摘要： A method of making a perpendicular magnetic recording head for use in a data storage device includes forming a first pole layer, a second pole layer, a third pole layer, and a shield layer of a write section. The first pole layer, second pole layer, third pole layer, and shield layer are formed without using a chemical mechanical polishing process. The method next includes concurrently trimming the shield layer and a write pole that is defined by the third pole layer to a predetermined track width. In the trimming step, the shield layer is used as a mask for the write pole.

摘要： A magnetic head for writing information on a relatively-moving medium has a pair of substantially flat soft magnetic pole layers separated by a pair of coil layers. A soft magnetic pedestal adjoins the leading pole layer adjacent to a medium-facing surface and is spaced from the second pole layer by a nanoscale nonferromagnetic gap, the pedestal having a layer of high magnetic saturation material that defines a throat height and extends beyond the throat height. A second high magnetic saturation material adjoins the trailing pole layer and either terminates at the throat height to form a second pedestal or extends to reach a magnetic backgap structure that magnetically couples the pole layers. The MR sensor can be located closer than the write transducer to the trailing end of the head to reduce separation between the read transducer and the write transducer.

摘要： A magnetic head for writing information on a relatively-moving medium includes a first substantially flat soft magnetic pole layer and a second substantially flat pole layer with at least one coil layer between them. The pole layers are magnetically coupled in a core region and spaced by more than one micron from one other. A soft magnetic pedestal adjoins the first pole layer adjacent to a medium-facing surface of the head, and a first high magnetic saturation layer adjoins the pedestal. A second high magnetic saturation layer adjoins the second pole layer. The first high magnetic saturation layer has a first throat height and the second high magnetic saturation layer extends from the medium-facing surface only to a second throat height. The first and second throat heights are within about one and one-half microns from the medium-facing surface and are essentially equal.

摘要： A read/write head for use in a data storage device to control the low dynamic flying height in order to achieve high data recording storage capacity of magnetic hard drives. The read/write head is designed for use in a data storage device that includes a storage medium having a recording surface. The head comprises a pole tip region and an actuator. In turn, the actuator includes an excitation source for generating a magnetic field, and a magnetostrictive plate for expanding in response to the magnetic field, resulting in a protrusion in a section of the pole tip region along a direction towards the recording surface, so that the head flies above the recording surface at a flying height lower than a nominal flying height.

摘要： A magnetic head for writing information on perpendicular media has a write pole tip and a return pole tip with a media-facing area at least two orders of magnitude greater than that of the write pole tip, the return pole tip is spaced from a trailing corner of the write pole tip by a submicron nonferromagnetic gap. Magnetic flux emanating from the write pole tip is strongest adjacent the trailing corner and directed at an angle that is not perpendicular to the write pole tip. The angled flux provides increased torque to rotate magnetic dipoles in the adjacent media layer that are oriented substantially perpendicular to the disk surface. The media may have a soft magnetic underlayer that is spaced from the write pole tip by a distance similar to the gap spacing.
