    摘要: A thin film magnetic read/write head is manufactured using Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 dams. The Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 dams are formed using a sacrificial layer which is deposited upon a bottom pole layer. An Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer is deposited over the sacrificial layer. When the sacrificial layer is removed, the Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer forms dams between which a top pole piece is deposited. The sacrificial layer is removed using lapping and a selected chemical etch; partial lapping or chemical etch followed by chemical etch of the sacrificial layer which lifts-off overlying Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 ; depositing photoresist dams and chemically etching the encapsulation layer and the sacrificial layer; or removal through physical or thermal shock of the Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer sputtered at zero bias followed by a selective chemical etch of the sacrificial layer. The thin film magnetic head of the present invention has pole tips which provide an outside pole face contour that is significantly different from a pole tip contour along a gap region. This reduces an undershoot effect in readback pulses in a readback signal. The altered contour can be used on both top and bottom pole tips to eliminate both leading and trailing undershoots. Additionally, in shielded probe heads for vertical recording a gap region contour can be altered to achieve a similar reduction in leading undershoot.

An Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer is deposited over the sacrificial layer. When the sacrificial layer is removed, the Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer forms dams between which a top pole piece is deposited. The sacrificial layer is removed using lapping and a selected chemical etch; etch of the sacrificial layer which lifts-off overlying partial lapping or chemical etch followed by chemical Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 ; depositing photoresist dams and chemically, etching the encapsulation layer and the sacrificial layer; or removal through physical or thermal shock of the Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer sputtered at zero bias followed by a selective chemical etch of the sacrificial layer. The thin film magnetic head of the present invention has pole tips which provide an outside pole face contour that is significantly different from a pole tip contour along a gap region. This reduces an undershoot effect in readback pulses in a readback signal. The altered contour can be used on both top and bottom pole tips to eliminate both leading and trailing undershoots. Additionally, in shielded probe heads for vertical recording a gap region contour can be altered to achieve a similar reduction in leading undershoot.

    摘要: A thin film magnetic read/write head deposited upon a non-magnetic substrate reduces leading edge undershoots in readback pulse signal. A magnetic layer is deposited between the thin film magnetic read/write head and the non-magnetic substrate. Undershoots are reduced by making the leading edge of the thin film head less sensitive to the magnetization transitions in a magnetic storage medium.

    摘要: A servo head in a disk file data storage system includes at least one shield which acts to block radiation emanating from a nearby data head and thus reduce noise induced in the servo head. The shield is located on either side of an essentially flat conducting coil in a servo transducer, or a data transducer or both. The shield may be either a single layer of material or multiple layers.

    摘要: An electrical lap guide (ELG) system and method are disclosed for use in lapping a bar 10 of magnetic transducer carrying sliders to a desired transducer height. A first ELG ELG1 contained within the bar has at least two first ELG resistive elements R.sub.11 and R.sub.12. A second ELG ELG 2 contained within the bar has at least two second ELG resistive elements R.sub.21 and R.sub.23. A first of the at least two first ELG resistive elements is electrically coupled to a first of the at least two second ELG resistive elements to thereby reduce a total number of leads needed between a data acquisition unit 100 and the bar 10 during lapping. The reduction in required data acquisition unit 100 leads allow more ELGs to be included on each bar 10 in order to more accurately control the lapping process.

    摘要: A thin film magnetic head includes a slider having a first air bearing surface and a second surface made of a layer of an insulating material. The second surface has a first aperture formed in the insulating layer to expose a portion of the slider below the second surface layer. A reading/writing transducer is provided in the slider adjacent to the air bearing surface and has a first connecting link extending within the slider so that an end of the first link is exposed within the first aperture of the second surface layer. A first bond pad extends on the second surface of the slider and within the first aperture of the second surface layer. The first bond pad is electrically connected to the exposed end of the first link of the read/write transducer within the first aperture of the second surface layer.
