    摘要: A method of making a magnetoresistive sensor includes defining a track width of a magnetoresistive element stack of the sensor with a hard mask and photoresist. Further, processes of the method enable depositing of hard magnetic bias material on each side of the stack after the hard mask used to define the track width is removed. A separate chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) stop layer that is different from the hard mask enables subsequent creating of a planar surface via CMP to remove unwanted material on top of the sensor stack.

    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.
