We prepared Fe-Ni thick-films (u003e 1 μm) using an electroless deposition method and evaluated the magnetic properties and the crystal structures. The deposition rate depended on the concentration of dimethylamine-borane (DMAB), which is a reducing agent used in the present study, and we obtained a high deposition rate (u003e 10 μm/h) for Fe30Ni70 films when the DMAB concentration is higher than 3 g/L. From structural analyses of the films, we found that the films have very fine fcc Fe-Ni crystals in the amorphous magnetic phase. From the investigation of Co additives for the improvement in the surface conditions, we confirmed that a small amount of Co effectively works to obtain the smooth surfaces. As a result, we could obtain the Fe-Ni-system thick-films with low coercivity (50 A/m) and smooth surfaces.We prepared Fe-Ni thick-films (u003e 1 μm) using an electroless deposition method and evaluated the magnetic properties and the crystal structures.
