摘要:
A novel thin film magnetic head fabrication process is provided for fabricating a plurality of thin film magnetic head elements. The process begins with the selection of an appropriate wafer substrate of suitable size and quality. At least two primary sub-areas of the wafer substrate are designated as work areas for the deposition of magnetic recording transducer elements. The work areas have first and second end portions and are arranged in mutually adjacent relation along a shared boundary zone that extends in a first direction through the wafer substrate between the first and second end portions. The wafer substrate is populated with plural rows of magnetic recording transducer elements in the designated work areas such that the plural rows extend in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The work areas are separated from the wafer substrate and magnetic transducer slider elements are fabricated from the plural rows of magnetic recording transducer elements. The process steps are such that they reduce the number of fabrication steps to a minimum while increasing the consistency of throat and stripe heights.
摘要:
A lapping control system for a row of thin film magnetic transducers formed on a substrate. Each of the magnetic transducers comprises a magnetoresistive (MR) element, and the row is supported on a holder which has an elongated H-shaped slot near one edge to form a beam member upon which the row is mounted. The beam member is capable of being deflected in a substantially quadratic curvature when subjected to pressure from a pressure transducer at the middle of the beam member. The resistance of each of the MR elements is measured during lapping, and a control signal is generated to control the pressure transducers to control lapping with proper BALANCE and BOW and to terminate lapping when the desired MR element height is reached.

A tape head read/write module that has a composite air bearing surface, and a method and apparatus for embedding a chip in a substrate to form a composite air bearing surface. An example of the module includes a substrate that has an air bearing surface, a front, a back, and a chip receiving slot. The air bearing surface of the substrate has a first portion adjoining a first side of the chip receiving slot, and a second portion adjoining a second side of the chip receiving slot. The module also includes a chip that has an air bearing surface, a bottom surface, a front, a back, and active elements. The active elements are located proximate the front of the chip. The chip is positioned in the chip receiving slot in the substrate, with the air bearing surface of the chip substantially aligned with the air bearing surface of the substrate.
摘要:
A method for making a magnetic head slider comprising the steps of lapping the slider to form an air bearing surface, producing a chosen pattern of rails on the air bearing surface, and producing a chosen pattern of stress on the back side of the slider to remove the distortion produced in the slider by the lapping and rail formation steps. The stress pattern can be chosen to produce any desired range of crown and camber for the slider.

摘要:
A method and mechanism for slicing a thin film wafer. A closure is bonded to a section of a thin film wafer. A blade is used to slice a row from the section of the wafer by cutting through the closure and thin film wafer such that opposite sides of the blade engage an equal surface area of the closure.
