摘要:
A head gimbal assembly that includes a bleed resistor applied over a specified area of the reader, writer and ground leads in order to protect from ESD damage is disclosed. The present invention address the need for an ESD protection system that includes a consistent and secure connection with leads, that does not contaminate the drive environment and applies a consistent resistivity to both the reader and writer element by providing a head gimbal assembly with strategically placed bleed resistors that will protect the read element from transient charge produced any time during the fabrication, assembly, testing and shipment of the disc drive.

A rotary head apparatus includes a rotary drum having two magnetic heads mounted thereon. Each magnetic head has a recording-medium opposing surface curved in two convex shapes extending towards the outside of the drum, one along the longitudinal cross section of the magnetic head extending across the centerline laterally dividing the magnetic head into two parts so as to be orthogonal to the sliding direction of the recording medium, and the other along the lateral cross section orthogonal to the centerline. The apex of the lateral cross section is gradually displaced from the centerline as distancing itself from the center of the surface in the longitudinal direction and in the opposite direction to the above displacement as distancing itself from the center in the reverse longitudinal direction. Each displacement of the apex laterally away from the centerline in a sliding area of the recording medium is at most 2 μm.

A process is provided for synthesizing metal salts of perfluorinated polyethers containing at least one carboxylic acid group. The polymeric salts so provided are effective as anti-wetting and corrosion-protective agents. The metal salts of perfluorinated polyether acids may be used to prepare corrosion-protected substrates, including magnetic recording disks and magnetic recording heads.

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.

In a magnetic tunnel effect type magnetic head (20) having a magnetic tunnel junction element (26) sandwiched with conductive gap layers (25) and (27) between a pair of magnetic shielding layers (24) and (28), the conductive gap layers (25) and (27) are formed from at least one nonmagnetic metal layer containing a metal element selected from Ta, Ti, Cr, W, Mo, V, Nb and Zr. Therefore, the magnetic head (20) can have an improved face opposite to a magnetic recording medium.

A system and method are provided for manufacturing a magnetic head. Initially, a coil structure, a first pole layer, and a gap layer are formed. A second pole layer is then deposited to form a pair of flanking portions flanking a central portion of the second pole layer. Thereafter, the second pole layer is masked with a photoresist layer. During manufacture, the flanking portions of the second pole layer work in conjunction with the photoresist layer to substantially protect the coil structure from damage.

A magnetoresistive effect sensor uses a shielded-type magnetoresistive effect element using a magnetoresistive effect film formed by a basic configuration of a combination of a free layer, a barrier layer formed on the free layer, and a fixed layer formed on the barrier layer, wherein a sensing current flows substantially perpendicular to the magnetoresistive effect film, and wherein an amorphous material or a microcrystalline material is used in a lower shield.

A disk array device that prevents the processing of the host device from being interrupted or delayed by drive idle seek, idle seek being executed by all the drives at approximately fixed intervals. The disk array device predicts the approach of the scheduled times to start idle seek of each of the disk drives 23, 23, . . . and exercises control so that, within the same parity group, idle seek is not executed by two or more drives 23, 23, . . . at the same time. Within the same parity group, one of the drives whose idle seek scheduled start time is approaching is considered in advance to be executing idle seek and hence data access is denied beforehand. When a data read request with respect to the drive 23 that is considered to be executing idle seek is received, the required data is recovered by reading data from all the other drives 23, 23, . . . belonging to the same parity group.

An integrated thin film head comprises, in order to prevent short-circuit among the lead layer, upper lead layer and shield layers, a lower shield layer formed on a substrate, a lower readgap layer formed on the lower shield layer, an MR sensor layer formed on the lower readgap layer, a lead layer jointed with the MR sensor layer, an upper lead layer formed in contact with a part of the lead layer, an upper readgap layer formed to cover the MR sensor layer, lead layer and upper lead layer and an upper shield layer formed on the upper readgap layer. The part of the lead layer in contact with the upper lead layer is formed thinner than the part not contact with the upper lead layer.
