20120012555 | Method to make an integrated side shield PMR head with non-conformal side gap - A non-conformal integrated side shield structure is disclosed for a PMR write head wherein the sidewalls of the side shield are not parallel to the pole tip sidewalls. Thus, the side gap distance between the leading pole tip edge and side shield is different than the side gap distance between the trailing pole tip edge and side shield. As a result, there is a reduced side fringing field and improved overwrite performance. The side gap distance is constant with increasing distance from the ABS along the main pole layer. A fabrication method is provided where the trailing shield and side shield are formed in the same step to afford a self-aligned shield structure. Adjacent track erasure induced by flux choking at the side shield and trailing shield interface can be eliminated by this design. The invention encompasses a tapered main pole layer in a narrow pole tip section. | 01-19-2012 |

20120125884 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A NARROW MAGNETIC READ WIDTH CURRENT PERPENDICULAR TO PLANE MAGNETORESISTIVE SENSOR - A method for manufacturing a magnetic read head having a very narrow track width. The method includes the use of a non-Si containing photoresist to form a mask prior to ion milling to define the track-width of the sensor. Previously only Si-containing resists were used. The Si in the resist turned to an oxide, which allowed the photoresist to withstand the reactive ion etching used for image transfer to an underlying hard mask. The Si-containing resist, however, has limitations as to how small the mask can be made. It has been found that a non-Si-containing resist provides better resolution at very narrow track-width definition, and also provides good temperature resistance. Some modifications to the process allow the non-Si-containing resist to be used in the construction of the magnetic read sensor. | 05-24-2012 |
20120152891 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A MAGNETIC TAPE HEAD USING A TMR SENSOR - A method for manufacturing a magnetic tape head having a data sensor and a servo sensor. The data sensor and servo sensor are each separated from first and second magnetic shields by a non-magnetic gap layer, and the gap thickness for the servo sensor is larger than the gap thickness for the data sensor. The method involves depositing a first gap layer over shield structures, then depositing a second gap layer using a liftoff process to remove the second gap layer over the data sensor region. A plurality of sensor layers are then deposited, and a stripe height defining mask structure is formed over the data and servo sensor regions, the mask having a back edge that is configured to define a stripe height of the data and servo sensors. An ion milling is then performed to define the stripe height and to remove gap material from the field. | 06-21-2012 |
