    摘要: Present processes used for planarizing a cavity filled with a coil and hard baked photoresist require that a significant amount of the thickness of the coils be removed. This increases the DC resistance of the coil. In the present invention a layer of alumina is deposited onto the surface of the excess photoresist, following which CMP is initiated. The presence of the alumina serves to stabilize the photoresist so that it does not delaminate. CMP is terminated as soon as the coils are exposed, allowing their full thickness to be retained and resulting in minimum DC resistance. Application of this process to the manufacture of a two coil planar magnetic write head is described.

    摘要: A method for forming a magnetic transducer, and a magnetic transducer formed through the method. There is first provided a substrate. There is then formed over the substrate a first magnetic pole layer. There is then formed upon the first magnetic pole layer a gap filling dielectric layer. There is then formed upon the gap filling dielectric layer a seed layer. There is then formed upon the seed layer a photoresist frame employed in a photoresist frame plating method for forming a plated second magnetic pole layer upon the seed layer, where a base of a sidewall of the photoresist frame has a taper which provides a notch within an edge of the plated second magnetic pole layer at its interface with the seed layer. There is then plated through the photoresist frame plating method the plated second magnetic pole layer upon the seed layer, where the seed layer is formed of a thickness and of a material which compensates when electromagnetically energizing the magnetic transducer for a magnetic write field gradient boundary decompression between the first magnetic pole layer and the plated second magnetic pole layer due to the notch within the plated second magnetic pole layer. The method for forming the magnetic transducer contemplates the magnetic transducer formed through the method.

    摘要: An exchange-biased magnetoresistive (MR) read transducer in which the MR layer composition is changed at the interface with an antiferromagnetic layer, which is in direct contact with the ferromagnetic MR layer. The exchange-bias field strength H.sub.UA in the MR layer is increased at room temperature by adding a specially-optimized transition region in the ferromagnetic MR layer at the interface. The percentage of iron in the ferromagnetic alloy varies from a higher value at the interface to a lower value at the opposite end of the transition region. The higher iron ratio at the antiferromagnetic interface enhances the exchange-bias field H.sub.UA and the lower iron ratio throughout the bulk of the ferromagnetic MR layer maintains the lower coercivity preferred in the layer, thereby enhancing the longitudinal bias field with respect to the MR coercivity. Advantageously, the enhanced longitudinal bias effect of the special ferromagnetic transition region does not reduce the critical temperature T.sub.cr at which the temperature-dependent exchange-bias field H.sub.UA (T) approaches zero.

    摘要: A magnetic disk storage system with high linear resolution magnetoresistive (MR) head or heads comprising a dielectric substrate, a first magnetic shield, a first gap insulation layer, an MR stripe element, conductive leads, a second gap insulation layer, and a second magnetic shield. Back-fill layers of insulation material are deposited on the first gap insulation layer adjacent the MR element and/or on the second gap insulation layer in thicknesses substantially sufficient to at least in part replace insulation material removed during the various processing steps to ensure against short circuiting of the MR element. The MR element preferably is a trilayer comprising a soft MR sensing layer biased at an acute angle to the lengthwise dimension of the element but free to rotate therefrom according to the magnitude and direction of applied magnetic field; a soft magnetic or hard magnetic layer with magnetization fixed in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the MR element; and a spacer layer separating these two layers.

    摘要: An MRAM structure is disclosed in which the bottom electrode has an amorphous TaN capping layer to consistently provide smooth and dense growth for AFM, pinned, tunnel barrier, and free layers in an overlying MTJ. Unlike a conventional Ta capping layer, TaN is oxidation resistant and has high resistivity to avoid shunting of a sense current caused by redeposition of the capping layer on the sidewalls of the tunnel barrier layer. Alternatively, the α-TaN layer is the seed layer in the MTJ. Furthermore, the seed layer may be a composite layer of NiCr, NiFe, or NiFeCr layer on the oc-TaN layer. An α-TaN capping layer or seed layer can also be used in a TMR read head. An MTJ formed on an α-TaN capping layer has a high MR ratio, high Vb, and a RA similar to results obtained from MTJs based on an optimized Ta capping layer.
