摘要： A writer for perpendicular recording on bilayer media with suppressed skew angle effect on the width of the recorded track is disclosed. The writer has a wide and flat trailing edge and a narrow leading edge. In a preferred embodiment, the pole has a trapezoidal cross-section. To suppress the skew effect on the width of the recorded track, the slope angle of the pole sides may be greater than the maximum skew angle in a drive.

摘要： A method and apparatus for reducing the amount of off-track pickup by a read/write head in a disc drive are disclosed. The read element of the head is placed in a separation zone formed between two pole pieces. The separation zone is positioned along with the read element over a current data track. Another separation zone is formed between the two pole pieces at the sides of the read element. This separation zone formed at the sides of the read element is positioned over adjacent data tracks and has a smaller width to prevent the stray magnetic flux from the adjacent tracks from reaching the read element.

摘要： Herein is disclosed a method and apparatus for controlling a lapping process, so as to create a read/write head that contains a primary magnetoresistive read element with a desired stripe height. An improved lapping guide is achieved by incorporating a secondary magnetoresistive element into a read/write head. By virtue of its location on the same read/write head as a primary magnetoresistive element (used for reading data during operation of the disc drive), the secondary element is located in close proximity to the primary element, resulting in smaller tolerances in aligning or relating the top edges of the primary and secondary elements. Accordingly, the secondary magnetoresistive element more reliably serves as a proxy for the primary element. Optionally, the secondary magnetoresistive element may be fashioned with identical dimensions as the primary element, so as to render the secondary element equivalent to the primary element with regard to magnetic sensitivity. During lapping, the magnetic sensitivity of the secondary magnetoresistive element is monitored and used as a proxy measurement of the magnetic sensitivity of the primary magnetoresistive read element.

摘要： The present invention comprises a magnetoresistive sensor including a cap layer, a free layer, a spacer layer, a pinned layer, an oxide layer, a pinning layer, a seed layer, and a substrate layer. The sensor consists of the cap layer adjacent the free layer. The free layer is adjacent to the spacer layer. The spacer layer is adjacent to the pinned layer. The pinned layer is adjacent to the oxide layer. The oxide layer is adjacent to the pinning layer. The pinning layer is adjacent to the seed layer and the seed layer is adjacent to the substrate. The present invention also comprises a method of manufacturing the magnetoresistive sensor including forming a layered structure. An electron specular scattering effect occurs at the oxide interface to achieve enhanced GMR responses while maintaining thermostability.
