    摘要: An arbitrary gap thin film magnetic recording head is fabricated by forming a substrate based on traditional vertical planar thin film head wafer technology which is designed to produce an integrated subgap and subpole substrate structure. The wafer is then processed into row bars to reveal, in a plane parallel to the transducing direction of the medium, the subgap and subpoles at the surface of the row bar and to bring the structure to a certain coil depth or gap depth. A flat or cylindrical contour may be utilized.This thin film subgap row bar is taken through a film deposition or growth process that deposits the magnetic film on a plane perpendicular to the wafer plane, horizontal planar processing, forming a surface film recording head where an arbitrary gap structure can be made in-between the subpoles and generally directly on top of the subgap. The surface thin film is deposited and patterned on the tape bearing surface of the head to optimize various element configurations, gap patterns and head-to-tape medium contact.An arbitrary gap thin film magnetic recording head is manufactured using two major thin film processing planes, one orthogonal to the other, the first major plane is wafer level and the second major plane is sub-wafer level and perpendicular to the first. The first major plane of processing defines the magnetically active substrate including coils, subgap and subpole members. The second major plane of processing defines the surface film which transmits the flux from the subpoles to the gap features contained in the surface film.This resulting structure is a recording head that is wired to the servo system electronics and will format the tape with the arbitrary gap pattern.

    摘要: The present invention relates to direct current (“DC”) pre-erasing servo channels of a magnetic tape prior to writing servo data in a servo channel. The present invention particularly relates to those servo recordings which were written with a uni-polar current waveform. The DC pre-erase is performed using a uni-polar direct current of a polarity that is opposite to the polarity of the direct current used to write the servo data. This pre-erase may be done with one or more heads. Also, as will be described, the pre-erase of a servo channel and writing to a servo channel may be done by making two passes over a single head or by using two or more heads to perform both steps. Also, it is within the scope of the present invention to have the heads mounted on a single mount or have the heads on separate mounts and on separate tape decks.

    摘要: A method of recording servo information includes writing servo information in a data storage medium using a compound magnetic recording head. The compound magnetic recording head has a substrate including first and second magnetically permeable substrate portions and a substantially non-magnetic member interposed between the first and second magnetically permeable substrate portions. A magnetically permeable layer is provided over the first and second magnetically permeable substrate portions of the substrate and includes first and second writing gap features associated with the first and second substrate portions. The writing gap features are formed using a patterned mask layer over the magnetically permeable layer, wherein the patterned mask layer comprises first and second patterned gap features corresponding to the first and second writing gap features.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of synthesizing the slanted transitions in a time based servo pattern using servo write gaps that are perpendicular to the tape motion. The present invention particularly relates to a method of writing a servo pattern on magnetic tape so as to minimize errors in the servo pattern. The slanted transitions in a time-based servo pattern are synthesized using servo write gaps that are perpendicular to the tape motion. The slanted portions of the write gaps are synthesized by a series of short segmented vertical and horizontal segments. In so minimizing errors, distortion in the reading and/or writing of the data tracks can be prevented.

    摘要: The present invention relates to apparatuses and methods used in manufacturing magnetic tape. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of writing a servo pattern on magnetic tape so as to minimize errors in the servo pattern, the heads used to write such servo data, and the magnetic tape manufactured with such heads. Errors in the servo pattern may be minimized by synthesizing the slanted transitions in a time based servo pattern using servo write gaps that are perpendicular to the tape motion. In so minimizing errors, distortion in the reading and/or writing of the data tracks can be prevented.
