摘要： Magnetoresistive (MR) sensors are disclosed having mechanisms for reducing edge effects such as Barkhausen noise. The sensors include a pinned layer and a free layer with an exchange coupling layer adjoining the free layer, and a ferromagnetic layer having a fixed magnetic moment adjoining the exchange coupling layer. The exchange coupling layer and ferromagnetic layer form a synthetic antiferromagnetic structure with part of the free layer, providing bias that reduces magnetic instabilities at edges of the free layer. Such synthetic antiferromagnetic structures can provide a stronger bias than conventional antiferromagnetic layers, as well as a more exactly defined track width than conventional hard magnetic bias layers. The synthetic antiferromagnetic structures can also provide protection for the free layer during processing, in contrast with the trimming of conventional antiferromagnetic layers that exposes if not removes part of the free layer.

摘要： A writer pole for perpendicular recording and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The writer pole comprises a laminated structure of a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a non-magnetic amorphous metal spacer layer disposed between the first and second magnetic layers. Additional ferromagnetic and non-magnetic layers can be added, in an alternating fashion, to produce other laminated structures. Forming a perpendicular writer element includes forming a first magnetic layer, forming a spacer layer on the first magnetic layer, and forming a second magnetic layer on the spacer layer. Forming the perpendicular writer element can further include trimming the writer pole.

摘要： A method and system for fabricating a perpendicular magnetic recording head, and the head so formed, are described. The method includes depositing an underlayer directly on an insulating layer. The underlayer preferably includes at least one of a nonferromagnetic metal, silicon oxide, and silicon nitride. A pole layer, which has a pole removal rate, is provided on the underlayer. The method and system further include forming a perpendicular magnetic recording pole from the pole layer. The perpendicular magnetic recording pole has a top and a bottom that is narrower than the top. The process of forming the perpendicular magnetic recording pole further includes removing a portion of the pole layer such that a pole removal rate for the pole layer is less than or substantially equal to a removal rate of the underlayer during the removing step.
