A non-magnetic front bump layer may be formed on one or more of the tapered surfaces of the magnetic pole at a distance from the ABS. The front bump layer may increase the separation distance between a shield layer and the magnetic pole near the tapered surface, thereby improving the performance of the write head. | 06-09-2011 |
20110146062 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A MAGNETIC WRITE HEAD HAVING A WRAP AROUND SHIELD THAT IS MAGNETICALLY COUPLED WITH A LEADING MAGNETIC SHIELD - A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head having a leading magnetic shield and a trailing magnetic shield that are arranged to prevent the lost of magnetic write field to the trailing magnetic shield. The write head includes a non-magnetic step layer that provides additional spacing between the trailing magnetic shield and the write pole at a region removed from the air bearing surface. | 06-23-2011 |
20110151279 | MAGNETIC WRITE HEAD MANUFACTURED BY AN ENHANCED DAMASCENE PROCESS PRODUCING A TAPERED WRITE POLE WITH A NON-MAGNETIC SPACER AND NON-MAGNETIC BUMP - A magnetic write head having a tapered trailing edge and having a magnetic layer formed over a trailing edge of the write pole at a location recessed from the ABS, the magnetic layer being separated from the trailing edge of the write pole by a thin non-magnetic layer. The thin non-magnetic layer is preferably sufficiently thin that the magnetic layer can function as a portion of the write pole in a region removed from the ABS. A trailing magnetic shield is formed over the write pole and is separated from the write pole by a non-magnetic trailing gap layer. A non-magnetic spacer layer can be formed over the magnetic layer to provide additional separation between the magnetic layer and the trailing magnetic shield. | 06-23-2011 |
20120162821 | WRITE HEAD WITH ROTATIONAL WRITE FIELD - The present disclosure describes various ways to achieve a rotational write field using a single coil.

20130020204 | MAGNETIC WRITE HEAD HAVING AN ELECTROPLATED WRITE POLE WITH A LEADING EDGE TAPER - A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head having a tapered leading edge. The method includes depositing a sacrificial non-magnetic layer to a thickness that is at least as great as the thickness of the write pole to be formed. The sacrificial non-magnetic layer is then masked and ion milled so as to form a tapered edge on the sacrificial non-magnetic layer that extends through the thickness of the non-magnetic fill layer. A magnetic material is then deposited and planarized by chemical mechanical polishing. The remaining magnetic material forms the entirety of the magnetic write pole so that there is no need to deposit additional magnetic layers further construct the write pole. | 01-24-2013 |
20130082027 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIC WRITE HEAD USING NOVEL REACTIVE ION ETCHING CHEMISTRY - A method for manufacturing a magnetic write head for magnetic data recording.

The image of the photoresist mask is transferred onto the underlying dielectric hard mask and then a reactive ion etching is performed to transfer the image of the dielectric hard mask onto the polymer mask under-layer. This reactive ion etching is performed in an atmosphere chemistry that includes both an oxygen containing gas and a nitrogen containing gas. | 04-04-2013 |
20150056473 | SHIELD WITH UNIFORM MAGNETIC PROPERTIES FOR A PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIC RECORDING HEAD - Depositing a seed layer for a high-moment shield onto a write pole may have a deleterious effect on the magnetic response of the write pole. Instead, an amorphous separation layer may be deposited between the write pole and the seed layer. In one embodiment, the seed layer is formed directly on the amorphous layer. In addition to separating the seed layer from the write pole, the amorphous separation layer permits the seed layer to dictate the crystallographic orientation of the shield which is subsequently deposited on the magnetic head. That is, the amorphous layer provides a substrate that allows the seed layer to have a crystalline structure independent of the layers that were deposited previously. The amorphous separation layer may comprise an amorphous metal—e.g., NiNb or NiTa—or an insulative material—e.g., alumina or silicon dioxide. | 02-26-2015 |

20090188664 | Launching Tool for Releasing Cement Plugs Downhole - A wiper plug release tool uses a first pump down plug that lands in the tool to pressurize an internal chamber to slide a sleeve that undermines a set of dogs to allow the lower wiper plug to be decoupled from support. The shifting of this sleeve cams a second set of dogs into an internal passage in the tool to act as a landing location for a second pump down plug. Landing the second pump down plug on the now extended dogs allows a net pressure to be applied to an upper piston which shifts a sleeve to release the support for the second wiper plug. The upper piston remains in pressure balance unless the second pump down plug can be landed on the dogs that only extended because the sleeve that released the lower wiper plug had shifted. | 07-30-2009 |
