摘要:
Insertion of a two part trailing shield between the write gap and the upper return pole of a magnetic write head reduces the sensitivity of the latter to increases in the current driving the field coils (beyond the required minimum). A key feature is careful control of the distance between the upper component of the write shield and the main pole. A process for manufacturing the structure is outlined.
摘要:
A hard bias (HB) structure for biasing a free layer in a MR sensor within a magnetic read head is comprised of a main biasing layer with a large negative magnetostriction (λS) value. Compressive stress in the device after lapping induces a strong in-plane anisotropy that effectively provides a longitudinal bias to stabilize the sensor. The main biasing layer is formed between two FM layers, and at least one AFM layer is disposed above the upper FM layer or below the lower FM layer. Additionally, there may be a Ta/Ni or Ta/NiFe seed layer as the bottom layer in the HB structure. Compared with a conventional abutted junction exchange bias design, the HB structure described herein results in higher output amplitude under similar asymmetry sigma and significantly decreases sidelobe occurrence. Furthermore, smaller MRWu with a similar track width is achieved since the main biasing layer acts as a side shield.

摘要:
It is necessary to stabilize the free layer of GMR or TMR devices by providing a longitudinal bias field. As read tracks become very narrow, this field can drastically reduce the strength of the output signal. This problem has been overcome by adding an additional, compensatory, bias layer. This layer is permanently magnetized in the same direction as the main bias magnet. Through control of the magnetization strength and location of the compensatory bias layer, cancellation of the field induced in the free layer, by the main bias layers, is achieved. A process for manufacturing the devices is also described.
摘要:
In current high density magnetic memory systems a large write current is used, giving its waveform a large overshoot. This often brings about severe excess saturation of the media so the recorded transition quality degrades. This problem has been overcome by constricting a portion of the write head yoke. This effectively places a flux control valve ahead of the write pole tip which reduces the sensitivity of the write field to the write current as well as to other parameters, thereby enabling the write field to rise very rapidly without an excessive increase in the write width and reducing its sensitivity to the write current at low current values.
摘要:
To generate a high data transfer rate from a magnetic write head, a faster flux rise time is needed. This often brings about severe excess saturation of the head and, as a result, adjacent track erasures often occur. This problem has been overcome by indenting P1 away from the ABS so that there is a narrowing of P1 near, but not all the way to, the write gap. This causes the excess flux associated with high write currents to be diverted into P2 instead the P1 shoulder.
