    摘要: A current to perpendicular to plane (CPP) magnetoresistance (MR) read head using current confinement proximal to an air bearing surface (ABS) is disclosed. A CPP MR read head includes a first shield, an MR sensor formed on the first shield, and a second shield contacting the MR sensor proximal to an ABS. The CPP MR read head further includes insulating material between the MR sensor and the second shield, where the insulating material is distal to the ABS to electrically isolate the MR sensor from the second shield distal to the ABS. Sense current injected from the second shield through the MR sensor and into the first shield is confined proximal to the ABS at a location where the second shield contacts the MR sensor.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus provide a refill configuration adjacent a back-edge that defines a height of a magnetoresistive read sensor. Milling through layers of the sensor forms the back-edge and may be initially conducted at a first angle of incidence greater than a second angle of incidence. In combination, an insulating material and a polish resistant material, such as a non-magnetic metal, disposed on the insulating material fills a void created by the milling. The sensor further includes first and second magnetic shields with the layers of the sensor along with the polish resistant material and insulating material disposed between the first and second magnetic shields.

The combined manufacturable wafer and test device comprises a tunneling-magnetoresistance, sensor-layer structure disposed on a substrate. The combined manufacturable wafer and test device also comprises a plurality of partially fabricated tunneling-magnetoresistance sensors; at least one of the partially fabricated tunneling-magnetoresistance sensors is disposed at one of a plurality of first locations. The test device is disposed on the substrate at a second location different from the plurality of first locations. The test device allows measurement of the tunneling-magnetoresistance property of the tunneling-magnetoresistance, sensor-layer structure using a current-in-plane-tunneling technique.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive sensor has a high resistance soft magnetic layer disposed between the sensor stack and at least one magnetic shield. The presence of the high resistance soft magnetic layer allows a smaller magnetic read gap to be achieved which results in higher recording density. The susceptibility of the magnetoresistive sensor to defects and electrostatic damage is improved. A disk drive is provided having the novel magnetoresistive sensor.

    摘要: Recording heads having an ESD shunt trace and methods of fabricating the same are disclosed. A recording head of the invention includes a first shield, a second shield, an MR read element between the first shield and the second shield, and an ESD shunt trace. The ESD shunt trace is formed from MR layers and is connected to the MR read element and one or both of the first shield and the second shield. One or more of the MR layers forming the ESD shunt trace are processed to reduce the MR properties of the ESD shunt trace. Examples of processing the ESD shunt trace are ion milling, ion implantation, oxidizing, reactive ion etching, sputter etching, wet chemical etching, etc.
