    摘要: Aggressive (i.e. tight tolerance) stitching offers several advantages for magnetic write heads but at the cost of some losses during pole trimming. This problem has been overcome by replacing the alumina filler layer, that is used to protect the stitched pole during trimming, with a layer of electro-plated material. Because of the superior step coverage associated with the plating method of deposition, pole trimming can then proceed without the introduction of stresses to the stitched pole while it is being trimmed.

    摘要: A process for achieving tighter reader and writer track width control is disclosed. The write gap layer is used as the plating seed on which the upper pole is electro-formed. This allows the write gap layer to then be deposited through a precisely controllable process such as sputtering. Since less material needs to be removed during pole trimming, a thinner layer of photoresist may be used, resulting in improved dimensional control.

    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) head is fabricated with a pole tip shielded laterally by a separated pair of side shields and shielded from above by an upper shield. The side shields are formed by a RIE process using specific gases applied to a shield layer through a masking layer formed of material that has a slower etch rate than the shield material. A masking layer of Ta, Ru/Ta, TaN or Ti, formed on a shield layer of NiFe and using RIE gases of CH3OH, CO or NH3 or their combinations, produces the desired result. The differential in etch rates maintains the opening dimension within the mask and allows the formation of a wedge-shaped trench within the shield layer that separates the layer into two shields. The pole tip is then plated within the trench and, being aligned by the trench, acquires the wedge-shaped cross-section of the trench. An upper shield is then formed above the side shields and pole.

    摘要: Improved magnetic devices have been fabricated by replacing the conventional seed layer (typically Ta) with a bilayer of Ru on Ta. Although both Ru and Ta layers are ultra thin (between 5 and 20 Angstroms), good exchange bias between the seed and the AFM layer (IrMn about 70 Angstroms thick) is retained. This arrangement facilitates minimum shield-to-shield spacing and gives excellent performance in CPP, CCP-CPP, or TMR configurations.

    摘要: For PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording) design, one of the major technology problems is the use of CMP to fabricate the pole structure. If the device is under-polished there is a danger of leaving behind a magnetic shorting layer while if it is over-polished there may be damage to the main pole. This problem has been overcome by surrounding the main pole, write gap, stitched write head pillar with a layer of CMP etch stop material which, using optical inspection alone, allows CMP (performed under a first set of conditions) to be terminated just as the stitched write head gets exposed. This is followed by a second CMP step (performed under a second set of conditions) for further fine trimming of the stitched head, as needed.

    摘要: A method for forming a trimmed upper pole piece for a magnetic write head, said pole piece having a uniform width above and below a write gap layer. Prior art methods of trimming pole pieces to a final width using ion-beam etches produce pole pieces with thickness differentials due to the etch resistant nature of the alumina write-gap filling material. The present method uses NiCr, NiFeCr or Ru as write gap filling materials which have an etch rate which is substantially equal to the etch rate of the other layers forming the pole piece and are highly corrosion resistant.
