Abstrakt: We have fabricated arrays of Co dots having diameters of 100 nm and 70 nm using interference lithography. The density of these arrays is 7.2/spl times/10/sup 9//in/sup 2/. Magnetic force microscopy measurements indicate that the Co dots are single-domain with moments that can be controlled to point either in-plane or out-of-plane. Interference lithography is a process that is easily scaled to large areas and is potentially capable of high throughput. Large, uniform arrays of single-domain structures are potentially useful for high-density, low-noise data storage. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
