  • Self-aligned bevels for write poles
    Patent number: 8734894
    Abstract: A method of depositing material onto a base portion of a wafer is disclosed. The method includes forming a bevel into a portion of a surface of the base portion of the wafer and depositing a first layer of conductive material onto the beveled portion of the base portion so that part of the first layer includes a wedge shape above the surface of the base portion. A second layer of conductive material is deposited onto the base portion including the portion of the base portion onto which the first layer of material is deposited.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2014
    Assignee: Seagate Technology LLC
    Inventors: David Chris Seets, Chang Xie, Christopher J. Cote, Karen Virginia Rud

  • METHOD OF MAKING A TRANSDUCER WITH A CONDUCTIVE MAGNETIC LAYER
    Publication number: 20110179634
    Abstract: A transducer includes a first layer that is selectively deposited in a contact region to form a core, and selectively deposited in a transducer region to form a first element of the transducer. The transducer includes an electrically conductive magnetic deposit. The electrically conductive magnetic deposit forms a sidewall on the core. The electrically conductive magnetic deposit forms a second element of the transducer in the transducer region. The second element of the transducer has a planarized surface that is coplanar with a planarized surface of the sidewall.
