摘要： Formation of the magnetic sensor layers of a magnetic sensor are separated into at least two depositions to reduce the dimension of the sensor. The free layer portion of the sensor is deposited at a different process step than the pinned layer portion. The top of the free layer stack can be a tunnel barrier, the free layer, or part of the free layer. The free layer stack also may contain an in-stack bias layer. The longitudinal bias layer may be patterned in a separate processing step, which allows the stack containing the free layer to be effectively thinner and allow smaller track width dimensions.

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： 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： In one illustrative example, a three terminal magnetic sensor (TTM) suitable for use in a magnetic head has a sensor stack structure which includes a base region, a collector region, and an emitter region. A first barrier layer separates the emitter region from the base region, and a second barrier layer separates the collector region from the base region. A plurality of terminals of the TTM include a base lead coupled to the base region, a collector lead coupled to the collector region, and an emitter lead coupled to the emitter region. Preferably, the base region consists of a free layer structure so as to have a relatively small thickness. A pinned layer structure is made part of the emitter region. An in-stack longitudinal biasing layer (LBL) structure is formed in stack with the sensor stack structure and has a magnetic moment that is parallel to a sensing plane of the TTM for magnetically biasing the free layer structure. The in-stack LBL structure is made part of the collector region which also includes a layer of semiconductor material. In one variation, the emitter region has the in-stack LBL structure and the collector region has the pinned layer structure. The TTM may comprise a spin valve transistor (SVT), a magnetic tunnel transistor (MTT), or a double junction structure.

摘要： Three terminal magnetic sensing devices (TTMs) having base lead layers in-plane with collector substrate materials, and methods of making the same, are disclosed. In one illustrative example, a collector substrate having an elevated region and a recessed region adjacent the elevated region is provided. An insulator layer is formed in full-film over the collector substrate, and a base lead layer is formed in full-film over the insulator layer and in-plane with semiconductor materials of the elevated region. The insulator materials and the base lead materials that are formed over the elevated region are removed. A sensor stack structure having an emitter region and a base region is then formed over the elevated region such that part of the base region is formed over an end of the base lead layer. A base conductive via may be formed to contact base lead materials of the base lead layer at a suitable distance away from the sensor stack structure. Advantageously, the base conductive via formation may occur without causing damage to the sensor stack structure. Also, the base lead layer is formed in the recessed region of the collector substrate prior to the formation of the sensor stack structure such that the TTM may be entirely in-situ manufactured. Furthermore, the trackwidth of the TTM may be defined directly by the elevated region of the collector substrate. The TTM is suitable for incorporation into nanoscale devices which increase areal recording densities, therefore aiding the revolution in magnetic storage.

Thereafter, write head components, such as write head induction coils and/or a P1 pole pedestal are fabricated above the heating device, and the sacrificial layer is substantially consumed in protecting the heating device during the aggressive etching and milling steps used to create those components.
