摘要： A method and system for providing an energy assisted magnetic recording (EAMR) transducer coupled with a laser are described. The EAMR transducer has an air-bearing surface (ABS) residing in proximity to a media during use. The method and system include providing waveguide(s), a near-field transducer (NFT), write pole(s), and coil(s). The waveguide(s) direct energy from the laser toward the ABS. The NFT is coupled with the waveguide and focuses the energy onto the media. The write pole(s) include a stitch for providing a magnetic field to the media and a yoke coupled to the stitch. The stitch includes an ABS-facing surface, a sloped surface, and an NFT-facing surface between the ABS-facing and sloped surfaces. The NFT-facing surface is substantially parallel to the NFT. The sloped surface is sloped at least twenty-five and not more than sixty-five degrees with respect to the NFT-facing surface. The coil(s) energize the write pole(s).

摘要： An energy assisted magnetic recording (EAMR) transducer coupled with a laser is described. The EAMR transducer has an air-bearing surface (ABS) residing near a media during use. The EAMR transducer includes optical and writer modules. The optical module includes a waveguide and a near field transducer (NFT). The waveguide directs the energy from the laser toward the ABS. The NFT focuses the energy onto the media. The optical and writer modules are physically separate such that no portion of the waveguide is interleaved with a magnetic portion of the writer module. The writer module includes a write pole and coil(s). The write pole includes a pole-tip portion for providing a magnetic field to the media and a yoke. The pole-tip portion has an ABS-facing surface, a sloped surface, and a NFT-facing surface therebetween. The sloped surface is at least twenty-five and not more than sixty-five degrees from the NFT-facing surface.

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.
