Magnetic properties and thermal stability by exchange biased perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in (Pd/Co)$_{N}$FeMn multilayer deposited by do magnetron sputtering system are investigated. We measured the perpendicular magnetization curves of (Pd(0.8nm)/Co(0.8nm)$_{5}$FeMn multilayer as function of FeMn thickness and annealing temperature. As FeMn thickness increases from 0 to 21nm, the perpendicular exchange bias(Hex) obtained 127 Oe at FeMn thickness 15nm. As the annealing temperature increases to 24$0^{\circ}C$, the E$_{ex}$ increased from 115 Oe to 190 Oe and disappeared exchange biased perpendicular magnetic anisotropy effect at 33$0^{\circ}C$.

$200{\AA}$ thick Co/Pd multilayered thin films were fabricated by sputtering. Two thicknesses of cobalt sublayer, $2{\AA}$ and $4{\AA}$ were chosen and the effects of sputtering pressure on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were investigated. It has been found that the optimum pressure for maximum perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA) existed and the pressure for maximum PMA was lower for the multilayer with $2{\AA}$ cobalt layer than that with $4{\AA}$ cobalt thickness. As the sputtering gas presssure increased, domain wall motion with magnetization became difficult and the predominant mode of magnetization reversal changed from domain wall motion to magnetic moment rotation. It turned out that the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was higher in case of $2{\AA}$ cobalt thickness than $4{\AA}$ cobait thickness.

We investigate the exchange bias effect in $[Pd/Co]_5$ superlattice structures which are representative system of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We fabricate Si/$[Pd/Co]_5$/FeMn structures, and study the exchange bias variations by measuring hysteresis loop variations with thickness of FeMn layer. In order to optimize the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, we fix the thickness of Pd with 1.1 nm and investigate the dependence of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy on the ferromagnetic Co layer thickness. As results, we find that the biggest coercivity in 0.3 nm of Co layer without FeMn layer. The biggest exchange bias field is found for 0.3 nm of Co layer when we change the Co thickness with fixed FeMn thickness. When we vary thickness of FeMn layer, the biggest coercivity is found for 5 nm of FeMn layer. No exchange bias is observed when the FeMn layer is thinner than 3 nm, and the exchange bias field increases with FeMn layer thickness continuously up to 15 nm.

We investigate the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in $TiO_2$/Co/Pd on GaAs(100), MgO(100), MgO(111), Si(100), and glass substrates. We find that the roughness of $TiO_2$ depends on the $O_2$ partial pressure in the magnetron sputtering process. The perpendicular magnetic anisotropies are found in all substrates with $TiO_2$ seed layer, and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of Co/Pd system is insensitive on the type of the substrate when the thickness of $TiO_2$ seed layer is thicker than 5 nm. However, MgO(111) substrate promotes $TiO_2$ rutile (111) structure, and it causes largest perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in $TiO_2$/Co/Pd(111) structures.

Magnetic properties by exchange biased perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in [Pd(0.8 nm)/Co(0.8 nm)]$_{5}$/FeMn(15 nm) multilayers deposited by dc magnetron sputtering system are investigated. As inserted Pd layer of interface between [Pd/Co] multilayer and FeMn film, the Hex of perpendicular anisotropy was improved from 127 Oe to 145 Oe. But result of an experiment by thermal stability, the Hex of the case that an inserted layer was inserted in decreased from low 20$0^{\circ}C$ in about 5$0^{\circ}C$ more if not inserted. If Ta was a buffer layer, the experiment results along material of buffer layer, the H$_{ex}$ obtained the largest 127 Oe. And if Pd was a buffer layer, H$_{ex}$ obtained the largest 169 Oe. Also, the Hc in buffer layer of Ta and Pd obtained the largest 203 Oe and 453 Oe, respectively.
