    摘要: A wafer level test structure and method detects multiple magnetic domains and magnetic domain instability in a test magnetic element. The apparatus comprises a first MR sensor designed to be held in a single magnetic domain by shape anisotropy and a second MR sensor having a permanent magnet to hold the element in a single magnetic domain. A circuit connects the first and second MR sensors to detect differences between the changes in resistance between the first and second sensors in the presence of a magnetic field or differences in resistance after the application and release of a magnetic field. The circuit is preferably a balance circuit in which imbalance in the presence of a magnetic field indicates the presence of multiple magnetic domains in at least one of the test sensors. Magnetic domain stability may be tested by applying an external field to disrupt the existing single domain state of the test sensors, and thereafter detecting differences in resistance of the sensors during reversal of the magnetic field.

    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.

    摘要: An assembly comprises a magnetoresistive element (16), a thermally conductive member or magnetic film (18, 26), and a film of thermally conductive, high electrical resistivity amorphous diamond-like carbon (14, 22) sandwiched between the magnetoresistive element and the thermally conductive member. In an MR head (12), at least one of the half-gaps of the MR head is fabricated of the amorphous diamond-like carbon film to dissipate heat from the MR element to the thermally conductive magnetic film(s) and shield the MR element from the magnetic film(s).

    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 method of fabricating an inverted magnetoresistive head is disclosed. The method includes fabricating a writer. The writer includes a bottom pole positioned within a recessed substrate. The bottom pole is filled with copper coils and polymer. A write gap, a pole tip, and a top pole/bottom shield are fabricated on a portion of the polymer. A top surface of both the polymer and the write gap are planarized to provide a substantially smooth surface upon which a reader can be placed. The reader is fabricated on top of the writer and includes a first reader gap, a magnetoresistive element, a second reader gap, and a shield.

    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.
