  • Publication number: 20190279662
    Abstract: A magnetic recording write head includes a spin torque oscillator (STO) between the write pole and trailing shield and an extended seed layer on the write pole beneath the STO. The seed layer has a cross-track width greater than the width of the STO and a depth in a direction orthogonal to the disk-facing surface of the write pole greater than the depth of the STO. A first insulating refill layer is formed on the sides of the extended seed layer and STO and a second insulating refill layer in contact with the first refill layer has a thermal conductivity greater than that of the first refill layer. When current is passing through the STO the extended seed layer spreads the current to reduce heating of the write pole and STO and the bilayer refill material facilitates the transfer of heat away from the write pole and STO.

  • Patent number: 9947347
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor that generates a signal based on inverse spin Hall effect. The sensor includes a magnetic free layer and a non-magnetic, electrically conductive spin Hall layer located adjacent to the magnetic free layer. Circuitry is configured to supply an electrical current that travels through the magnetic free layer and the spin Hall layer in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the plane of the layers or perpendicular to a plane defined by an interface between the magnetic free layer and the spin Hall layer. The inverse spin Hall effect causes an electrical voltage in the spin Hall layer as a result of the current, and the voltage changes relative to the orientation of magnetization of the magnetic free layer. Circuitry is provided for measuring the voltage in the spin Hall layer in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the direction of the electrical current.

  • Patent number: 9679591
    Abstract: A scissor type magnetic sensor for magnetic data recording having a flux closure magnetic side shield structure. The magnetic sensor has a magnetic side shield structure that includes a non-magnetic layer within a magnetic material layer, with the non-magnetic layer being removed from the sensor stack so as to define upper and lower magnetic portions of the magnetic structure that are separated from one another at a region away from the sensor stack. The upper and lower magnetic portions are connected with one another in a region near the sensor stack so as to magnetic flux closure structure. The novel magnetic side shield structure provides net neutral magnetization that does not provide an inadvertent biasing to the magnetic free layers of the magnetic sensor.

  • Publication number: 20170092303
    Abstract: A scissor type magnetic sensor having an in stack magnetic bias structure for biasing first and second magnetic free layers. The in stack bias structure can include a magnetic tab that is exchange coupled with a magnetic shield so as to pin its magnetization in a desired direction parallel with the media facing surface. The magnetic tab can be separated from the free magnetic layer by a non-magnetic de-coupling layer that magnetically de-couples the magnetic tab from the magnetic free layer. A magnetostatic field from the edges of the magnetic tab can provide magnetic biasing for the magnetic free layer. Alternatively, the magnetic tab can be separated from the magnetic free layer by a very thin non-magnetic dusting layer that provides a weak magnetic exchange coupling (either parallel or anti-parallel) between the magnetic tab and the magnetic free layer.
