Corrosion of Thin-Film Storage Media: A Review

  • Chapter
Electrochemistry in Transition

Abstract

The computer, one of the most important technological innovations of the 20th century, is rapidly decreasing in size while increasing in power. Small, powerful computers require small, high-capacity devices for permanent storage of data. The particulate disk, which has served in generations of computers, is not capable of meeting the projected density requirements and is being replaced by higher capacity thin-film disks and optical disks. The new kinds of disks, however, have less environmental stability than particulate disks. Thus, a stable disk is being replaced by a more vulnerable disk just as computers are being moved from controlled environments into the uncontrolled environments of homes, offices, and plants.
