Thin film structure with controlled lateral thermal spreading in the thin film

摘要

An apparatus includes a non-metallic interlayer between a magnetic data storage layer and a heat sink layer, wherein interface thermal resistance between the interlayer and the heat sink layer is capable of reducing heat flow between the heat sink layer and the magnetic data storage layer. The apparatus may be configured as a thin film structure arranged for data storage. The apparatus may also include thermal resistor layer positioned between the interlayer and the heat sink layer.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a magnetic data storage layer; a heat sink layer; and an interlayer between the magnetic data storage layer and the heat sink layer, the interlayer configured to facilitate a first heat flow from the magnetic data storage layer to the heat sink layer and a second heat flow from the heat sink layer to the magnetic data storage layer, wherein a rate of the first heat flow is greater than a rate of the second heat flow.
