AbstractWe report the selected-area epitaxy of rare-earth iron garnet crystalline and amorphous straight ridge patterns, from 4μm to 8μm in width, deposited on Gd3Ga5O12 single crystal substrates. These samples were fabricated via a sputter epitaxial method on substrates that were partially etched by ion-beam bombardment. The strip pattern direction has given the considerable influence on the crystal-graphic formation of the sidewall of the grown ridge. The ridge shapes were similar to results that have been reported for the dissolution forms of garnet crystals in phosphoric acid and the facet of garnet crystals grown from flux. Furthermore, we have successfully grown both an epitaxial garnet film onto an amorphous film and an amorphous straight ridge with a triangular shape surrounded by crystal.

For future high density magneto-optical recording materials, a Bi-substituted garnet film ((BiDy)3(FeGa)5O12) is an attractive candidate since it has strong magneto-optic effect at short wavelengths less than 600 nm. The signal in read back performance at 500 nm using a garnet film can be an order of magnitude higher than a current rare earth-transition metal amorphous film. However, the granularity and surface roughness of such crystalline garnet films are the key to control for minimizing media noise.We have demonstrated a new technique to fabricate a garnet film which has much smaller grain size and smoother surfaces than those annealed in a conventional oven. This method employs a high ramp-up rate annealing (Γ = 50 ~ 100 C/s) in nitrogen atmosphere. Fig.1 shows a typical microstruture of a Bi-susbtituted garnet film deposited by r.f. sputtering and then subsequently crystallized by a rapid thermal annealing technique at Γ = 50 C/s at 650 °C for 2 min. The structure is a single phase of garnet, and a grain size is about 300A.

Surface properties of nanoscale iron garnet films of different compositions prepared by reactive ion beam sputtering were examined by means of scanning probe microscopy. Atomic force microscope images of the film surfaces are represented for the films of different compositions and deposition times. The article presents the dependences of the roughness parameters on the film composition and thickness and on the energy of Ar+ ions by which the substrates were pre-treated. It was shown that the roughness parameters of the films' surface increase with the increase of Ar+ ions energy and the films' thickness.
