<p>Embodiments of the present invention provide solutions in the form of reducing the head to keeper spacing in a double-layered perpendicular magnetic recording medium, and improving the recording performance of the magnetic recording medium. A double-layered perpendicular magnetic recording medium and a method of fabricating the same are provided, for data storage devices and systems. The medium includes a base structure and a seedlayer disposed on the base structure. Further layers sequentially formed above the base structure are a soft magnetic underlayer, an intermediate layer and a magnetic recording layer. Because the soft magnetic underlayer is formed between the seedlayer and the intermediate layer, the seedlayer is excluded from the distance between the soft magnetic underlayer and the magnetic recording layer. The soft magnetic underlayer is therefore brought closer to the magnetic recording layer, providing a narrowed head-to-keeper spacing in a data storage system. (Fig. 2)</p> |
