摘要:
A magnetoresistive sensor (10) having permanent magnet stabilization includes a magnetoresistive layer (12), at least one permanent magnet (14a or 14b), and first and second current contacts (16a and 16b). The magnetoresistive layer (12) has an active sensing region (18) having a first thickness, and at least one under layer region (26a or 26b), with each under layer region (26a or 26b) having a second thickness that is less than the first thickness. Each permanent magnet (14a or 14b) is formed upon an under layer region (26a or 26b) of the magnetoresistive layer (12), and the first and second contacts (16a and 16b) are electrically coupled to the active region (18).

A process for fabricating a negative pressure slider is disclosed which briefly comprises the steps of: (a) applying a dry negative photoresist layer to the surface of the slider; (b) positioning a mask having alignment marks which are too narrow to be resolved during exposure and development to pattern the photoresist layer to expose the portions of the flying surface of the slider to be milled by an ion milling process; (c) ion milling the slider wherein the patterned photoresist layer protects the flying surface of the slider while the negative pressure cavities of the slider are being milled; and (d) removing the remaining portions of the photoresist layer once the negative pressure cavities have been milled.
摘要:
A Metal-In-Gap (MIG) ferrite magnetic head has a ferrite core with a layer of high magnetic moment material (such as Sendust) deposited on one or both of the core faces. A thin barrier layer of tungsten or tantalum is positioned between the ferrite and the high magnetic moment material.
