摘要： A magnetic write head having write pole and a wrap-around-trailing magnetic shield having side portions that are separated from the write pole by tapered non-magnetic side gap layers. The tapered non-magnetic side gap layers provide a non-magnetic side gap width that increases with increasing distance from the ABS, thereby providing optimal protection against adjacent track interference at the ABS while minimizing write field loss to the shield in regions away from the ABS.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head that has a trailing magnetic shield with a tapered write pole trailing edge, a non-magnetic step layer and a Ru bump and an alumina bump formed at the front of the non-magnetic step layer. The process forms a Ru/alumina side wall at the sides of the write pole, such that the Ru side wall is closest to the write pole. The Ru is removed more readily than the alumina during the ion milling that is performed to taper the write pole. This causes the Ru portion of the side wall to taper away from the write pole rather than forming an abrupt step. This tapering prevents dishing of the trailing edge of the write pole for improved write head performance.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head having a write pole with a flared step feature that defines a secondary flare point. The method involves depositing a magnetic write pole material on a substrate and then depositing a magnetic material over the write pole material followed by a non-magnetic material. A first mask is formed having a front edge to define the location of the secondary flare point, and one or more material removal processes are used to remove portions of the magnetic layer and non-magnetic layer that are not protected by this first mask. The first mask is replaced by a second mask that is configured to define a write pole, and an ion milling is performed to define the write pole. Shadowing from the magnetic layer and non-magnetic layer form a flared secondary flare point.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head. The write head is constructed by a method that includes depositing a magnetic write pole material and then depositing a hard mask over the magnetic material. An inorganic image transfer layer is formed over the hard mask. SiC, alumina, SiO2, SiN, Ta or TaOx. This image transfer is physically robust, so that it does not bend or tip over during manufacture. The image of a patterned photoresist layer can be transferred onto the underlying image transfer layer, and an ion milling can be performed to pattern the image of the image transfer layer onto the underlying hard mask and magnetic material, thereby forming a magnetic write pole.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head having a write pole a tapered trailing edge and a trailing, wrap-around magnetic shield with a slanted bump structure that steps away from the magnetic write pole. The method involves first forming a write pole and non-magnetic side gap layers, and then depositing a non-magnetic RIEable material. A mask is formed on the RIEable material and a reactive ion etching (RIE) is performed to form the RIEable material layer into a nonmagnetic bump with a tapered front edge.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording having a write pole with a very narrow track width and well controlled critical dimensions. The write pole is formed by depositing an electrically conductive seed layer over a substrate, and then depositing a photo resist layer over the seed layer. The photo resist layer is photolithographically exposed and developed to form an opening or trench in the photoreist layer, the opening defining the pattern of the write pole. A magnetic material is then plated into the opening in the photoresist layer. The photo resist layer can then be removed by a chemical lift off, and portions of the seed layer that are not covered by the write pole can be removed by ion milling.

摘要： A method for constructing a magnetic write head for use in perpendicular magnetic recording, the write head having a write pole with a trailing shield that wraps around the write pole. The method allows the trailing shield to be constructed with a very well controlled trailing gap thickness and also allows the write pole to be constructed with a well controlled track width and a straight, flat trailing edge. The method includes depositing a magnetic write pole over a substrate and forming a mask structure over the write pole layer. The mask structure includes an end point detection layer that can be removed by reactive ion etching. An ion mill is performed to form a write pole by removing magnetic write pole material that is not covered by the mask layer. A layer of non-magnetic material is deposited and is ion milled to expose the end point detection layer.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording. The method includes forming a write pole using a mask that includes a hard mask layer deposited over the write pole laminate material, and a thick, physically robust image transfer layer. The image transfer layer can be a material such as AlTiO that can be patterned by a reactive ion etching process, but which also resists deformation during processing. This process allows a write pole and wrap-around trailing shield to be constructed at very narrow track widths without the mask deformation and fencing problems experienced by prior art methods.

摘要： A magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic data recording. The write head includes a substrate and a magnetic write pole formed on the substrate, the write pole having a trailing edge and first and second sides. A magnetic stitched pole is formed over a portion of the magnetic write pole, the stitched pole having a front edge that defines a secondary flare point. First and second non-magnetic side walls are formed at the first and second sides of the write pole. The non-magnetic side walls extend from the substrate at least to the trailing edge of the write pole in a first region near an air bearing surface and wherein the first and second non-magnetic side walls extend from the substrate to a point between the substrate and the trailing edge, allowing the stitched magnetic pole to extend partially over the sides of the write pole.
