The main pole 20 resides on an underlayer 12 and includes sidewalls 22 and 24. The sidewalls 22 and 24 of the conventional main pole 20 form an angle α0 with the down track direction at the ABS. The side shields 16 are separated from the main pole 20 by a side gap 14. The side shields 16 extend at least from the top of the main pole 20 to the bottom of the main pole 20. The side shields 16 also extend a distance back from the ABS. The gap 14 between the side shields 16 and the main pole 20 may have a substantially constant thickness. Thus, the side shields 16 are conformal with the main pole 20.
Although the conventional magnetic recording head 10 functions, there are drawbacks. In particular, the conventional magnetic recording head 10 may not perform sufficiently at higher recording densities. For example, at higher recording densities, a shingle recording scheme may be desired to be sued. In shingle recording, successive tracks partially overwrite previously written tracks in one direction only. Part of the overwritten tracks, such as their edges, are preserved as the recorded data. In shingle recording, the size of the main pole 20 may be increased for a given track size. However, in order to mitigate issues such as track edge curvature, shingle writers have very narrow side gaps 14. Other design requirements may also be present. The magnetic transducer 10 may not perform as desired or meet the design requirements for such recording schemes. Without such recording schemes, the conventional transducer 10 may not adequately perform at higher areal densities. Accordingly, what is needed is a system and method for improving the performance of a magnetic recording head.
An intermediate layer including at least two sublayers is provided, via step 102. In at least the region in which the side shields are to be formed (shield region), the intermediate layer includes a first sublayer and a second sublayer. The first and second sublayer may be removed using different processes. The second sublayer is on the first sublayer. In some embodiments, the first sublayer includes silicon oxide, while the second sublayer includes aluminum oxide. A third sublayer may be outside of the shield region. However, the top of the third sublayer is desired to be substantially coplanar with the top of the second sublayer. Stated differently, the top of the intermediate layer is desired to be substantially flat so that fabrication may take place with less variations in topography of the intermediate layer. In some embodiments, the third sublayer may be formed of the same material as the first sublayer. Thus, the third sublayer may include silicon oxide. The first sublayer may thus be considered part of the first sublayer whether the first and third sublayers are formed separately or together. In some embodiments, step 102 includes full-film depositing first and second layers, then removing the portions of these layers outside of the side shield region. The first and second sublayers thus remain in the side shield region. The third sublayer may then be deposited and the layer(s) planarized. Thus, the intermediate layer may be formed.
A trench is formed in an intermediate layer using one or more etches, via step 104. The trench formed has the desired geometry and location for formation of the main pole. For example, the top of the trench may be wider than the bottom so that the top of the main pole may be wider than the bottom. The sidewall angles may also vary. For example, the sidewall angles at and near the ABS may be larger (further from perpendicular to the surface of the intermediate layer) than the sidewall angles in regions recessed from the ABS (termed the yoke herein). For example, the sidewalls may be substantially perpendicular to the bottom of the trench in the yoke region, but twelve to sixteen degrees from the down track direction near the ABS. In other embodiments, other sidewall angles and/or other variations in sidewall angles may be possible. In some embodiments, step 104 controls the sidewall angles through the use of multiple etches and/or etch conditions for each etch. Further, the trench extends at least partially into the first sublayer in the shield region. In some embodiments, some or all of the trench may extend through the first sublayer. Thus, the top of the first sublayer resides between the bottom and the top of the trench.
The main pole is provided in the trench, via step 106. In some embodiments, step 106 includes depositing a seed layer, such as Ru and/or magnetic seed layer(s). High saturation magnetization magnetic material(s) are also provided. For example, such magnetic materials may be plated and/or vacuum deposited. The pole formed in step 106 may be conformal to the trench, nonconformal with the trench, or include both conformal and nonconformal portions. The top of the first sublayer is between the bottom of the main pole and the top of the main pole in the shield region.
At least part of the second sublayer in the shield region is removed, via step 108. Step 108 may be performed using a wet etch appropriate for the second sublayer, but not the first or third sublayers.
The side shield(s) are provided in the shield region, via step 110. Step 110 may include plating or otherwise providing the material(s) for the side shields. The bottoms of the side shields reside on the top of the first sublayer in the shield region. Thus, the side shield(s) extend to a location between the top and the bottom of the main pole. The side shields are thus termed half side shields. Note, however, that the half shields need not extend precisely halfway down between the top and bottom of the main pole. Instead, the half side shields terminate somewhere between the top and bottom of the main pole.
Using the method 100, a magnetic transducer having improved performance may be fabricated. A shingle writer may not need to have side shield(s) which extend to the bottom of the main pole. Thus, the method 100 may provide a main pole that may be used in shingle recording. Thus, the benefits of shingle recording may be exploited. The location of the bottom of the half side shields may be set by the thickness of the first sublayer. Thus, the side shield geometry may be predefined. As such, the method 100 may be simplified.
The disk drive includes a media 202, and a slider 204 on which a transducer 200 have been fabricated. Although not shown, the slider 204 and thus the transducer 200 are generally attached to a suspension. In general, the slider 204 includes the write transducer 200 and a read transducer (not shown). However, for clarity, only the write transducer 200 is shown.
The transducer 200 includes an underlayer 206, an intermediate layer 208, a main pole 210, coil(s) 220 and half shields 230. The underlayer 206 may include a bottom (or leading edge) shield. The coil(s) 220 are used to energize the main pole 210. Two turns are depicted in
The intermediate layer 208 may include one or more sublayers. However, one or more of the sublayers may have been removed for formation of the half shields 230. Further, the layers may be vertical and/or may be into the plane of the page. For example, the intermediate layer 208 in the recessed view may be formed of different material(s) than in the ABS view. As can be seen in
The main pole 210 is shown as having a top wider than the bottom. The main pole 210 thus includes sidewalls 217 and 218 having sidewall angles, α0 and α1 that are greater than or equal to zero. In the embodiment shown, these sidewall angles differ at different distances from the ABS. In some embodiments, α0 (at the ABS) is at least three degrees and not more than fifteen degrees. In some such embodiments, α0 is at least six and not more than nine degrees. The sidewall angle is larger at the ABS than recessed from the ABS. Although α1 is shown as nonzero, in some embodiments, the sidewall angle for the main pole 210 is zero degrees (substantially vertical sidewalls). For example, α1 may be at least zero degrees and not more than five degrees. In some embodiments, α1 is not more than three degrees. Thus, the sidewall angles may decrease to zero as the distance from the ABS increases. However, in other embodiments, other geometries may be used. For example, the top may be the same size as or smaller than the bottom. The sidewall angles may vary in another manner including, but not limited to, remaining substantially constant.
The half shields 230 are shown as including a trailing shield portion. This is denoted by a dotted line in
The magnetic transducer 200 in the disk drive may be used in shingle recording. Thus, the benefits of shingle recording may be achieved. For example, higher areal density recording may be performed by a head having larger critical dimensions.
The material(s) for the first sublayer are full-film deposited, via step 152. In some embodiments, step 152 includes full-film depositing silicon oxide. The material(s) for the second sublayer are full-film deposited, via step 154. Step 154 may include depositing aluminum oxide on the silicon oxide layer.
A mask that exposes a part of the second nonmagnetic layer 265 is provided, via step 156. Step 156 may include providing a hard mask layer, such as Cr on the second nonmagnetic layer 264. A photoresist mask that covers a portion of the transducer 250 in which the shields are to be formed is provided.
The exposed portions of the first nonmagnetic layer 262 and the second nonmagnetic layer 264 may then be removed, via step 158. Step 158 may be performed using a reactive ion etch (RIE) that is capable of removing both layers 262 and 264. Although some etches (such as a wet etch) may remove only one of the layers 262 or 264, in some embodiments, other etches may remove both. An RIE may be desirable because such an etch may be highly anisotropic, resulting in vertical sidewalls.
A refill step is performed, via step 160. Step 160 includes full film depositing a third nonmagnetic layer for the intermediate layer. The third nonmagnetic layer may be insulating. In some embodiments, the third nonmagnetic layer is the same material as the first nonmagnetic layer 262′. Thus, step 160 may include full film depositing a silicon oxide layer.
A planarization is then performed, via step 162. The planarization of step 162 may be a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). Thus, the top of the third nonmagnetic layer 266 is desired to be substantially coplanar with the top of the second nonmagnetic layer 264′. In addition, an ion mill or analogous removal step may be performed to remove the hard mask 270′.
A mask is provided on the intermediate layer 260, via step 164. The mask includes an aperture that corresponds to a trench to be formed in the intermediate layer 260. Step 164 may be performed using a photoresist line. For example, a first hard mask layer, such as Ta, may be full film deposited. A photoresist mask having a line corresponding to the region of the pole near the ABS is then fabricated on the first hard mask layer. A second hard mask layer, such as Cr, is provided on the first hard mask layer and the photoresist mask. The photoresist is then removed. This may be accomplished by side milling the photoresist mask to remove the second hard mask layer, then performing a lift off.
A trench is formed in intermediate layer 260, via step 166. Step 166 may include performing an aluminum oxide RIE (or other RIE(s) appropriate for the layers 262′ and 264′). In some embodiments, multiple RIEs are used to obtain the desired trench profile for various regions of the transducer 250.
Seed layer(s) that are resistant to an etch of the intermediate layer 260 is deposited in the trench, via step 168. In some embodiments, this seed layer may serve as at least part of the gap. The seed layer may include material(s) such as Ru deposited using methods such as chemical vapor deposition. In other embodiments, a magnetic seed layer may be used in lieu of or in addition to a nonmagnetic seed layer.
The main pole may then be provided, via step 170. Step 170 includes depositing high saturation magnetization magnetic material(s), for example via electroplating. In some embodiments, the pole provided in step 170 fills the trench 280. However, in other embodiments, the pole may occupy only a portion of the trench.
A mask used in forming the side shield is provided, via step 172.
At least a portion of the second sublayer 264″ outside of the trench 280 and inside of the shield regions is removed, via step 174. Step 174 may include performing an aluminum oxide wet etch.
The half shield(s) may be provided, via step 176. Step 176 includes depositing the material(s) for the half shield. For example, a magnetic material such as NiFe may be electroplated in step 176. In some embodiments, the half shield are part of a wraparound shield. Thus, step 176 may also include providing a wraparound shield. In addition, a write gap layer may also be provided. The magnetic material(s), such as NiFe, for the shield may thus be plated or otherwise deposited.
Using the method 150, the transducer 250 including shield 300 or 300′ may be provided. Thus, the benefits of shingle recording may be achieved. For example, higher areal density recording may be performed by a head having larger critical dimensions.
