摘要

For those of us who enjoyed the introduction of personal computers in the early 1980's the inclusion of a state of the art 5-megabyte hard disk drive represented a stunning improvement in computer performance. Only 20 years later, today's 10-gigabyte drives, which occupy only 1/100th the volume and sell for 1/4~* the price of these original drives, are commonly found in notebook computers. Since the first viable commercialization of magnetic recording tape in the 1930's and hard disk drives in the 1950's the annual areal density growth rate remained reasonably constant at about 25 to 30% per year. However, with the introduction of thin-film hard-disk media and magnetoresistive transducers in the early 1990's this growth rate increased to about 60% per year, equaling the pace of the growth of computational power of integrated circuits. However, for the past few years the annual growth rate of hard disk recording density has accelerated to over 100 percent per year. Hence, during 2000 we have observed product introductions utilizing 15 gigabits/in2 and multiple laboratory demonstrations in the 30 - 50 gigabits/in2 range. By the end of 2000 products will be available utilizing over 20 gigabit/in2. The technology, which has enabled this apparent revolution in data storage areal density, is based upon both a comprehensive body of accumulated knowledge and significant discoveries concerning materials, signal processing and device-processing technology. And yet, by both simple and extensive modeling, fundamental physical limits to the maximum achievable areal density have been predicted to be nearly at hand. These predicted limits are based upon basic energy and signal-to-noise arguments associated with the recording media and can only be circumvented if one understands the underlying assumptions and then designs around these issues. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of some of these issues, of the state of the art hard disk media technology and to propose methods of extending recording densities beyond these limits.
