Abstract
Laminated thin-film media can achieve high signal-to-noise performance by e ffectively reducing the grain volume. If one ran overcome the issues of the rmal decay, sputter complexity, and spacing loss, laminated media can provi de an effective path to higher density media. In this work, we show that by choosing a low noise alloy with an appropriate spacer layer and intermedia te Layer to maintain high coercivity, low noise, thermally stable media can be produced.
