    摘要: A magnetic head having read and write elements is provided according to one embodiment. The head includes a substrate. An undercoating is coupled to the substrate. The undercoating has a preferred thickness of between about 1.5 and 0.5 microns or less in a direction perpendicular to the planar surface of the substrate engaging the undercoating. Preferably, the undercoating is reduced to a desired thickness during fabrication using chemical mechanical polishing. The undercoating is constructed of a material having a thermal conductivity greater than that of amorphous Al2O3. An electric contact pad is operatively coupled to a layer positioned between the pad and the undercoating. Electric contact pads of read and write elements are preferably separated from the undercoating by insulation planarization layers. A write element is coupled to the undercoating. The write element has an electrically conductive coil. The new thinner and more thermally conductive undercoating allows more heat to transfer through it from the write element to the substrate.

    摘要: The reconfiguration of a magnetic write head minimizes cracking at the ABS. This is accomplished by selectively reconfiguring the front edge of the insulation layer that defines the zero throat height (ZTH) so as to increase the volume of the overcoat layer which interfaces with the reconfigured edge. The front edge of the ZTH-defining insulation layer has a central portion which is centered with respect to the second pole tip and first and second lateral portions which are on each side of the front portion and parallel to the ABS. The front edge portion is recessed from the ABS a distance appropriate for defining the ZTH between the first and second pole pieces of the write head. The first and second lateral edges are further recessed into the head so as to increase the volume of the overcoat layer between the ABS and the first and second lateral edges. The increased volume of the overcoat layer better absorbs stresses and strains due to shock loading and temperature so as to reduce cracking of the head at the ABS.

    摘要: In a first aspect a slurry is provided for chemically mechanically polishing alumina and nickel iron to a common plane and in a second aspect a slurry is provided for additionally chemically mechanically polishing copper to a common plane. The slurry includes a first concentration of colloidal silica, a second concentration of potassium and/or sodium persulfate and a third concentration of ammonium persulfate. In the first aspect the first and second concentrations are tailored to chemically mechanically polish the alumina and the nickel iron at the same rate to a common plane and in the second aspect the slurry includes a third concentration of ammonium persulfate at a proper ratio to the potassium or sodium persulfate to chemically mechanically polish the copper at the same rate as the other materials to the same plane.

    摘要: A method for removing a thin metallic layer using an etchant solution is provided for essentially eliminating undercutting in a thin metallic layer such as a seed layer in a magnetic recording head. The etchant solution has a suitable solvent additive such as glycerol or methyl cellulose. With suitable solvent additives, which generally increase solvent viscosity, lateral etching rates are similar to surface etch rates and undercutting is essentially eliminated.
