDs are widely used in personal computing, gaming devices, cloud services, data centers, surveillance, etc. Because the superparamagnetic limit of perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) has been reached at the data density of about 1 Tb=in2, heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is being pursued and is expected to help increase the areal density to over 10 Tb=in2 in HDDs in order to fulfill the future worldwide data storage demands. In HAMR, the magnetic media is heated locally (∼50 nm × 50 nm) and momentarily (∼ 10 ns) to its Curie temperature (∼750 K) by a laser beam. The laser beam is generated by a laser diode (LD) and focused by a near field transducer (NFT).

PATEL, Kurt RUBIN, Ricardo RUIZ, Manfred SCHABES, Lei WAN, Dieter WELLER, Tsai-Wei WU, and En YANG HGST, a Western Digital Company, San Jose, California, USA Bit Patterned Media (BPM) for magnetic recording provides a route to thermally stable data recording at >1 Tb/in2 and circumvents many of the challenges associated with extending conventional granular media technology. Instead of recording a bit on an ensemble of random grains, BPM is comprised of a well ordered array of lithographically patterned isolated magnetic islands, each of which stores one bit. Fabrication of BPM is viewed as the greatest challenge for its commercialization. In this article we describe a BPM fabrication method which combines rotary-stage e-beam lithography, directed self-assembly of block copolymers, self-aligned double patterning, nanoimprint lithography, and ion milling to generate BPM based on CoCrPt alloy materials at densities up to 1.6 Td/in2 (teradot/inch2). This combination of novel fabrication technologies achieves feature sizes of <10 nm, which is significantly smaller than what conventional nanofabrication methods used in semiconductor manufacturing can achieve. In contrast to earlier work which used hexagonal close- packed arrays of round islands, our latest approach creates BPM with rectangular bitcells, which are advantageous for integration of BPM with existing hard disk drive technology.

  • Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording Media Based on Exchange Bias
    Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording Media Based on Exchange Bias Kelvin Elphick DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF YORK PHYSICS MAY 2016 Abstract A study of a new paradigm for a heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) media based on the use of exchange bias is presented. Exchange bias occurs when an antiferromagnetic (AF) layer such as IrMn is grown in contact with a ferromagnetic (F) layer and the system if field cooled resulting in a hysteresis loop shifted along the field axis. In this concept the temperature dependent anisotropy is provided by IrMn. Therefore the information is stored in the AF layer and the recording layer is actually part of the read/write structure when field cooled. The F layer when magnetised, serves to align the F layer in the direction required to store the information and then provides a read out signal indicating in which direction the AF layer is oriented. Hence in a complex way the “recording layer” is actually part of the read/write head. The key to achieve a structure of this kind is the control of the orientation of the Mn ions of the IrMn such that they are aligned perpendicular to the plane of the film. In this way a perpendicular exchange bias required for information storage in the AF layer has been achieved. Over 300 samples have been prepared and evaluated to determine the optimised structure. A segregated sample CoCrPt-SiO2 was sputtered using a pressed powder target in a HiTUS deposition system. Dual Ru seed layers of 8nm and 12nm were deposited using 3mTorr and 30mTorr process pressure, respectively.

  • Magnetic Recording Media and Its Requirements Objectives
    NPTEL – Physics – Physics of Magnetic recording Module 05: Advances in Recording Technology and Materials Lecture 31: Magnetic recording media and its requirements Objectives: In the earlier lectures, we have covered the discussion on recording and readback theories, aspects of various types of magnetic recording head. Another important part of the magnetic recording is the media, as it contains all the recorded information. Although there are lot of components in the disk to function properly, it is no wonder that many refer to a magnetic disk drive simply as a magnetic disk. Note that a magnetic media is composed of either closelypacked magnetic particles, continuous magnetic thin films depositedon a substrate, or artificially designed nanostructure for recording the information. Hence, they are called as particulate, thin-film disks, and patterning media, respectively. As the magnetic recording media is one of the core parts of the magnetic disk, it is important to understand various requirements for a material to act as a medium, availability of different types of media and their functionality for recording and storing the digital information. Hence in this module, our primary motivation is to provide detailed information on 1. Magnetic recording media and its requirement, 2. Various types of media (Particulate, thin films and pattern media), 3. Properties of the medium, 4. Perpendicular recording, 5. High density recording, and 6. Future projections on ultrahigh density magnetic recording. Magnetic recording media: Magnetic disks are generally classified as flexible disks or floppy disk and hard disk based on the types of substrates used. The first types commonly use the polyester substrates suitable for removable disk storage.

Abstract Modern Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are fast approaching the superparamagnetic limit forcing the storage industry to look for innovative ways to transition from traditional magnetic recording to Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording or Bit-Patterned Magnetic Recording. Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) is a step in this direction as it delivers high storage capacity with minimal changes to current production infrastructure. However, since it sacrifices random-write capabilities of the device, SMR cannot be used as a drop-in replacement for traditional HDDs. We identify two techniques to implement SMR. The first involves the insertion of a shim layer between the SMR device and the host, similar to the Flash Translation Layer found in Solid-State Drives (SSDs). The second technique, which we feel is the right direction for SMR, is to push enough intelligence up into the file system to effectively mask the sequential-write nature of the underlying SMR device.
