Manufacture method with magnetic head of little line
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of magnetic head processing method, (Air BearingSurface is formed with the manufacture method of the magnetic head of required rough surface or little line on ABS) to relate more specifically to a kind of air-supported.
Background technology
Hard disk drive is along with digital device, need such as digital camera, digital audio/video equipment even digital television etc. the high capacity storage space equipment development and develop rapidly.Therefore, the market demand of hard disk drive is very big, and this market demand impels hard disk drive to develop to two aspects: high surface density and little volume.
Described hard disk drive comprises plural disk, and each magnetic disk surface has the magnetic coating that is used for digital-information recording.Described magnetic head can be moving on the magnetic surface of described disk the data of access on it.High area recording density can be by improving magnetic disk surface the performance of magnetic coating or the size that reduces the magnetic head of access data on magnetic coating obtain.The size that reduces magnetic head means that then read/write signal dies down, and correspondingly, track width and/or track pitch are also corresponding to be reduced.Yet; the key that reduces track width and/or track pitch is to improve the position control ability of magnetic head; the control ability of flying height for example; its representative is when the distance of magnetic head magnetic head and magnetic disk surface when magnetic disk surface moves, and also comprises the thickness of protective coating of magnetic head and magnetic disk surface and magnetic head pole tip cave in (recess ion) or the like.
On the other hand, the volume that reduces hard disk drive is a systems engineering, not only will relate to the physical size that changes each parts of hard disk drive, also relates to the optimization again of the flying power performance of magnetic head.Hard disk drive at present commonly used be used for desk-top computer 3.5 " hard disk drive and be used for notebook computer 2.5 " hard disk drive.And the size that is used for the hard disk drive of portable digital audio-frequency/video equipment has dropped to 1 " even 0.85 ".
Magnetic head is the critical component of hard disk drive.For the clear structure of understanding magnetic head, Fig. 1 a shows from air-supported of magnetic head and (faces the surface of disk, ABS) the magnetic head view of direction observation.As shown in the figure, this magnetic head 10 have air-supported 12, with air-supported 12 vertical leading edge (leading edge) 15 and the trailing edge (trailing edge) 13 relative with this leading edge 15.Be provided with pole tip zone (pole tip region) 11 near the described trailing edge 13.Fig. 1 b is the amplification assumption diagram in pole tip zone among Fig. 1 a.This pole tip zone 13 be a layer structure, comprises inductive write head second magnetic pole (inductive write head pole2) 116, and this second magnetic pole 116 inductive write head first magnetic pole (inductive writehead pole1) 118, secondary shielding layer 111 and first screen layer 113 separated by a distance from top to bottom successively.Above-mentioned parts are arranged on the ceramic bases (substrate) 122 of control head flying height.The conductor layer (lead layer) 114 that also is provided with magnetoresistive element (magneto-resistive element) 112 between the described secondary shielding layer 111 and first screen layer 113 and is positioned at these magnetoresistive element 112 two ends and electrically connects with this magnetoresistive element 112.Adopt sedimentation or etching method to form on the surface of described ceramic matrix 122 such as patterns (pattern) 118 such as " contact of taking off, land ", " air cushion surface " and negative pressure cavities.Described magnetic head has a very smooth surface at 11 places, magnetic pole tip zone.Described smooth surface forms by the matrix of lapping magnetic heads usually.The roughness on the very smooth surface of described magnetic head is less than 0.3nm.Polish process (lapping process) also can help to control the pole tip depression.
For undersized hard disk drive (being generally known as miniature hard disk drive), taking off (take-off) and land (touch-down) performance when flying with respect to disk in order to improve magnetic head, industry increases air-supported surfaceness of magnetic head matrix usually, for example forms concavo-convex alternate little line (micro-texture) on the magnetic head matrix.With reference to figure 1d, described magnetic head matrix material is used AlTiC usually, and wherein AlTiC is Al 2O 3The mixing phase of (aluminium oxide) and TiC (titanium carbide) comprises embedding Al 2O 3Matrix mutually in and be higher than Al 2O 3The island TiC particle of matrix phase, the surface that this height rises and falls is air-supported that is formed with little line.
United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 010,429 and 5,052, disclosed the technology that employing sputtering technology (sputteringprocess) forms magnetic head matrix rough surface for No. 099.The object height of magnetic head matrix roughness (distance from the top to the bottom, promptly little line height) is about the 50-300 dust, and peak value (outburst area) width and peak separation are from being about the 5-20 micron.But this is for present magnetic head, and its little line height is excessive, and we need highly be the little line of 10 dusts to 50 dusts usually.
In order to obtain more optimal little line (micro-texture) on air-supported (ABS) of magnetic read/write magnetic head, with the further flying quality of improving magnetic head, industry works out a kind of improved manufacture method with magnetic head of little line.Shown in Fig. 1 c, this method comprises the steps: at first, and the microscler magnetic stripe that is made of plural magnetic head (row bar) is provided, and wherein each magnetic head comprises one air-supported and pole tip zone (pole tip region) provided thereon; Secondly, on air-supported of each magnetic head, form little line by etching technique; Then, on air-supported of microscler magnetic stripe, form diamond-like-carbon (DLC, diamond-like carbon) film.
