Eikon Thin Film Hard Disks THE MASS PRODUCTlON OF THIN FILM HARD DISKS The traditional magnetic storage media has been particulate iron oxide. However, as performance demands have increased in the disk drive industry, it has become clear that particulate iron oxide has definite limits. A good percentage of the surface is a nonmagnetic glue, and the size of the particles limits how closely the read/ write head may approach the surface. Thermal sensitivity and magnetostriction cause adverse fluctuations in magnetic charactertistics. Eikon produces an electrolytically plated thin film rigid disk capable of bit and track densities twice as great as particulate media, with improved signal to noise ratio, very low defect density, and lower manufacturing cost.
