    摘要: An arbitrary gap thin film magnetic recording head is fabricated by forming a substrate based on traditional vertical planar thin film head wafer technology which is designed to produce an integrated subgap and subpole substrate structure. The wafer is then processed into row bars to reveal, in a plane parallel to the transducing direction of the medium, the subgap and subpoles at the surface of the row bar and to bring the structure to a certain coil depth or gap depth. A flat or cylindrical contour may be utilized.This thin film subgap row bar is taken through a film deposition or growth process that deposits the magnetic film on a plane perpendicular to the wafer plane, horizontal planar processing, forming a surface film recording head where an arbitrary gap structure can be made in-between the subpoles and generally directly on top of the subgap. The surface thin film is deposited and patterned on the tape bearing surface of the head to optimize various element configurations, gap patterns and head-to-tape medium contact.An arbitrary gap thin film magnetic recording head is manufactured using two major thin film processing planes, one orthogonal to the other, the first major plane is wafer level and the second major plane is sub-wafer level and perpendicular to the first. The first major plane of processing defines the magnetically active substrate including coils, subgap and subpole members. The second major plane of processing defines the surface film which transmits the flux from the subpoles to the gap features contained in the surface film.This resulting structure is a recording head that is wired to the servo system electronics and will format the tape with the arbitrary gap pattern.

    摘要: A thin film magnetic head assembly incorporates a nonconductive magnetic substrate which serves as a first pole piece and a thin film magnetic layer for the second pole piece. A magnetoresistive (MR) element is disposed between the pole pieces. During the write mode, the MR element serves as a partial write turn to enhance the write signal current applied to a conductor means. During the read mode, the conductor means serves as a magnetic shield, and the transducing gap is effectively narrowed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to direct current (“DC”) pre-erasing servo channels of a magnetic tape prior to writing servo data in a servo channel. The present invention particularly relates to those servo recordings which were written with a uni-polar current waveform. The DC pre-erase is performed using a uni-polar direct current of a polarity that is opposite to the polarity of the direct current used to write the servo data. This pre-erase may be done with one or more heads. Also, as will be described, the pre-erase of a servo channel and writing to a servo channel may be done by making two passes over a single head or by using two or more heads to perform both steps. Also, it is within the scope of the present invention to have the heads mounted on a single mount or have the heads on separate mounts and on separate tape decks.

    摘要: A magnetic head assembly in a linear tape system having an interface region having a substantially flat region with a substantially square leading edge and at least one cavity in the flat region. The cavity has a depth of about 0.5 micrometers to about 20 micrometers. At least one read-write element is located on the flat region adjacent to the cavity. As a magnetic tape traversing the interface region, a sub-ambient condition is generated. The magnetic tape is bent or otherwise deformed as it passes over the cavity, thereby increase tape stability at the interface with the read-write elements. A magnetic tape system for recording, reproducing and/or erasing magnetic information in a linear tape system or for servo-writing magnetic tapes is also disclosed.
