Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve corrosion resistance and to obtain high satd. magnetization by forming a thin metallic film essentially consisting of iron nitride on a nonmagnetic substrate by a dry process thin film forming method. CONSTITUTION:A tape-like high-polymer film 6 is let off from a feed roller 2 and is transferred at a constant speed via a cooling can 4 to a take-up roller 3. The metal in a vapor deposition source 7 is heated by an electron beam to form vapor flow which deposits on the film 6 on the can 4. The gaseous nitrogen from an introducing port 13 is ionized by an ion gun 11 and the ions are projected simultaneously with the vapor flow onto the film 6. The degree of nitriding in the magnetic layer on the film 6 is controlled by the electric power of the electron beam for heating the vapor deposition source 7 and the glow discharge current in the ion gun 11. The thin metallic film on the film 6 is formed essentially of the iron nitride contg. 1-10atom% cobalt at this time.

However, since this alloy contains more than 70% Co, it is extremely monovalent, and its 118 femininity under high temperature and high humidity conditions is not sufficient. In order to correct this point, iron nitride (iron nitride) has recently been used as a magnetic material.
A prototype using FeN-based materials has been proposed and is attracting attention.

Further, the vapor deposition source (7) is arranged opposite to the cooling can (4), and the vapor deposition source (7) is arranged opposite to the cooling can (4). The arrangement is such that the metal in the source (7) is heated by the electron beam and deposited in a vapor stream on the film substrate 6 on the cooling can (4). At this time, the minimum incident angle θ of the vapor flow with respect to the film (6) is limited to approximately 55° by the shielding plate (9)K. Further, nitrogen gas introduced into the Kauffman type ion gun through the gas inlet port is ionized in the ion gun (11) and is incident on the film (6) at the same time as the vapor flow.
