摘要： A write head structure for perpendicular recording having a pole tip integrated into the metal film surrounding a C aperture near field light source is disclosed. The close proximity of the pole tip to the light source enables more precise location of data cells written into the magnetic media, through the use of dual gradient thermally assisted recording. In dual gradient recording, data is fixed by the effect of both a thermal gradient, which affects the coercivity of the magnetic media, combined with a magnetic field gradient imposed by the pole tip.

摘要： A magnetic head (slider) which requires no lapping is described. The head is fabricated with an air bearing surface that is parallel to the wafer surface. The saw cuts used to separate the individual sliders from the rest of the wafer are perpendicular to the air-bearing surface and do not pass through any critical features. The read and write components are formed from thin films disposed parallel to the air bearing surface and can be side-by-side or tandem in relation to the recording track. The stripe height of the read sensor is controlled by the deposition process rather than by lapping. Various embodiments of the read head include contiguous junction biasing, external hard magnet biasing, and in-stack biasing. In one embodiment a permeable field collector is included below the sensor layer structure. An aperture shield surrounding the sensor at the ABS is included in one embodiment.

摘要： Current-perpendicular-to-the-plane (CPP), current-in-to-the-plane (CIP), and tunnel valve type sensors are provided having an antiparallel (AP) coupled free layer structure, an in-stack biasing structure which stabilizes the AP coupled free layer structure and a nonmagnetic spacer layer formed between the in-stack biasing layer and the AP coupled free layer structure. The AP coupled free layer structure has a first AP coupled free layer adjacent to the nonmagnetic spacer layer, a second AP coupled free layer, and an antiparallel coupling (APC) layer formed between the first and the second AP coupled free layers. The net moment of the AP coupled free layer structure has an antiparallel edge magnetostatic coupling with the in-stack biasing structure. At the same time, the first AP coupled free layer has an antiparallel exchange coupling with the second AP coupled free layer. By forming the second AP coupled free layer with a thickness greater than a thickness of the first AP coupled free layer, the AP coupled free layer structure has a net magnetic moment in the direction of the second AP coupled free layer moment. The non-magnetic spacer layer is chosen so that first AP coupled free layer has a parallel interlayer (Neel or Orange-peel or positive exchange) coupling with the in-stack biasing structure, so that the interlayer coupling adds to the edge magnetostatic coupling to increase a stability of the AP coupled free layer structure.

摘要： An extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) sensor has a planar shunt and planar leads formed on top of the sensor and extending downward into the semiconductor active region, resulting. Electrically conductive material, such as Au or AuGe, is first deposited into lithographically defined windows on top of the sensor. After liftoff of the photoresist a rapid thermal annealing process causes the conductive material to diffuse downward into the semiconductor material and make electrical contact with the active region. The outline of the sensor is defined by reactive etching or other suitable etching techniques. Insulating backfilling material such as Al-oxide is deposited to protect the EMR sensor and the edges of the active region. Chemical mechanical polishing of the structure results in a planar sensor that does not have exposed active region edges.

摘要： A current-in-the-plane (CIP) giant magnetoresistive (GMR) spin valve sensor has its free layer magnetization stabilized by longitudinal biasing through the use of free layer end-region antiferromagnetic exchange coupling. An antiparallel coupling (APC) layer, such as Ru, is formed on the free layer and a ferromagnetic bias layer is formed on the APC layer. The bias layer is a continuous layer that extends across the entire width of the free layer. The central region of the bias layer is formed of nonmagnetic oxides of one or more of the elements making up the bias layer, with the bias layer end regions remaining ferromagnetic. The oxidized central region of the bias layer defines the central active track-width region of the underlying free layer. The ferromagnetic end regions of the bias layer are antiferromagnetically coupled across the APC layer to the corresponding underlying free layer end regions to provide the longitudinal biasing.

摘要： A current-perpendicular-to-the-plane (CPP) magnetoresistive sensor or read head has a magnetic shield geometry that covers the side walls of the sensor structure to prevent side reading caused by magnetic flux entering from adjacent data tracks. The shield geometry includes a bottom shield with a substantially planar surface and a specially shaped top shield. The top shield has substantially vertical portions generally parallel to the side walls of the sensor structure, a horizontal top portion over the trackwidth region of the sensor, and horizontal side portions formed over the portions of the bottom shield on either side of the sensor structure. The insulating gap material that separates the bottom and top shields is in contact with the horizontal portions of the bottom shield and the side walls of the sensor structure.

摘要： A magnetoresistive read sensor based on the spin valve effect in which a component of the read element resistance varies as the cosine of the angle between the magnetization directions in two adjacent magnetic layers is described. The sensor read element includes two adjacent ferromagnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic metallic layer, the magnetic easy axis of each of the ferromagnetic layers being aligned along the longitudinal axis of the ferromagnetic layers and perpendicular to the trackwidth of an adjacent magnetic storage medium. The sense current flowing in the sensor element generates a bias field which sets the direction of magnetization in each ferromagnetic layer at an equal, but opposite, angle .theta. with respect to the magnetic easy axis thus providing an angular separation of 2.theta. in the absence of an applied magnetic signal. The magnetizations of both ferromagnetic layers are responsive to an applied magnetic field to change their angular separation by an amount 2.delta..theta..

摘要： Magnetic bubble domain memory circuit in which magnetizable overlay patterns of magnetically soft material, e.g. permalloy, are provided as bubble propagation elements on a bubble-supporting magnetic layer to define major and minor bubble propagation paths. The bubble propagation elements are arranged to form major propagation paths defining a bubble input section and a bubble output section respectively. A plurality of minor propagation paths in the form of closed storage loops defining a bubble storage section are disposed between the input and output bubble sections, being arranged in even and odd blocks of minor propagation paths. Input swap transfer gates and output replicate gates are provided between the bubble storage loops and the input and output sections respectively. The input swap transfer gates and the output replicate gates are of double level construction, each type of gate including a hairpin element at the first level and a 90.degree. hook-like element at the second level which is correlated into bubble propagation elements included in a minor storage loop. The 90.degree. hook-like elements of corresponding swap transfer and replicate gates are respectively situated at the input and output ends of the minor storage loops, forming the opposite bights of the loop. Bubble generators and detectors are associated with the input and output bubble sections respectively at the opposite ends of the minor storage loops to provide a magnetic bubble domain memory chip for data processing purposes. Data as represented by the presence or absence of a magnetic bubble is transferred into the minor storage loops and replicated outwardly therefrom into the bubble output section for detection in a manner enabling such data to be received by the bubble detector for readout at the field rate.
