ABSTRACT:
A high areal density magnetic recording medium exhibiting high remanent coercivity and high coercivity squareness is formed with a thin CoCrTa intermediate layer to provide appropriate crystalline orientation and surface morphology for nucleation and growth of a magnetic layer thereon. The present invention also enables the use of lower substrate heating temperatures during deposition. Embodiments include depositing an intermediate Co alloy layer comprising about 10 up to about 15 atomic % Cr and about 1 to about 6 atomic % Ta at a thickness of about 1.5 to about 150 .ANG..
