    摘要: A lift-off method for forming write pole of a magnetic write head and write pole formed thereby is disclosed. A write pole including a hard mask on a top portion of the write pole is formed. A layer of material for reinforcing sidewall fencing of the write pole is deposited. Portions of the layer of material on top of the write pole are removed while the layer of material at the sidewall fencing is left to provide support to the sidewall fencing.

    摘要: A method for forming a via in an alumina protective layer on a structure such as a magnetic write head for use in perpendicular magnetic recording. A structure such as a magnetic pole, and or magnetic trailing shield, is formed over a substrate and is covered with a thick layer of alumina. The alumina layer can then be planarized by a chemical mechanical polishing process (CMP) and then a mask structure, such as a photoresist mask, is formed over the alumina layer. The mask structure is formed with an opening disposed over the contact pad. A reactive ion mill is then performed to remove portions of the alumina layer that are exposed at the opening in the mask, thereby forming a via in the alumina layer.

    摘要: A thin film conductive line is formed between MR pads on an MR head for protecting an MR sensor from electrostatic discharge (ESD) during assembly steps between row level fabrication of the head and prior to merge of a head stack assembly with a disk stack assembly. The conductive line may have a reduced thickness delete pad. A laser beam having a fluence sufficient to sever the conductive line at the delete pad but insufficient to damage or cause debris from structure underlying or surrounding the conductive line is used to sever the conductive line. The method traverses minimum energy, short laser pulses at a high pulse rate across the width of the conductive line so that each laser pulse melts conductive material across the line, the melted material withdrawing from the melted area and being heaped on top of adjacent portions of the delete pad by surface tension and the melted material cooling to room temperature before the next pulse so that there is no cumulative heating and therefore no damage to or debris from the underlying structure. The conductive material of the line is incrementally plowed to each side of a severed path by successive overlapping laser pulses so that when the series of laser pulses has traversed the width of the delete pad the conductive line has been severed.
