    摘要: A magnetoresistive (MR) read sensor fabricated on a substrate comprises an MR layer of magnetoresistive material, a soft adjacent layer (SAL) of soft magnetic material, and a manganese-based metallic antiferromagnetic (AFM) layer between the MR layer and the SAL layer. The AFM layer is in direct contact with the SAL layer and is separated from the MR layer by a non-magnetic spacer layer. A non-magnetic texturing layer is disposed between the SAL layer and the substrate. This structure exhibits a much larger pinning field than read sensors using oxide-based antiferromagnets.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive (MR) read transducer includes an MR sensor element having end regions and a center active region. The end regions are pinned both top and bottom by an exchange coupling antiferromagnetic material. This pinning action causes the end regions to act as permanent magnets having the same remanent magnetic moment M.sub.r as that of the center active region, thereby resulting in suppression of magnetic edge effects in the transducer. A magnetic soft bias layer adjacent to the magnetoresistive sensor element also has its ends pinned by exchange coupling antiferromagnetic material.

    摘要: A read transducer assembly includes a giant magnetoresistive structure in magnetic contact with a multilayered biasing structure that includes layers of antiferromagnetic material interleaved with layers of soft magnetic material. The magnetic exchange coupling between the antiferromagnetic layers and the soft magnetic layers results in a bias field to the giant magnetoresistive structure that reduces or eliminates side reading by the read transducer assembly. The multilayered biasing structure is located adjacent to and in magnetic contact with either the end or the top surfaces of the giant magnetoresistive structure.

    摘要: Magnetoresistive (MR) sensors have leads that overlap a MR structure and distribute current to the MR structure so that the current is not concentrated in small portions of the leads. An electrically resistive capping layer can be formed between the leads and the MR structure to distribute the current. The leads can include resistive layers and conductive layers, the resistive layers having a thickness-to-resistivity ratio that is greater than that of each of the conductive layers. The resistive layers may protect the conductive layers during MR structure etching, so that the leads have broad layers of electrically conductive material for connection to MR structures. The broad leads conduct heat better than the read gap material that they replace, further reducing the temperature at the connection between the leads and the MR structure.

    摘要: Magnetoresistive (MR) sensors are disclosed that have leads with reduced resistance, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensors. The leads have broad layers of highly conductive material for connection to MR structures, as opposed to thin wires of highly conductive material or broad layers of resistive material, lowering the resistance of the leads. The low-resistance leads can be formed without increasing the shield-to-shield spacing, providing highly sensitive and focused MR sensors.

    摘要: A magnetic sensing structure includes a spin valve sensor having a pinned magnetic layer and a free magnetic layer, the direction of magnetization of the free layer varying as a function of the magnetic field applied to the structure. A multilayered magnetic keeper structure is provided to cancel the magnetostatic field from the pinned layer to provide an ideal bias profile for the structure in the absence of an applied magnetic field. Longitudinal magnetic bias may be applied to the spin valve sensor through a contiguous junction magnetic structure adjacent to the keeper structure and spin valve sensor.
