    摘要: The embodiments of the present invention relate to a magnetic read head with pinned layers extending to the ABS of the read head and in contact with an antiferromagnetic layer that is recessed in relation to the ABS of the read head. The recessed antiferromagnetic layer may be disposed above or below the pinned layer structure and provides a pinning field to prevent amplitude flipping in head operation. In these embodiments of the present invention, the read gap of the sensor, that is the distance between the highly permeable, magnetically soft upper and lower shield layers at the ABS, is reduced by the thickness of the antiferromagnetic layer.

    摘要: The embodiments generally relate to a read head in a magnetic recording head. The read head utilizes a sensor structure having a pinned magnetic structure with a magnetic field, a barrier layer disposed on top of the pinned magnetic structure, a free layer disposed on top of the barrier layer, and an interlayer coupling field canceling layer disposed on top of the free layer. The interlayer coupling field canceling layer has a cancelling magnetic field pinned anti-parallel the magnetic field of the pinned magnetic structure.

    摘要: The embodiments disclosed generally relate to a read head in a magnetic recording head. The read head utilizes a sensor structure having: a pinned magnetic structure recessed from a media facing surface; and a reader gap structure. The reader gap structure has a spacer layer recessed from the media facing surface and disposed on top of the pinned magnetic structure, a recessed first free layer partially recessed from the media facing surface and disposed on top of the barrier layer, a second free layer extending to the media facing surface an disposed on top of the barrier layer, and a cap layer extending to the media facing surface disposed atop the second free layer. The pinned magnetic structure, the spacer, and the first free layer have a common face which is on an angle relative to the media facing surface.

    摘要: The embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for forming a magnetic read head with pinned layers extending to the ABS of the read head and magnetically coupled with an antiferromagnetic layer that is recessed in relation to the ABS of the read head. Portions of the antiferromagnetic layer and a magnetic layer that are extending to the ABS are removed, exposing a shield. A shielding material is formed on the exposed shield and a seed layer is formed on the shield and on or over a portion of the remaining antiferromagnetic layer. A pinned layer structure is formed on the seed layer and the magnetic layer.

    摘要: A tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) device, like a magnetic recording disk drive read head, has a nitrogen-containing layer between the MgO barrier layer and the free and/or reference ferromagnetic layers that contain boron. In one embodiment the free ferromagnetic layer includes a boron-containing layer and a trilayer nanolayer structure between the MgO barrier layer and the boron-containing layer. The trilayer nanolayer structure includes a thin Co, Fe or CoFe first nanolayer in contact with the MgO layer, a thin FeN or CoFeN second nanolayer on the first nanolayer and a thin Co, Fe or CoFe third nanolayer on the FeN or CoFeN nanolayer between the FeN or CoFeN nanolayer and the boron-containing layer. If the reference ferromagnetic layer also includes a boron-containing layer then a similar trilayer nanolayer structure may be located between the boron-containing layer and the MgO barrier layer.
