  • Thin film with tuned grain size
    Patent number: 9142226
    Abstract: An apparatus and associated method provides a magnetic writing element that may have at least a write pole tuned to a predetermined first grain size with a cryogenic substrate temperature. A magnetic shield can be formed with a predetermined second grain size that is tuned with the cryogenic substrate temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • Thin Film with Reduced Stress Anisotropy
    Publication number: 20130288078
    Abstract: An apparatus and associated method may provide a magnetic element can have a thin film deposited on a cryogenic substrate. The thin film can additionally be stress tuned ,during primary annealing to reduce unwanted stress anisotropy. The thin film can be configured to have near zero internal stress after the primary annealing.
