    摘要: A method and apparatus for a recording head using a spin-dependent tunneling (SDT) junction. The SDT junction utilizes an aluminum oxide tunnel barrier. The tunnel barrier can be formed to a thickness comparable with a typical Cu spacer layer on a spin valve. With the SDT junction, current is applied perpendicular to the plane of the film. The SDT junctions can have high magneto-resistance up to 40%. The magnetoresistive qualities of a head design incorporating the SDT junction are not directly related to head resistance, head geometry, bias current and film thickness. The method can include forming a spin tunnel barrier by fashioning a stack into a bottom electrode, defining a junction, depositing a layer of insulator, performing a photoprocess, depositing an upper electrode layer and lifting off the top electrode layer to define the electrode. The stack can include a pinned layer, a barrier layer and a free layer. The pinned layer can include NiFe. The barrier layer can include AlOx. The free layer can include Co. The junction can be defined with an ion mill and the insulator can include Al2O3. In addition, the top electrode layer can include Cu.

    摘要: A method for forming a transducing head first requires the deposition of a bottom shield, a bottom thick gap, a bottom thin gap, a sensor, a first flux guide, a top thin gap, a top thick gap, and a top shield. After each of the layers is deposited, an air bearing portion of both the top and bottom thick gaps is removed, such that a length of the air bearing portion of the top thick gap is substantially equal to a length of the air bearing portion of the bottom thick gap. Next, an air bearing shield is deposited over the air bearing surface, the air bearing shield being in contact with the top and bottom shields, the top and bottom thick gaps, the top and bottom thin gaps, and the flux guide. Finally, the air bearing surface of the transducing head is planarized, resulting in the top and bottom thin gaps and the first flux guide each being exposed at the air bearing surface.

    摘要: A transducer for magnetically reading and writing information is disclosed. The present invention eases the intricate process of wafer thin film deposition and bar lapping by proposing a transducer including a first and second member, both of which perform the reading and writing function of the transducer. The present invention provides a transducer with greatly improved magnetic efficiency by probing the media magnetization directly. The structure is inherently stable due to shape anisotropy of the members and the closure of magnetic flux at the ends of each member.
