Patterned magnetic media is a promising technology to overcome the super-paramagnetic limit that is expected to limit the data storage density on hard disks. However, high volume fabrication of periodic magnetic elements with the required properties such as resolution (pitch well below 50 nm) and dot-size and dot-spacing uniformity has remained a formidable challenge. EULITHA is developing the EUV technology to enable the production of patterned magnetic media. The technology has already shown patterning capability for data storage density over 1 Tbit/in2 ( H. Solak et al, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B 25, 2123, 2007 ).
In order to facilitate further development of the patterned magnetic media technology EULITHA offers research samples with 516 Gbit/in2 and 358 Gbit/in2 density. These samples for bit patterned media (BPM) represent unprecedented quality in nanostructuring in terms of a combination of resolution, and pattern uniformity. Patterns are available on Si or customer provided substrates. They are ideal for testing pattern transfer processes and read/write procedures and research on magnetic properties.
