    摘要: A magnetic structure is formed by depositing a layer of diamond-like carbon onto the exposed surface of an a first material and depositing a layer of second material onto the layer of diamond-like carbon. A photoresist is applied to the exposed surface of the second layer and is patterned in the form of the desire structure. The exposed portions of the second layer are removed with a wet etchant that does not attack the diamond-like carbon layer. Thereafter, any remaining photoresist is removed.

    摘要: A diamond-like carbon mask is formed on the surface of the magnetic material for ion-milling the magnetic material into a magnetic pole of a transducer. The mask is formed by depositing a layer of diamond-like carbon over the magnetic material. Successive layers of photoresist, SiO.sub.2 and photoresist are applied over the magnetic material. The second layer of photoresist is patterned in the shape of the pole being formed. The exposed insulating layer is etched with an etchant that does not attack the diamond-like carbon, the exposed portions of the photoresist are exposed and removed, and the exposed portion of the diamond-like carbon is etched with an oxygen etchant. The remaining photoresist is washed away to remove the remaining insulating material. In one form of the invention, a layer of SiO.sub.2 may additionally be formed over the diamond-like carbon to protect the diamond-like carbon from being affected by any undercut of the photoresist by the oxygen etchant. The SiO.sub.2 layer is etched prior to etching the diamond-like carbon. The mask is used to ion mill the magnetic material to the desired pole.

    摘要: A thin film magnetic transducer supported on a substrate includes a coil that terminates at pads supported on the substrate. A layer of diamond-like carbon material encapsulates the head, substrate and coil, but not the pads. A thin layer of diamond-like carbon is deposited over the exposed portions of the transducer, coil and substrate. Three techniques are described for exposing the pads including employing a photoresist mask, depositing an adhesive layer of silicon over the conductive paths but not the pads, and using a photoresist mask to etch the diamond-like carbon layer over the pads and breaking down the silicon adhesive layer with a design voltage.

    摘要: A device and method for determining alignment accuracy between magnetoresistive elements and contacts of magnetoresistive heads formed on a wafer are disclosed. A first alignment test structure is defined using a first photomask. The first alignment test structure is formed from a first material having a first characteristic sheet resistivity. A second alignment test structure is defined using a second photomask. The second alignment test structure is formed from a second material having a second characteristic sheet resistivity lower than the first characteristic sheet resistivity. The second alignment test structure is formed in contact with the first alignment test structure. A resistance value is dependent upon the first and second characteristic sheet resistivities and upon alignment between the first alignment test structure and the second alignment test structure such that changes in alignment between the first and second alignment test structures result in changes in the resistance value. Changes in the resistance value are indicative of changes in alignment between magnetoresistive elements and contacts formed on the wafer.

    摘要: A two-piece pole for an inductive write head has a first pole piece in the tip region contiguous the gap and confronting the other pole across the gap. The first pole piece has a width defining the gap width of the write head at the air bearing surface. A second pole piece is connected to the first pole piece and extends to the back gap. At least a portion of the second pole piece is connected to the first pole piece and has a width larger than the width of the first pole piece. The second pole piece means has surfaces within the pole tip region that intersect at external corners facing the gap, at least two surfaces of each of these external corners being joined at an obtuse angle so that none of said external corner is a sharp external corner, thereby minimizing fringe fields. In one form, a pole cap between the first and second pole pieces has a trapezoidal configuration forming the obtuse angles.
