    摘要: A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head having a stepped trailing shield. The stepped trailing shield is formed by forming a non-magnetic bump over a write pole prior to electroplating a wrap-around magnetic shield. The method allows the location of the front edge of the bump relative to the back edge of the wrap-around shield to be monitored by measuring the electrical resistance of an electrical lapping guide formed concurrently with these features. This concurrent formation of a lapping guide can be used to define the relative location of other features as well, such as the location of a back edge of a wrap-around shield relative to a flare point of a write pole.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording. The method provides for accurate definition of a device feature such as a write pole flare point. A functional lapping guide is formed to determine when a lapping operation should be terminated to define an air bearing surface of a slider. In order to provide accurate compensation for manufacturing variations in the functional lapping guide, a dummy lapping guide is provided. An amount of variation of a front edge of the dummy lapping guide, which is defined by the same process step as a writer pole flare point, can be calculated by measuring the width (stripe height) of the dummy lapping guide based on its electrical resistance. Since the back edges of the dummy lapping guide and functional lapping guide are defined by the same manufacturing steps, the back edge of the functional lapping guide can then be determined, and used for accurately control of the writer flare point through their correlation established from the dummy lapping guide.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording. The method allows the write head to be formed with a write pole having a concave trailing edge. The method further allows the amount of concavity of the trailing edge to be accurately and carefully controlled both within a wafer and between wafers. A write pole is formed using a mask that includes a hard mask, a RIEable layer and an endpoint detection layer. A layer of non-magnetic material (ALD layer) is deposited, and then, an ion milling process is used to remove a portion of the ALD layer disposed over the write pole and mask. A reactive ion etch process is performed to remove the RIEable layer leaving the ALD layer to form non-magnetic side walls with upper portions that extend above the write pole. Another ion milling is then performed, preferably at an angle relative to normal, such that shadowing from the upper portions of the non-magnetic side walls causes the ion milling to form the write pole with a concave trailing edge.

    摘要: A magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording having a write pole with a concave trailing edge. The magnetic write pole can have a trapezoidal shape with first and second laterally opposed sides that are further apart at the trailing edge than at the leading edge. The write head may or may not include a magnetic trailing shield, and if a trailing shield is included it is separated from the trailing edge by a non-magnetic write gap layer. The concave trailing edge improves magnetic performance such as by improving the transition curvature. A method for constructing the write head includes forming a magnetic write pole by forming a mask structure over a deposited write pole material, the mask structure having an alumina hard mask and an image transfer layer such as DURAMIDE®. An alumina fill layer is then deposited and a chemical mechanical polish is performed to open up the image transfer layer. A reactive on etch is performed to remove the image transfer layer and a reactive ion mill or reactive ion etch is performed to remove the alumina hard mask and form a concave surface on the write pole.

    摘要: A magnetic write head for perpendicular magnetic recording that has write pole, a return pole and a trailing shield that is magnetically connected with magnetic return pole. The write head includes a magnetic pedestal and first and second magnetic studs that connect the trailing shield with the pedestal. The studs are laterally spaced a distance that is not greater than 5 um from the nearest side of the write pole. In other words, the studs are spaced from each other a distance that is no greater than the width of the leading edge of the write pole plus 10 um. This spacing of the studs prevents saturation of the trailing shield, maximizing field gradient and ensuring optimal magnetic write performance.
