An in-situ substrate cooling procedure has been carried out in a hard magnetic disk sputtering process to reduce the disk temperature prior to a deposition of a protective overcoat. The effects of cooling on the tribological and magnetic performance of the media are examined and directly compared for the amorphous carbon (a-C), amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) and amorphous nitrogenated carbon...
