Abstract
Abstract A perpendicular magnetic recording and reproducing system records and reproduces a signal on and from a perpendicular magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic layer which is made from one magnetic material and is constituted by a layer having a low coercivity and a layer having a high coercivity on top of the layer having the low coercivity, by use of a ring core head and utilizes the layer having the low coercivity as a high permeability layer and the layer having the high coercivity as a perpendicular magnetization layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A perpendicular magnetic recording and reproducing system for recording and reproducing a signal on and from a perpendicular magnetic recording medium by use of a ring core head, said perpendicular magnetic recording medium comprising a medium base, a magnetic layer formed on said medium base, said magnetic layer being made of a single magnetic material and formed by a single continuous sputtering process, said single magnetic material being constituted by cobalt, chromium and at least one of tantalum and niobium, said magnetic layer comprising an upper layer portion having a coercivity larger than approximately 900 Oe in a direction perpendicular to a surface of said magnetic layer, and a lower layer portion having coercivities less than approximately 180 Oe in both of an in-plane direction of said magnetic layer and said direction perpendicular to said surface of said magnetic layer, wherein said upper and lower layer portions of said single magnetic layer are formed as a consequence of said single continuous sputtering of said single magnetic material upon said medium base.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
171 words
A perpendicular magnetic recording and reproducing system for recording and reproducing a signal on and from a perpendicular magnetic recording medium by use of a ring core head, said perpendicular magnetic recording medium comprising a medium base, a magnetic layer formed on said medium base, said magnetic layer being made of a single magnetic material and formed by a single continuous sputtering process, said single magnetic material being constituted by cobalt, chromium and at least one of tantalum and niobium, said magnetic layer comprising an upper layer portion having a coercivity larger than approximately 900 Oe in a direction perpendicular to a surface of said magnetic layer, and a lower layer portion having coercivities less than approximately 180 Oe in both of an in-plane direction of said magnetic layer and said direction perpendicular to said surface of said magnetic layer, wherein said upper and lower layer portions of said single magnetic layer are formed as a consequence of said single continuous sputtering of said single magnetic material upon said medium base.
