摘要： Methods for fabricating magnetic sensor heads using a CMP defined hard bias to fabricate a magnetic sensor head reader with a flat reader gap. The method comprises defining a read sensor of the magnetic sensor head. The method further comprises depositing an insulator layer on the read sensor. The method further comprises performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process down to a protective layer on the read sensor deposited while defining the read sensor to remove an overfill portion of the hard bias layer above the protective layer and to remove a sensor pattern masking layer above the protective layer.

摘要： Read elements and associated methods of fabrication are disclosed. During fabrication of the read element, and more particularly, the fabrication of the hard bias magnets, a non-magnetic sacrificial layer is deposited on top of the hard bias material. When a CMP process is subsequently performed, the sacrificial layer is polished instead of the hard bias material. The thicknesses of the hard bias magnets are not affected by the CMP process, but are rather defined by the deposition process of the hard bias material. As a result, the variations in the CMP process will not negatively affect the magnetic properties of the hard bias magnets so that they are able to provide substantially uniform effective magnetic fields to bias the free layer of the magnetoresistance (MR) sensor of the read element.
