Abstract

Exchange coupled composite media has a lower switching field compared to conventional perpendicular media at the same level of thermal stability, making it promising for high areal density recording. In this paper, we propose head and media specifications, calculated micromagnetically at a density of 1 Tb/in², using a composite media with a synthetic antiferromagnet hard layer. We assume realistic constraints such as jitter to bit length ratio, skew, seed layer, and grain boundaries. T₅₀ of the read back pulse is estimated using a current perpendicular to plane (CPP) giant magnetoresistive (GMR) reader and the magnetization noise is calculated. The signal to dc noise ratio is also estimated for the media used.
