摘要:
An effective heat sink is provided for a magnetic recording head. The heat sink conducts heat away from the recording head thus limiting the range of temperatures to which the recording head is subjected. A heat sink on a recording head significantly reduces heat induced protrusion.

A data transducer, process for fabricating the same and methods for writing data to a magnetic storage media, such as magnetic tape (64), utilizing the lower pole (52) as the trailing edge of a write head (50). The lower pole (52) may be formed of sputtered FeN or FeN-based alloys since it can be formed on the planar substrate instead of overlying the write coil (56) and its associated layers. The lower pole (52) can be processed by wet-etching techniques because its width and edge contours are not critical dimensions which determine recording characteristics. Utilizing the wider and more planar lower pole (52) as the write head trailing edge results in a straighter magnetic transition on the media without the curved edges associated with the fringe fields at the edges of the narrower top pole (62).

A low-inductance thin-film head (60) includes a flux barrier layer (52) of electrical conductive, non-magnetic material such as copper, gold and aluminum positioned on the head, wherein stray flux from the head is cut off by the flux barrier layer (52) to reduce the inductance of the head (60). Stray flux entering the barrier layer creates an eddy current in the layer which cuts off the stray flux paths of the head. The flux barrier layer (52) can be placed in various positions, including downstream or upstream of the head (60), or between the poles (14, 16), to improve the read or write performance of the head.

A layered magnetic structure for use in a magnetic recording and/or readback head comprises at least first and second layers of silicon-aluminium-iron (SiAlFe), known as sendust. In one embodiment the multilayered magnetic structure includes a seed layer of a first sendust alloy and a bulk layer of a second sendust alloy overlying the seed layer, providing greatly improved anisotropic field and soft magnetic characteristics for the structure over a relatively wide range of compositions for the sendust material used for the bulk layer. The seed layer can be a single sendust layer or, alternatively, can be a multilayered structure including layers of a gas-doped sendust material and layers of non-doped sendust material formed in an alternating sequence. The dopant gas is a gas such as nitrogen, oxygen or air, for example. Because of the hardness exhibited by sendust films, the described multilayered sendust films are excellent candidates for magnetic shields and inductive pole tips exposed at the air bearing surface of a transducer in a magnetic storage device.
摘要:
A magnetic head has a magnetic core (23) structured so that soft magnetic thin films (31a, 31b, 31c, 31d) and insulating thin films (33a, 33b, 33c) are stacked alternately. In at least one layer of the soft magnetic thin films (31a, 31b, 31c, 31d), the thickness of the vicinity of a gap portion (25) is made smaller than that of the other portions. According to this structure, it is possible to decrease a magnetic reluctance of the magnetic core (23). Such magnetic core (23) is formed by repeating, to a substrate (27) having a plurality of grooves (35) formed thereon, the step of forming a thin film by using self-shadowing effects of a peak portion of the groove (35) and the step of applying an anisotropic etching process.
摘要:
A magnetic transducer for reproducing /recording high frequency signals with a magnetic tape medium includes a pair of opposed transducer head halves separated by an insulation gap and bonded together to form a Y-shaped pole structure, each half including a laminated at least partially ferromagnetic core portion bounded on opposite surfaces with conductive layers, each of which forms a winding coil portion. Each core section is formed as one-half of a Y-shaped cross-sectional configuration having a leg portion and an angularly disposed arm portion, the distal end of which is capped with a block-shaped ferromagnetic pole tip in magnetic path relation therewith, the two pole tips lying in a common plane transverse to the plane of the gap. The conductive layers on the outer and inner surfaces of the laminated core section form outer and inner conductors which, when conductively interconnected, such as by jumpers, are configured to form a one or two turn coil for the transducer. The inner conductor is of an inverted generally U-shaped configuration with the bight portion of the two inner conductors passing through, and substantially filling, the openings of the Y-shape on opposite sides of the insulation gap layer beneath the pole pieces. The method of fabricating the magnetic transducer generally comprises the steps of forming at least two generally identical transducer head halves, each having generally one half of a Y-shape, commencing with providing a substrate having a surface shaped to define the core configuration and having a band shaped to define the pole configurations; applying a conductive layer to the surface for providing an outer coil conductor ; alternately applying laminae of insulating and magnetic material to form a laminated core section ; applying a conductive layer over an insulation layer about the face and side edges of the laminated core section for providing an inner generally U-shaped coil conductor ; forming, in the band, a pole piece of magnetic material at the distal end of the arm of the core section ; bonding two such transducer head halves in facing relation to from a Y-shaped transducer with the bonding material being insulating and forming the gap between the two pole pieces.
