  • Direct electrodeposition of magnetic recording head features
    Patent number: 8808524
    Abstract: A method is described for forming a magnetic recording head substrate. The method includes utilizing a metal feature on the magnetic recording head substrate as a grounding path. The magnetic recording head substrate is submerged in a solution containing ions of a second material, and the ions of the second material are electrodeposited on the magnetic recording head substrate.

  • HEAT ASSISTED MAGNETIC RECORDING (HAMR) HEADS INCLUDING COMPONENTS MADE OF NICKEL ALLOYS
    Publication number: 20130182545
    Abstract: A magnetic device that includes a write pole having a write pole tip; a read pole having a read pole tip; an optical near field transducer; and a contact pad. The contact pad includes Ni100-aXa, wherein X is chosen from Ru, Re, Zr, Cr, and Cu; and a is the atomic percent of the element X, and can range from about 20 to about 90. The optical near field transducer is positioned between the read pole and the write pole and the contact pad is positioned adjacent the write pole opposite the optical near field transducer.

  • Corrosion resistant and high saturation magnetization materials
    Publication number: 20080003454
    Abstract: An alloy with the formula FeACoBMC, where M includes at least one element of Rh, Ru, Pt, Pd, Os, and Ir, and where 48?A<60, 30?B?50, and 5<C?20 or where 50?A?70, 35<B?50, and 5<C?20. In the formula, A+B+C=about 100 mass percent. The alloys resist corrosion and have a high saturation magnetization. The materials, which may be provided as thin films, are suitable for use as write pole materials in recording heads for magnetic media in data storage devices.
