The thickness dependence of structure, magnetic properties and read-write characteristics has been studied for sputtered iron oxide thin films prepared by RF reactive sputtering. For sputter-deposited Fe3O4 films, [111] preferential orientation perpendicular to film surface is improved and crystal size increases with an increase in thickness (δ). Magnetic properties for Fe3O4 films are affected by thickness. In particular, saturation magnetization rapidly decreases at thicknesses less than about 0.07 µm. From this perspective, it is concluded that a thickness larger than about 0.07 µm is available for practical use. For oxidation-annealed γ- Fe2O3 media, signal-output and media transition length are proportional to δ0.7 and δ0.5, respectively. A γ-(Co0.025Cu0.03Fe0.945)2O3 medium with a 0.071 µm thickness shows 0.51 mV of Epp, 2000 frpm of D-6 dB, -35 dB of O/W and 38 dB of SNR.
