摘要：
Magnetic recording technology has shown a rapid growth over the past decades with the area density growth rate more than 40% due to introduction of giant magneto-resistive (GMR), tunneling magneto-resistive (TMR) head and perpendicular recording technology. In this talk, we give a brief review of recent progresses on perpendicular recording media technology and look at possible extension for ultra high areal density magnetic recording. Unlike traditional way to jump into materials property and medium growth condition, we review this progress based on learning from recording physics and media design concept, and show how the media technology progresses, i.e. technology development, against research focus.
In addition, to scale to even higher areal density, while maintaining a proper balance between media signal-to-noise, thermal stability and writability. It is believed that the energy-assisted magnetic recording will be soon required. Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) can achieve this balance by allowing high anisotropy (Hk) media to be written by heating the media during the writing process to temporarily lower the Hk. There are multiple major challenges in designing the HAMR system. A few of them are: 1) HAMR recording physics, 2) Laser light delivery to the head, 3) Optical and magnetic field focusing and collocation, and 4) Thermal management. Here, we are going to briefly review these key issues and the key contributing factors that enable existing technology: perpendicular recording. Then suggest future research direction for energy assisted magnetic recording. We will also show a few examples on the progress of HAMR and learning from recording physics, modeling and materials science that will enable heat assisted magnetic recording.
