Electroplating is compatible with the deposition of relatively thick layers i.e. several mm to 10s- of mu m. However eddy current losses mean that thick layers will have an inferior frequency response. We have used a low content phosphorous bath together with pulse reverse plating to generate Co-rich and Co-deficient multi-nanolayers of CoP having improved saturation magnetisation and a better frequency response. The plating parameters have been optimised in order to produce a material with low loss, and a high permeability of around 700 retained up to 103 MHz for a sample with a thickness of 1.7 mu m and a resistivity of 136 mu Omega cm.
