    摘要: A magnetic write head and method of manufacture thereof that has a first pole structure having a notched structure configured with a steep shoulder portion and a narrow vertical notch portion extending from the top of the steep shoulder portion. The write head also includes a second pole structure (P2) that has a very narrow width (track width) and that is self aligned with the narrow vertical notch structure of the first pole structure. The write head provides excellent magnetic properties including a very narrow track width and minimal side writing, while avoiding magnetic saturation of the poles.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for independently controlling track width and bevel angle of a write pole tip of a magnetic recording head. The method includes establishing the track width in the pole tip layer material utilizing E-beam lithography. A portion of this pole tip material having the established track width is protected by providing a temporary masking material to make a protected portion. At least one unprotected portion is left exposed to be shaped. This unprotected portion is then beveled to produce at least one beveled portion. The protected portion produces an upper pole tip portion which together with the beveled portion produce an improved pole tip. Also disclosed is a magnetic head having the improved pole tip, and a disk drive having a magnetic head having the improved pole tip.

    摘要: A lead overlay design of a magnetic sensor is described with sensor and free layer dimensions such that the free layer is stabilized by the large demagnetization field due to the shape anisotropy. In one embodiment the giant magnetoresistive (GMR) effect under the leads is destroyed by removing the antiferromagnetic (AFM) and pinned layers above the free layer. The overlaid lead pads are deposited on the exposed spacer layer at the sides of the mask that defines the active region. In other embodiment a layer of electrically insulating material is deposited over the sensor to encapsulate it and thereby insulate it from contact with the hardbias structures. Various embodiments with self-aligned leads are also described. In a variation of the encapsulation embodiment, the insulating material is also deposited under the lead pads so the electrical current is channeled through the active region of the sensor and sidewall deposited lead pads.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method for the production of sub-micron structures on magnetic materials using electron beam lithography. A subtractive process is disclosed wherein a portion of a magnetic material layer is removed from the substrate using conventional lithography, and the remaining portion of the magnetic material layer is patterned by e-beam lithography. A additive process is also disclosed wherein a thin magnetic seed layer is deposited on the substrate, a portion of which is removed by conventional lithography and replaced with a non-magnetic conducting layer. The remaining portion of magnetic seed layer is patterned by e-beam lithography and the final magnetic structure produced by electroplating.
