    摘要: An apparatus for patterning a self-aligned coil using a damascene process is disclosed. Coil pockets are formed in a first insulation layer disposed over a first pole layer. A barrier/seed layer is deposited along walls of the coil pockets in the insulation layer. Copper is formed in the coil pockets and over the insulation layer. The copper is planarized down to the insulation layer. The self-aligned coil process packs more copper into the same coil pocket and relaxes the coil alignment tolerance. Protrusions are prevented because of the more efficient and uniform spacing of the coil to reduce heat buildup in the head during a write.

    摘要: The method of making a magnetic head assembly includes forming a second pole piece layer that is recessed from a head surface, forming a reactive ion etchable (RIEable) pole tip forming layer on the second pole piece layer, forming an adhesion/stop layer of tantalum (Ta) on the pole tip forming layer, forming a photoresist mask on the adhesion/stop layer with an opening for patterning the adhesion/stop layer and the pole tip forming layer with another opening, reactive ion etching (RIE) through the opening to form the other opening, forming the second pole piece pole tip in the other opening with a top which is above a top of the adhesion/stop layer and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) the top of the second pole piece pole tip until the CMP contacts the adhesion/stop layer. The invention also includes the magnetic head made by such a process.

    摘要: A perpendicular recording write head has ferromagnetic first and second pole pieces which are connected at a back gap and an insulation stack with a write coil layer embedded therein is located between the first and second pole pieces and between a head surface of the write head and the back gap. The second pole piece has a pole tip which is located at the head surface and a recessed ferromagnetic write shield layer. A nonmagnetic isolation layer is located between the second pole piece and the write shield layer and at least one ferromagnetic stud is magnetically connected between the first pole piece layer and the write shield layer and is located between the head surface and the insulation stack.
