摘要： A magnetoresistive sensor which includes an element having a first layer that exhibits a magnetoresistive response, a second layer that magnetically biases the first layer and is in contact therewith, and possibly a substrate that contacts the first layer, with the first layer disposed between the second layer and the substrate. Of course, the first and second layers are interchangeable. Adjoining a side of the second layer is an anode contact and a cathode contact. The anode contact and the cathode contact are positioned on the side of the second layer such that they do not contact each other.

摘要： A hard disk drive head operates in close proximity and dynamic contact with a rapidly spinning rigid disk surface, the head including a transducer with a magnetically permeable path between a poletip disposed adjacent to the disk surface and a magnetoresistive (MR) sensor situated outside the range of thermal noise generated by the surface contact. The magnetically permeable path is the same as that used to write data to the disk, eliminating errors that occur in conventional transducers having MR sensors at a separate location from the writing poletips. Moreover, the magnetically permeable path is preferably formed in a low profile, highly efficient “planar” loop that allows for manufacturing tolerances in throat height and wear of the terminal poletips from disk contact without poletip saturation or poletip smearing. The MR layer is formed in one of the first manufacturing steps atop the substrate, so that the MR layer has a relatively uniform planar template that is free from contaminants. A preferred embodiment has a laminated yoke for improved high frequency efficiency, with the MR element situated between the yoke lamina for improved sensitivity.

摘要： The present invention is a yoke spin valve MR read head which electrically connects a spin valve MR sensor to spaced apart yoke portions. First and second yoke pieces are electrically connected at a head surface and are insulated from one another at a back gap which is remotely located from the head surface. The first yoke piece has a break which divides it into first and second portions which are spaced from one another. The spin valve MR sensor is located within this break and electrically interconnects the first and second portions of the first yoke piece. First and second leads are connected to the first and second yoke pieces respectively and receive a current from a current source for applying a sense current to the spin valve MR sensor via the first and second yoke pieces. When a magnetic medium is moved adjacent the head surface of the read head the yoke pieces serve as conductors for transmitting sense current to the spin valve MR sensor as well as functioning as a flux guide. Flux incursions propagated from the magnetic medium to the spin valve MR sensor via the yoke cause relative rotations between directions of magnetic moments of a pinned layer and a free layer which correspond to signals which can be processed by a signal processing device. The signal strength of the yoke spin valve MR sensor is superior to an anisotropic MR sensor and is easier to fabricate.

摘要： A magnetoresistive read transducer includes a magnetoresistive (MR) layer having end regions spaced by a central active regions. A pair of hard-magnetic layers provide the longitudinal magnetic bias to the magnetoresistive layer. Each of the hard-magnetic layers is disposed in contact with one of the end regions of the magnetoresistive layer. In addition, a pair of electrical leads provide the bias current to the magnetoresistive layer. Each of the electrical leads is also disposed in contact with one of the end regions of the magnetoresistive layer. This arrangement enable the transducer of the present invention with the most optimal design. In essence, electrical current directly passes through the central active region of the magnetoresistive layer via the electrical leads as a low electrical resistance path. Magnetic flux of the longitudinal bias directly passes through the central active region of the magnetoresistive layer with a reduced probability of magnetic discontinuity.

摘要： An information storage system having a ring head in such close proximity to a rigid magnetic storage disk that the magnetic field felt by the media layer or layers of the disk has a larger perpendicular than longitudinal component so that data is stored in a perpendicular mode. Reading of data is accomplished with a magnetoresistive sensor which may be coupled to the magnetically permeable core of the ring head far from the poletips, which may contact the disk. The media preferably has a high perpendicular anisotropy, and may be formed in a plurality of films with crystalline structures traversing the films.

摘要： A transducer for a hard disk drive system has a planar magnetic core and a pair of poletips that project transversely from the core for sliding contact with the disk during reading and writing. The transducer is formed entirely of thin films in the shape of a low profile table having three legs that slide on the disk, the poletips being exposed at a bottom of one of the legs for high resolution communication with the disk, the throat height of the poletips affording sufficient tolerance to allow for wear. The legs elevate the transducer from the disk sufficiently to minimize lifting by a thin air layer that moves with the spinning disk which, in combination with the small size of the thin film head allows a low load and a flexible beam and gimbal to hold the transducer to the disk. The transducer includes a loop shaped core of magnetic material that ends at the poletips, the core extending further parallel than perpendicular to the disk surface and preferably being formed of a plurality of slightly spaced ribbons of magnetic material in order to increase high frequency permeance. A high magnetic saturation layer may be formed adjoining the gap in at least the trailing poletip, in order to avoid saturation at the poletips during writing. The dimensions of the yoke adjacent to the poletips are also designed to avoid saturation at the poletips by saturating at a lower flux in the yoke than the poletips. The close relationship between the transducer and the media of the disk affords high density magnetic data storage and retrieval.
