A sputter-deposited SmCo5 thin film with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy has been developed. The Sm?Co film, composed of [Co (0.41?nm)/Sm (0.31?nm)]35, was prepared by sputtering on a Cu (100?nm)/glass substrate at various substrate temperatures. The coercivity was found to increase rapidly at 325?345?C and to be much greater in the direction perpendicular to the film surface than in the film plane. By using in-plane x-ray diffractometry, reflection peaks of the Sm?Co film deposited at 325?345?C were confirmed to originate from the SmCo5 phase, and the film showed a preferred orientation of the c-axis in the direction perpendicular to the film surface. The Co/Sm laminate structure deposited on the Cu seedlayer at an appropriate substrate temperature was found to be the key to promoting crystallization of the SmCo5 with its c-axis oriented perpendicular to the film surface.
