Comparison of Playback Performance of Facing Targets Sputtered Perpendicular and Longitudinal Tape Media

Metal Evaporated Media

“…2 recording areal densities (Cherubini et al, 2011). Leveraging the work done for hard disk drives, sputtered media technology has been explored as well for tape applications Lee et al, 2005;Matsunuma et al, 2008Matsunuma et al, , 2009Numazawa and Ohshima, 1997). An areal density of 45 Gb/in.…”

Hardware implementations and performance assessments of a DC magnetron sputter for enhanced depositions

“…With their mass installed volumes in the related industry production lines, reliable and affordable refinements that can be directly implemented onto the existing DC MSs to better the performance of the entire sputtering process with thorough and confident experimental confirmations are certainly expected. Based on the desired operations, those performance improvements can generally be accounted for faster sputtering rate, longer target life, and smoother substrate deposition [3].…”
