    摘要: A hard magnet biasing structure for a CPP-GMR or CPP-TMR read head for a magnetic recording disk drive is located between the two sensor shields and abutting the side edges of the sensor free layer. An insulating layer is located between the biasing structure and the lower shield and the side edges of the free layer. The biasing structure includes a seed layer of either Ir or Ru, a layer of ferromagnetic chemically-ordered FePt alloy hard bias layer on the seed layer, and a Ru or Ru/Ir capping layer on the FePt alloy hard bias layer. The FePt alloy has a face-centered-tetragonal structure with its c-axis generally in the plane of the layer. The relatively thin seed layer and capping layer allow the biasing structure to be made very thin while still permitting the FePt alloy hard bias layer to have high coercivity (Hc), a high remanent magnetization-thickness product (Mrt) and a high squareness (S=Mrt/Ms).

    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic recording write head has an improved antiferromagnetically-coupled laminated main pole (MP) formed on a substrate. The MP has two ferromagnetic multilayers, each comprising at least one FeCo/NiFe/FeCo ferromagnetic trilayer, antiferromagnetically coupled across an antiferromagnetically coupling (AFC) film consisting essentially of ruthenium (Ru). The MP has a NiFe layer directly above the AFC film, on the side of the AFC film opposite the side facing the substrate, and in contact with the Ru AFC film and the lower FeCo layer of the upper multilayer. There is no NiFe layer directly below the Ru AFC film so the side of the AFC film facing the substrate is in direct contact with the upper FeCo layer of the lower multilayer.
