    摘要: A method and system for providing a magnetic transducer is described. The method and system define a magnetoresistive sensor in a track width direction, provide hard bias material(s) adjacent to the sensor in the track width direction, and provide sacrificial capping layer(s) on a portion of the hard bias material(s). The sacrificial capping layer(s) have a first height in a stripe height direction. The method and system also provide a mask for defining a stripe height of the sensor. The mask covers at least part of the sensor and has a second height in the stripe height direction. The second height is less than the first height. The method and system define the stripe height of the sensor while the mask covers the sensor. The sacrificial capping layer(s) are configured to prevent removal of the portion of the hard bias material(s) while the stripe height is defined.

    摘要: A magnetic recording transducer comprises a magnetoresistive sensor having a left side, a right side opposite to the left side, a left junction angle at the left side, a right junction angle at the right side, and a track width. The right junction angle and the left junction angle are characterized by a junction angle difference of not more than six degrees. The track width is less than one hundred nanometers. The magnetic recording transducer further comprises a left hard bias structure residing adjacent to the left side of the magnetoresistive sensor, and a right hard bias structure residing adjacent to the right side of the magnetoresistive sensor.

The method and system include providing a hard mask on the magnetoresistive stack. The hard mask is inorganic and includes a sensor portion and a line frame. The sensor portion covers a first portion of the magnetoresistive stack corresponding to a magnetoresistive structure. The line frame covers a second portion of the magnetoresistive stack in the device region.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a sputter deposition system and to methods of use thereof for processing substrates using planetary sputter deposition methods. The sputter deposition system includes a deposition chamber having an azimuthal axis. A rotatable member is situated in the chamber and includes a plurality of magnetrons provided thereon. Each magnetron includes a corresponding one of a plurality of sputtering targets. The rotatable member is configured to position each of the magnetrons to direct sputtered material from the corresponding one of the sputtering targets to a deposition zone defined in the deposition chamber. A transport mechanism is situated in the deposition chamber and includes an arm rotatable about the azimuthal axis. A substrate holder is attached to the arm of the transport mechanism and supports the substrate as the arm rotates the substrate holder to intersect the deposition zone for depositing sputtered material on the substrate.
