摘要:
A method is described for thin film processing using a selected CMP slurry with a silicon dioxide stop layer. The slurry includes an abrasive, preferably alumina, a corrosion inhibitor, preferably benzotriazole (BTA), and an oxidizer preferably hydrogen peroxide. The method is particularly useful for fabricating thin film heads where alumina is used as the dielectric. The method can be used to planarize metal structures surrounded by alumina in magnetic heads. The alumina refill is deposited to the final target height which is slightly below the height of the metal. A thin silicon dioxide stop layer is deposited over the alumina. The CMP is executed using the selected slurry to planarize the wafer down to the stop layer. Preferably only a negligible amount of the stop layer remains and the height of the metal structure is essentially the same as the deposited height of the refilled alumina.

A method for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) wafers having high aspect ratio surface topography. A wafer is positioned on a plate. A polishing pad is coupled to a platen. A polishing solution (e.g., slurry) is added between the polishing pad and the wafer. CMP is performed on the wafer by creating a relative movement between the polishing pad and the wafer. The polishing pad removes substantially all residual material from the channels. To accomplish this, the polishing pad has a compressibility of at least 5% at a polishing pressure of about 4 psi.

A method of manufacture of magnetic heads which include CoFe elements using CMP is presented. The method includes providing a slurry of Al2O3, adjusting the concentration of H2O2 in said slurry to within a range of 6-12% by volume and balancing mechanical polishing action. The balancing is done by adjusting the table speed of a mechanical polisher to within a range of 55-90 rpm, and adjusting polishing pressure to within a range of 5-7 psi. Also a magnetic head having elements made of CoFe material made by this method is disclosed.

摘要:
A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording. The method includes forming a write pole, and then depositing a refill layer. A mask structure can be formed over the writ pole and refill layer, the mask structure being configured to define a stitched pole. An ion milling or reactive ion milling can then be performed to remove portions of the refill layer that are not protected by the mask structure. Then a magnetic material can be deposited to form a stitched write pole that defines a secondary flare point. The stitched pole can also be self aligned with an electrical lapping guide in order to accurately locate the front edge of the secondary flare point relative to the air bearing surface of the write head.
摘要:
A magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording having a write pole with a concave trailing edge. The magnetic write pole can have a trapezoidal shape with first and second laterally opposed sides that are further apart at the trailing edge than at the leading edge. The write head may or may not include a magnetic trailing shield, and if a trailing shield is included it is separated from the trailing edge by a non-magnetic write gap layer. The concave trailing edge improves magnetic performance such as by improving the transition curvature. A method for constructing the write head includes forming a magnetic write pole by forming a mask structure over a deposited write pole material, the mask structure having an alumina hard mask and an image transfer layer such as DURAMIDE®. An alumina fill layer is then deposited and a chemical mechanical polish is performed to open up the image transfer layer. A reactive on etch is performed to remove the image transfer layer and a reactive ion mill or reactive ion etch is performed to remove the alumina hard mask and form a concave surface on the write pole.

摘要:
In a perpendicular recording head, a notch is formed in the top write gap at a location on top of the main pole. A perpendicular head with this notched top write gap structure has less transition curvature and better writability while reducing the adjacent track interference (ATI). Also, the process used to fabricate the head ensures that the trailing edge (writing edge) of the main pole is extremely flat with no corner rounding.
