    摘要: A magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording having a write pole with a concave trailing edge. The magnetic write pole can have a trapezoidal shape with first and second laterally opposed sides that are further apart at the trailing edge than at the leading edge. The write head may or may not include a magnetic trailing shield, and if a trailing shield is included it is separated from the trailing edge by a non-magnetic write gap layer. The concave trailing edge improves magnetic performance such as by improving the transition curvature. A method for constructing the write head includes forming a magnetic write pole by forming a mask structure over a deposited write pole material, the mask structure having an alumina hard mask and an image transfer layer such as DURAMIDE®. An alumina fill layer is then deposited and a chemical mechanical polish is performed to open up the image transfer layer. A reactive on etch is performed to remove the image transfer layer and a reactive ion mill or reactive ion etch is performed to remove the alumina hard mask and form a concave surface on the write pole.

    摘要: The invention is a perpendicular magnetic recording write head with a write pole, a trapezoidal-shaped trailing shield notch, and a metal gap layer between the write pole and notch. The write pole has a trailing edge that has a width substantially defining the track width and that faces the front edge of the notch but is spaced from it by the gap layer. The write head is fabricated by a process than includes reactive ion beam etching of a thin mask film above the write pole to remove the mask film and widen the opening at the edges of the write pole. The gap layer and notch are deposited into the widened opening above the write pole. The write pole has nonmagnetic filler material, such as alumina, surrounding it except at its trailing edge, where it is in contact with the gap layer, which is formed of a different material than the surrounding filler material.

    摘要: A method for making a write pole in a perpendicular magnetic recording write head uses a metal mask to pattern the primary resist and only ion milling during the subsequent patterning steps. A layer of primary resist is deposited over the magnetic write pole material and a metal mask layer is deposited on the primary resist layer. An imaging resist layer is formed on the metal mask layer and lithographically patterned generally in the desired shape of the write pole. Ion milling without a reactive gas is then performed over the imaging resist pattern to pattern the underlying metal mask layer, which is then used as the mask to define the shape of the primary resist pattern. Ion milling with oxygen is then performed over the metal mask pattern to pattern the underlying primary resist. Ion milling without a reactive gas is then performed over the primary resist pattern to form the underlying write pole.

    摘要: Write elements and methods of fabricating magnetic write poles are described. For one method, a vertical mask structure is formed on a magnetic layer in locations of a pole tip and a yoke of a write pole. The vertical mask structure may be formed by coating vertical surfaces of resists with an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process or a similar process. A removal process is then performed around the vertical mask structure to define the pole tip and part of the yoke of the write pole, and the vertical mask structure is removed. A lower portion of the pole tip is them masked while the upper portion of the pole tip and the part of the yoke is exposed. The upper portion of the pole tip and the part of the yoke are then expanded with magnetic material, such as with a plating process.

    摘要: A magnetic head for use in a perpendicular recording system having a novel shield structure that provides exceptional magnetic shielding from extraneous magnetic fields such as from a write coil, shaping layer or return pole of the write head. The shield structure is constructed to have a bottom or leading surface that is generally coplanar with the bottom or leading surface of the shaping layer, but all or a portion of the shield structure is not as thick as the shaping layer so as to have a top surface that does not extend to the same elevation (in a trailing direction) as that of the shaping layer. Making the shields extend to a lower level than the shaping layer improves magnetic performance by reducing flux leakage from the write pole, and also provides manufacturing advantages, such as during the manufacturing of the write pole. These manufacturing advantages include the advantage of having the shields covered with a protective layer of, for example, alumina during the ion milling of the write pole.
