    Abstract: Ionized physical vapor deposition (IPVD) is used to form a magnetic recording disk drive write head main pole with thin side gap layers and a thicker leading gap layer. A metal or metal alloy is formed by IPVD in a trench with a bottom and outwardly sloping sidewalls. An optional Ru seed layer is deposited on the metal or metal alloy. This is followed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) of a Ru smoothing layer. If the IPVD results in metal or metal alloy side gap layers with a rough surface, the ALD process is modified, resulting in a smooth Ru smoothing layer that does not replicate the rough surface of the side gap layers.

    Abstract: An apparatus according to one embodiment includes a read sensor. The read sensor has an antiferromagnetic layer (AFM), a first antiparallel magnetic layer (AP1 ) positioned above the AFM layer in a first direction oriented along a media-facing surface and perpendicular to a track width direction, a non-magnetic layer positioned above the AP1 in the first direction, a second antiparallel magnetic layer (AP2) positioned above the non-magnetic layer in the first direction, a harrier layer positioned above the AP2 in the first direction, and a free layer positioned above the barrier layer in the first direction. A soft bias layer is positioned behind at least a portion of the free layer in an element height direction normal to the media-facing surface, the soft bias layer including a soft magnetic material configured to compensate for a magnetic coupling of the free layer with the AP2.
