1) The document introduces Fujifilm's barium ferrite tape technology. Barium ferrite tapes offer higher capacity, stable recording, and long archival life compared to previous magnetic particle tapes.
2) Barium ferrite particles are smaller, perpendicularly magnetized, and have higher magnetic properties than magnetic particles. This results in less noise, higher output, and stable performance even at high recording densities.
3) Key benefits of barium ferrite include high capacity through smaller bit cells, stable recording performance over the life of the drive, and long archival life since barium ferrite does not deteriorate through oxidation like magnetic particles.

Recently IBM demonstrated a 220 TB Tape Cartridge. I will show the future of Tape Technology and the enhancement made in Tape Storage. Also I give an outlook in Hard-Disk and in Flash Technology. The roadmap in areal density and capacity growth in those different technology will force us to rethink our backup storage architecture in the future. I will discuss and compare those different storage technologies areal density, roadmap, bit error rate, cost and power consumption. I will calculate some example related to backup environment where not only huge data are stored but also many data processed daily.

What is so great about Barium
Ferrite?
25
To begin,
let’s look at the fundamentals of
magnetic recording…
26. FUJIFILM Confidential
Single Bit Cell These are “magnetic particles”
+ bit cell + bit cell + bit cell- bit cell- bit cell
26
Surface of Magnetic tape
Data tape consists of tiny microscopic “magnetic particles” uniformly
dispersed and coated on the surface of tape, then small cells so called
“bit cell” are written onto it.
Each cell is magnetized as either positive or negative and multiple
combinations become data (just as digital data is made up of 1s and
0s).
Bit Cell & Magnetic Particle
27. FUJIFILM Confidential
MP BaFe
27
New Particle to Support Future Tapes
The biggest difference of LTO6 from the past
generations is that this time Fujifilm elected to
use Barium Ferrite magnetic particles instead of
using the current metal particles.
Again, this is Fujifilm’s unique technology.
29. FUJIFILM Confidential
High Capacity
Recording Stability
Long Archival Life
3 Major Benefits of Barium Ferrite
To explain these benefits, we need to
understand the 4 features of Barium Ferrite.
29
30. FUJIFILM Confidential
1. Small Particle Size
2. High Magnetic Property
3. Perpendicularly Magnetized
4. Oxidized Material
4 Features of Barium Ferrite
30
33. FUJIFILM Confidential 33
Less Signal Noise
Example: Compare high resolution picture and low resolution picture.
Smaller the particle, larger the data in one bit cell. More
data in a cell results in less noise and clearer signal.
Small Particle = More Particles in single Bit Cell = Less
Noise
High Resolution
(More Particles)
Low Resolution
(Less Particles)
35. FUJIFILM Confidential
Disadvantages of MP
• MP’s magnetic property depend on it’s aspect ratio. As
the size gets smaller magnetic property becomes lower
(performance as a magnetic particle becomes poor).
• MP is horizontally magnetized whereas Barium Ferrite is
vertically magnetized.
2. Perpendicularly Magnetized
35
Advantages of Barium Ferrite
• Barium Ferrite’s magnetic property does not
depend on it’s shape.
• Barium Ferrite is perpendicularly magnetized.
36. FUJIFILM Confidential 36
2. Perpendicularly Magnetized
- Bit Cell + Bit Cell - Bit Cell+ Bit Cell
- Bit Cell + Bit Cell - Bit Cell+ Bit Cell
Because MPs are horizontally magnetized, the particles
tend to cancel (demagnetize) each other → Output Loss.
Since Barium Ferrite is perpendicularly magnetized, above
phenomenon does not occur.
Less
Output
Loss
37. FUJIFILM Confidential
3. High Magnetic Property
37
Barium Ferrite magnetic
particles has a higher
magnetic property
compared to metal
particles.
High magnetic property leads to
less output loss.
38. FUJIFILM Confidential

Therefore…
Barium Ferrite tapes have

High Capacity “Bit Size and Capacity”
Barium Ferrite enables production of
tapes with much smaller areal density
resulting in tapes with much higher
capacity.
This is possible because Barium
Ferrite tape has great performance
even when bit cells become small.

Fujifilm’s Barium Ferrite magnetic tape particles established the world’s
highest areal density of 29.5 billion bits per square inch.

MP is mainly made of iron (Fe) therefore it will oxidize after time
and it’s magnetic property will deteriorate. In order to slow that
down, outer layer of MP is intentionally oxidized from the beginning.
3. Barium Ferrite is an Oxide (=stable material)

Barium Ferrite is mainly made of an oxide,
therefore it does not lose it’s magnetic
property due to oxidization.

-Tape storage is proved to be the ideal solution for high
capacity, high reliability, efficiency and low cost archiving.
-Technology to support tape’s largest benefit “high capacity”
has been continuously improving. Now with the Barium
Ferrite, tape proved it’s potential to support another 10 year
roadmap and in 2011, StorageTek’s T10000 (5TB) and
IBM’s JC media for TS1140, the two first tape cartridges
using Barium Ferrite were introduced.
-Fujifilm is determined to continuously contribute to future
development of tape to meet increasing demand of data
recovery and data archive requirements.

Editor's Notes
Now take a look at history of FUJI Recording media products division.
Recording Media Div has a long history. One of the key technology of FUJI FILM is very thin layer coating technology from a long time ago, it was very natural for FUJI to enter into magnetic tape business.
This is not a magnetic tape business, but FUJI made a First Computer made in Japan for designing the optical lense which requires very complicated calculation. Now this is preserved in National Scientific Museum in Tokyo.
From here, I will talk about detail of Fujifilm tape technology.
Our tape technology based on NANOCUBIC technology.
NANOCUBIC technology is composed following three technology.
First is NANO-particle technology. it is nano-particle synthesis technology.
Second is nano-coating technology. It is coating technology for nano-order thickness.
Third is nanodispersion technology. It is dispersion technology for monodisperse nanoparticle.
Each technology keeo on evolving.

From here, I will describe the smooth surface.
This slide shows the surface design concept, by which low friction and narrow spacing are realized simultaneously with smooth surface.
Upper figure is the schematic surface profile of previous demonstration tape medium. Lower is that of the latest one. The main component in this surface profile is long pitch wave undulation. This surface causes high friction because real contact area between tape and head is large becaue of surface contact, as shown in this figure. Low friction is achieved with the small contact area between head and tape with point contacts as shown in this figure. We tried to create the surface profile to be reduced long pitch wave undulation and provided many uniform low height asperities.
