Publication number: 20190392861Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to magnetic media devices, and more specifically, to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The recording head includes a main pole, a trailing shield hot seed layer, a spin Hall layer disposed between the main pole and the trailing shield hot seed layer, and a spin-torque layer disposed between the main pole and the trailing shield hot seed layer. Spin-orbit torque (SOT) is generated from the spin Hall layer. The spin-torque layer magnetization switching or precession is induced by the SOT. The SOT based head reduces the switching current and the Vjump due to higher spin polarization ratio, which improves energy efficiency. In addition, the spin Hall layer and the spin-torque layer are easier to form compared to the conventional pseudo spin-valve structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2019Publication date: December 26, 2019Inventors: Zhanjie LI, Suping SONG, Kuok San HO

Publication number: 20190279663Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to data storage devices, and more specifically, to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The head includes a main pole at a media facing surface (MFS), a trailing shield at the MFS, and a heavy metal layer disposed between the main pole and the trailing shield at the MFS. Spin-orbit torque (SOT) is generated from the heavy metal layer and transferred to a surface of the main pole as a current passes through the heavy metal layer in a cross-track direction. The SOT executes a torque on the surface magnetization of the main pole, which reduces the magnetic flux shunting from the main pole to the trailing shield. With the reduced magnetic flux shunting from the main pole to the trailing shield, write-ability is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2018Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Suping SONG, Zhanjie LI, Michael Kuok San HO, Quang LE, Alexander M.

Patent number: 10403309Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to data storage devices, and more specifically, to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The head includes a main pole, a trailing shield, and an oscillator located between the main pole and the trailing shield. The oscillator is disposed at a media facing surface (MFS). The oscillator includes a spin-torque layer sandwiched between two distinct spin Hall layers. The two distinct spin Hall layers generate spin-orbit torque (SOT) that induces in-plane precessions on opposite surfaces of the spin-torque layer, and both in-plane precessions are in the same direction. The same-direction in-plane precessions on opposite surfaces of the spin-torque layer reduce the critical current of the oscillation of the oscillator, leading to high quality recording.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2019Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: WESTERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Zhanjie Li, Suping Song, Michael Kuok San Ho

Patent number: 10181334Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to data storage devices, and more specifically, to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The head includes a main pole, a spin Hall structure surrounding at least a portion of the main pole at a location that is recessed from a media facing surface (MFS), and a spin-torque structure surrounding at least a portion of the main pole at the MFS. Spin-orbit torque (SOT) is generated from the spin Hall structure. The spin-torque structure magnetization switching (or precession) is induced by the SOT. The SOT based head with the spin-torque structure increases both track density (tracks per inch) and linear density (bit per inch). The areal density capability (ADC), which is the product of tracks per inch and bit per inch, can be further improved by removing the side shield and the leading shield, when the spin-torque structure is utilized in the SOT based head.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: WESTERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Suping Song, Zhanjie Li, Michael Kuok San Ho

Patent number: 10157632Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to data storage devices, and more specifically, to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The head includes a main pole, a heavy metal structure surrounding at least a portion of the main pole at a media facing surface (MFS), and two magnetic structures sandwiching the heavy metal structure. Spin-orbit torque (SOT) is generated from the heavy metal structure, inducing magnetization switching (or precession) in the magnetic structures. The SOT reduces the magnetic flux shunting from the main pole to the trailing shield, and the magnetization switching sharpens the write field profile in the cross-track direction. The SOT based head with the magnetic structures sandwiching the heavy metal structure increases both track density (tracks per inch) and linear density (bit per inch), which in turn increases the areal density capability (ADC), which is the product of tracks per inch and bit per inch.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: WESTERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Suping Song, Zhanjie Li, Michael Kuok San Ho, Quang Le, Alexander M.

Patent number: 10121495Abstract: A magnetic write apparatus has a media-facing surface (MFS), a pole having leading and trailing surfaces, a trailing shield having a pole-facing surface, a write gap and coil(s). The pole's trailing surface has a portion adjoining the MFS and oriented at a nonzero, acute bevel angle from a direction perpendicular to the MFS. The pole-facing surface includes a first portion adjoining the MFS and oriented at a first angle substantially the same as the bevel angle, a second portion oriented at a second angle greater than the first trailing shield angle, and a third portion oriented at a third angle substantially the same as the first angle. The write gap has first, second and third thicknesses adjacent to the first, second and third portions of the pole-facing surface, respectively. The first thickness is constant. The second thickness varies. The third thickness is constant and greater than the first thickness.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: WESTERN DIGITAL (FREMONT), LLCInventors: Feng Liu, Zhanjie Li, Zhigang Bai, Yi Wang

Patent number: 10014012Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to data storage devices, and more specifically, to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The head includes a main pole, a spin-torque structure surrounding at least a portion of the main pole at a media facing surface (MFS), and a spin Hall structure surrounding the spin-torque structure. Strong spin-orbit torque (SOT) is generated from the spin Hall structure, enforcing in-plane magnetization oscillation in the spin-torque structure. The SOT based head with the spin Hall structure surrounding the spin-torque structure utilizes less current flowed to the spin Hall structure due to the strong SOT generated by the spin Hall structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: WESTERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Suping Song, Zhanjie Li, Michael Kuok San Ho
