In the case of magnetic head of magnetoresistance effect type whose breakdown voltage is as low as 0.3 V, it is impractical to ignore even a very small amount of static electricity that occurs during fabrication or use. In one embodiment, the desired magnetic head is produced by forming an SiO2 layer on a silicon slider, thereby forming an SOI substrate; forming on the SOI substrate circuits to protect a TMR element from overvoltage and a read-write circuit; forming field effect transistors from an Si semiconductor layer (formed by reduction of the SiO2 layer or epitaxial growth on the SiO2 layer); forming three electrodes (source, gate, drain) on the Si semiconductor layer; forming a Schottky diode by Schottky contact (metal) with the Si semiconductor layer; forming overvoltage protective circuits of aluminum wiring on the SOI substrate; and forming a TMR element.

A disk drive seek control system device to reduce track pitch. When data is recorded, an offset value is added to the position of a read head element along the width of a track corresponding to an offset &Dgr;w between the read head element and a write head element. The value of the offset depends on the yaw angle &thgr; of the head. When data is read, the position of the read head element is chosen to be either the position of the write head element during write operations, or the midpoint between the position of the write head element and the read head element during write operations, or the center of a track.

A method and apparatus for recovering from operation errors arising in an information recording and reproducing unit using a head with a GMR sensor is described. The read and write operations of the unit comprise executing a first error recovery procedure for recovering the operation error, executing a first GMR evaluation procedure for evaluating the performance of the GMR sensor when the operation error cannot be recovered by the first error recovery procedure, and applying a resetting pulse to the GMR sensor in accordance with the first GMR evaluation procedure.

A drive unit which recovers from write instability by heating the magnetic head prior to performing a dummy write operation is described. In the preferred embodiments, once write instability has been detected the head may be heated by friction with the rotating disk or by an external heater. In the friction method the head is moved to a safe area of the disk such as a textured landing zone while the disk rotation is continued. In drives using unload ramps, a heater is preferably placed at the the ramp so that the head can be heated while parked on the ramp. In each of these embodiments dummy write operations are performed while the head is in a thermally excited state due to the heating. The combination of heating and the dummy write operation aids in restoring write stability.

A method and apparatus for reducing the amount of time from a power-on status to a ready status of a hard disk drive device. In response to a power-on of a disk drive device, the rotation of a data recording disk is started. The rotational speed of the data recording disk is increased. When it is detected that the rotational speed of the data recording disk reaches an intermediate rotational speed, which is lower than a final rotational speed of the data recording disk, the rotational speed of the data recording disk is fixed at the intermediate rotational speed. One or more control programs recorded on the data recording disk are read and then stored in a memory. Then a ready signal is sent to a host processor. The disk drive device may then receive a read command from the host processor to read data from the data recording disk and to transfer the data to the host processor is detected. The rotational speed of the data recording disk is increased from the intermediate rotational speed to the final rotational speed. A normal read/write operation of the disk drive device begins when it is detected that the data recording disk reaches its final rotational speed.
摘要:
In accordance with the present invention, the initialization for orienting the magnetized directions of the free layers of GMR heads (mounted on the diagonally shaded surface of sliders 14) by an external magnetic field is again executed also for the opposite direction, thereby to increase the yield of the GMR heads. Further, it is determined whether the magnetized direction of the pinned layer of GMR heads can be once reversed to the opposite direction, thereby to select damaged GMR heads at an early stage. Then, by performing a reset while performing a quasi-static test for seeing the read back response of the GMR head after restoring the magnetized direction of the pinned layer to a positive rotation, a safe and efficient reset is executed. The reset can be executed not only by applying only a pulse, but also while providing an external magnetic field in the pinning direction, or only by giving a high magnetic field. A tool 500 can be commonly used for the initialization, reset, or read back response through each process level. For the quasi-static test, coils 531, 532, and 533 are selectively used as Helmholz coils.
