In recent years, the microstructure of Co-based alloy magnetic thin film disks has been studied extensively by using a conventional x-ray diffraction (XRD) technique(1-4). Efforts to understand the relationship between the microstructure and the magnetic properties of disk had been limited due to the lack of depth resolution in the conventional theta-2theta scanning technique. In this paper, a fixed 0.5 degree of grazing incidence(5) 2-theta scan X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) technique was used to characterize the thin film disk microstructure and therefore to correlate with the magnetic properties.

Co-Cr thin films have been studied extensively as leading candidates for perpendicular recording media. The enhancement of the magnetic properties (saturation magnetization and coercivity) in rfsputtered Co-Cr films has been reported by several investigators. Concurrent work has revealed similar improvements in the magnetic properties of annealed Co-Cr films produced by magnetron sputtering. Honda et al. propose that compositional inhomogeneities in annealed films give rise to these properties changes. In this work, we have employed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to investigate compositional changes in annealed Co-Cr layers of thickness 10-200 nm.Films were deposited from a Co-22wt%Cr alloy target onto glass (Coming Type 7059) substrates using a Varian DC Magnetron ("S" gun) sputtering system. Sputtering conditions included an argon pressure of lmTorr and room temperature substrates. The sputtering rate was 0.25 nm/sec. Annealing was performed at 360°C in a vacuum (10-6 Torr) in incremental times up to 49 hours.
