Description

Growth of FePt films thicker than several tens of a micrometer was attempted on Fe substrates for the use of micromagnets. Several underlayer or intermediate layers were found to be totally ineffective to success. However, 20 μm thick FePt films on the Fe substrates were successfully grown by sputtering after HF surface treatment. (BH)max of the non-annealed film was about 10.7 MG Oe under a maximum applied field of 10 kOe. An excellent adhesion between the Fe substrate and the FePt thick films seems to be due to both improvement of surface cleanliness and roughening which enhanced the chemical and physical bonding strengths
