摘要:
An interconnect between the write driver and the write head in a magnetic recording disk drive enables an inherent write current overshoot. The interconnect includes an integrated lead suspension (ILS) and a short flex cable that connects the write driver circuitry to the ILS. The interconnect is a two-segment transmission line, with the first segment connected to the write driver having multiple sub-segments or sections with non-uniform impedance levels. The section of the first segment that connects to the write driver is the short flex cable and has an impedance substantially higher than the source impedance ZWD of the write driver. The multiple sections of the first segment have non-uniform impedance values that have an effective impedance Z01-eff that substantially matches ZWD. The second segment of the transmission line has an effective impedance Z02-eff that is substantially less than Z01-eff. The write lines for the +W and −W signals are preferably interleaved on the transmission line sections.

A perpendicular magnetic recording write head that a write pole, an electrically conductive coil coupled to the write pole for generating magnetic flux in the write pole in the presence of electrical write current, and a spin torque oscillator (STO) that injects auxiliary magnetic flux to the write pole in a direction generally orthogonal to the write pole to facilitate magnetization switching of the write pole. The STO comprises a stack of layers including electrodes, a pinned ferromagnetic layer having a fixed, a free ferromagnetic layer having a magnetization free to rotate, and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the pinned and free layers. The free layer may be oriented either substantially orthogonal to the write pole or substantially parallel to the write pole, in which latter embodiment a flux guide may be located between the free layer and the write pole for directing the auxiliary magnetic flux from the free layer to the write pole.

摘要:
A perpendicular magnetic recording system has a write head having a main helical coil (the write coil) and main pole (the write pole) that directs write flux in a direction perpendicular to the recording layer in the magnetic recording medium, and an auxiliary coil and auxiliary pole that injects magnetic flux into the write pole at an angle to the primary or perpendicular axis of the write pole. The auxiliary coil is preferably a helical coil wrapped around the auxiliary pole. The additional flux from the auxiliary pole, which is injected non-parallel to the primary magnetization of the write pole, exerts a relatively large torque on the magnetization of the write pole, thereby facilitating magnetization reversal of the write pole. Electrical circuitry is connected to the main coil and the auxiliary coil to generate the auxiliary flux simultaneous with the switching of the magnetization of the write pole.

A perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) disk used in energy assisted magnetic recording drives is described. The PMR disk includes a substrate, a magnetic recording layer disposed above the substrate, an exchange coupling layer disposed above the magnetic recording layer, and a capping layer disposed above the exchange coupling layer. The capping layer has a Curie temperature greater than the Curie temperature of the magnetic recording layer.

A method for selectively choosing the magnetic properties of a sputter deposited recording layer of a magnetic recording medium comprises sputtering a target of metal underlayer material onto a substrate to deposit an underlayer film and selectively collimating the sputtered underlayer particles to vary the arrival energy and angular distribution of the sputter particles striking the substrate to selectively establish the orientation of the crystals making up the underlayer film. A magnetic metal film is then sputter deposited upon the underlayer film to form a magnetic recording layer, the magnetic metal film having a crystal texture and recording properties affected by the orientation of the crystals in the underlayer film. The magnetic properties of the magnetic recording layer are chosen by selectively collimating while sputter depositing the underlayer material. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, both the underlayer film and the magnetic metal recording film are selectively collimated when deposited upon the substrate. A still further embodiment of the invention includes selectively collimating only the magnetic metal recording film.
