In other words, the manufacturing conditions are extremely strict because they are trying to bring out the inherent characteristics by using all the manufacturing conditions (for example, the degree of vacuum during sputtering, gas pressure, substrate temperature, margin before sputtering speed) It also had the disadvantage that the magnetic recording characteristics of the media developed in the United States were limited.
