Co-Cr perpendicular magnetic anisotropy films were deposited by sputtering using electron-cyclotron resonance microwave plasma. The effects of ion acceleration voltage for bombardment of the substrate during film deposition on the magnetic microstructure and magnetic properties of the Co-Cr films were investigated. The ion acceleration voltage was controlled by magnetic field distribution in a deposition chamber. Co-Cr films with a fine magnetic structure in which the compositional separation into a Cr-enriched region and a Co-enriched region was enhanced within grains were achieved under a cusp magnetic field in which the ion acceleration voltage was about 10 V.
