    摘要: A GMR read head for a magnetic head, in which the hard bias layers are fabricated immediately next to the side edges of the free magnetic layer, and such that the midplane of the hard bias layer and the midplane of the free magnetic layer are approximately coplanar. The positioning of the hard bias layer is achieved by depositing a thick hard bias seedlayer, followed by an ion milling step is to remove seed layer sidewall deposits. Thereafter, the hard bias layer is deposited on top of the thick seed layer. Alternatively, a first portion of the hard bias seed layer is deposited, followed by an ion milling step to remove sidewall deposits. A thin second portion of the seed layer is next deposited, and the hard bias layer is then deposited.

    摘要: A current perpendicular to plane (CPP) sensor having a sensor stack lead layer that is resistant to corrosion. The sensor includes a sensor stack having a capping layer at its top. A lead layer constructed of a non-corroding material such as Ru, Rh, Au or some similar material is formed over the capping layer. A magnetic shield material such a NiFe can then be deposited over the lead layer. The non-corroding lead material prevents the cap layer from corroding, preventing corrosion from causing parasitic resistance in the area in and around the lead and capping layers, thereby increasing sensor performance and reliability.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive sensor having a hard bias structure having increased coercivity and squareness. The structure also allows the use of a thinner seed layer, which results in improved biasing by decreasing the spacing between the hard magnetic bias layer and the free layer of the sensor. The hard bias structure can be deposited over either a crystalline structure or over an amorphous material. The hard bias structure includes a hard bias material comprising CoPt deposited over a seed layer including a layer of NiTa and a layer of CrMo.

    摘要: A magnetic head including an electrical lead layer that is comprised of a material having an ordered crystalline structure. In a preferred embodiment, the ordered crystalline structure of the electrical lead is epitaxially matched to the crystalline structure of the hard bias layer upon which it is formed, and there is no need for a seed layer for the electrical leads. Electrical leads having an ordered crystalline structure, particularly a B2, L10, L11, L12 and D03 structure, will have significantly reduced resistivity over the prior art electrical leads that are typically composed of rhodium or tantalum. As a result, thinner electrical leads can be fabricated which carry the same, or even greater, current than the prior art rhodium or tantalum leads. The preferred leads are comprised of NiAl having a B2 crystalline structure, and alternative embodiments are comprised of CuAu, Cu3Au, Ni3Al and Fe3Al.
