Abstract
High Hc (>4,000 Oe) and high Hk (>1 Tesla) has been achieved in FePt films as thin as 70 Angstroms. This was accomplished by starting with a relatively thick film having the required high coercivity, coating it with a suitable material such as Ta, and then using ion beam etching to remove surface material until the desired thickness was reached.
