摘要:
An MR transducer (70) is disclosed having passive end regions (71) separated by a central active region (77) in which an MR layer (81) is formed over substantially only the central active region and in which a magnetic bias layer (75,79) is formed in each passive end region. In one embodiment, each of the magnetic bias layers includes a layer of ferromagnetic material (79) and a layer of antiferromagnetic material (75) overlaying and in contact with the ferromagnetic layer to provide an exchange-coupled magnetic bias field. Alternatively a hard magnetic material is used to form the biasing layer. Each of the magnetic bias layers form an abutting junction (87) having magnetic and electrical continuity with the MR layer to produce a stable longitudinal magnetic bias field in the transducer, even when the length of the active region is small to accommodate small track widths.
摘要:
The electrical insulation (22) surrounding the conductive coil (20) in a thin film magnetic head (11) comprises a photosensitive resin which has been crosslinked by a thermally activated crosslinking agent or promotor. The addition of the thermally activated crosslinking agent or promotor greatly reduces both the cure temperature and cure time and results in enhanced dimensional stability without any deleterious effects.

摘要:
In a magnetoresistive (MR) read transducer comprising a thin MR film (10) formed of ferromagnetic material and a thin nonmagnetic spacer film layer (14) in contact with the MR film, the spacer film (14) comprises a material selected from the group consisting of nichrome and nichrome with chromium oxide. To make such a transducer, a thin soft magnetic material film is deposited in contact with the spacer film so that a transverse bias is produced in at least a part of the MR film. The resistivity of the spacer film can be chosen by selecting the ratio of nichrome to chromium oxide in the spacer film. In a specific embodiment (Fig. 2) the spacer film (24) extends over only the central region of the MR film (10). Where the MR film consists of a nickel based alloy, a wet chemical etching process using an etchant comprising an aqueous solution of ceric ammonium nitrate and acetic acid can be used to pattern the spacer film.
