    摘要: A process for electroplating and annealing thin-films of nickel-iron alloys having from 63% to 81% iron content by weight to produce pole pieces having saturation flux density (BS) in the range from 1.9 to 2.3 T (19 to 23 kG) with acceptable magnetic anisotropy and magnetostriction and a coercivity (HC) no higher than 160 A/m (2 Oe). The desired alloy layer properties, including small crystal size and minimal impurity inclusions, can be produced by including higher relative levels of Fe++ ions in the electroplating bath while holding the bath at a lower temperature while plating from a suitable seed layer. The resulting alloy layer adopts a small crystal size (BCC) without significant inclusion of impurities, which advantageously permits annealing to an acceptable HC while retaining the high BS desired.

    摘要: A method for reducing plated pole height loss in the formation of a write pole for a magnetic write head is disclosed. The method includes forming a conductive layer on a thin film substrate, forming a photoresist layer on the conductive layer and forming a trench in the photoresist layer. A thick seed layer is then placed on the trench and on the photoresist layer surface using a collimator. Moreover, the process includes plating while applying a voltage to the thin film substrate where the electrically isolated seed layer is removed and the trench is filled with plating material, removing the photoresist layer, and removing the exposed portions of the conductive layer on the thin film substrate.

    摘要: An apparatus for patterning a self-aligned coil using a damascene process is disclosed. Coil pockets are formed in a first insulation layer disposed over a first pole layer. A barrier/seed layer is deposited along walls of the coil pockets in the insulation layer. Copper is formed in the coil pockets and over the insulation layer. The copper is planarized down to the insulation layer. The self-aligned coil process packs more copper into the same coil pocket and relaxes the coil alignment tolerance. Protrusions are prevented because of the more efficient and uniform spacing of the coil to reduce heat buildup in the head during a write.
