摘要: Reduction of the protective carbon overcoat (COC) thickness down to ≤2 nm on hard disk media is essential based current perpendicular magnetic recording technology, in order achieve areal densities >1 Tb/in2. Because its potential comparably higher sp3 bonding and a denser network, hence better film coverage at lower thicknesses, filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) technique promising option for COC fabrication future media. In addition, ability tune energy incoming C+ ions advantageous optimizing functional properties COC. this chapter, effects ion energy, extent atomic mixing microstructural ultrathin COCs are discussed, how FCVA process can be optimized most desirable
