The magnetic pole includes a magnetic pole end portion, and first and second magnetic pole edge portions connected to the magnetic pole end portion. The first coil portion includes first and second coil edge portions, and a third coil edge portion overlapping the magnetic pole and being connected to the first and second coil edge portions. The first magnetic pole edge portion includes a first magnetic pole overlap portion overlapping the first coil edge portion.

The magnetic pole end portion has a magnetic pole end portion center in a second direction connecting the first and second magnetic pole overlap portions.
Abstract:
A PMR writer is disclosed wherein magnetic flux return from a magnetic medium to a main pole is substantially greater through a trailing shield structure than through a leading shield and return path layer (RTP). Magnetic impedance is increased between the RTP and main pole in the leading return loop by modifying the size and shape of the back gap connection (BGC), by decreasing Bs in the RTP or reducing its thickness, or by removing one or more layers in the BGC and replacing with dielectric material or non-magnetic metal to form a dielectric gap between the RTP and main pole. As a result, area density control and bit error rate are improved over a conventional dual write shield (DWS) structure comprising two flux return pathways. Moreover, adjacent track erasure is maintained at a level similar to a DWS design.
Abstract:
A magnetic head includes a coil, a main pole and a return path section. The return path section is located on the trailing side relative to the main pole so that a space is defined between the main pole and itself. The coil includes a first winding portion and a second winding portion connected in series. The first winding portion extends to pass through the aforementioned space, and extends once around the entire perimeter of the main pole as viewed from the medium facing surface. The second winding portion does not pass through the aforementioned space, and surrounds only a part of the entire perimeter of the main pole as viewed from the medium facing surface.
Abstract:
A magnetic write head has a plated coil with narrow pitch and is suitable for writing at high frequencies on magnetic media with high coercivity. The narrow pitch is obtained without such disadvantages as overplating that has adversely affected prior art attempts to produce such narrow pitches. The process that produces the magnetic write head is characterized by an RIE plasma etch using O2/N2 to etch plating trenches into a baked layer of photoresist with the ratio of gases being 5/45 sccm so that a dilute O2 concentration does not create unwanted side etching of the plating trenches. In addition, a Cu seed layer is coated with an insulating layer of Al2O3 which redeposits on the trench sidewalls to inhibit redeposition of any Cu from the seed layer and prevent outward growth of the plated Cu that would result in overplating.

The write head also has a coil structure having at least two active turns crossing the paddle portion, wherein a back of the coil structure is no more than 1 micrometer past the back edge of the write pole. In some implementations, a length from the pole tip to the back edge is no more than 4.5 micrometers.
Abstract:
An example magnetic recording apparatus includes a magnetic recording medium, a magnetic recording head and a signal processor. The magnetic recording head includes a first magnetic pole to apply a recording magnetic field to the magnetic recording medium; a spin torque oscillator arranged parallel to the first magnetic pole; and a first coil to magnetize the first magnetic pole. The signal processor writes and reads a signal on the magnetic recording medium by using the magnetic recording head and includes a first current circuit to supply a recording current to the first coil, the recording current including a recording signal to be recorded on the magnetic recording medium. The recording current includes either one of a signal changing at a frequency higher than that of the recording signal, and a signal having the same frequency as the recording signal and changing an absolute value thereof in one cycle.
