Magnetic head is before use, a series of performance tests must be carried out, such as resistance to elevated temperatures, dynamic fly height (dynamicflyingheight, DFH) performance, signal to noise ratio (Signal-to-NoiseRatio, SNR) performance, reliability, stability etc. Such as, one has the magnetic head of poor resistance to elevated temperatures, and it can produce a large amount of noises in high temperature environments. If magnetic head has poor SNR performance, damaging the read stability of magnetic head, finally affect the reading performance of magnetic head, therefore, the performance test of magnetic head seems very important and necessary.
Following method is a kind of traditional method testing MR read head. As shown in Figure 1, this MR read head 10 comprises two hard magnetic 112, layer is sandwiched between two hard magnetic 112 MR element 114 and be positioned over MR element 114 and two screen layers 116 on hard magnetic 112 both sides. Known to all, the resistance of MR element can change with the change of external magnetic field, thus the output making MR read head changes. Therefore, apply one have be parallel to screen layer 116 and with the air bearing face 117 (airbearingsurface of MR read head 10, ABS) magnetic field in the direction 19 (being hereafter called " general direction of magnetization ") of 0 �� is become, thus measure the output voltage of MR read head, repeat this kind of operation, then calculating the change of the difference between the highest output voltage and minimum output voltage, the change of this kind of difference is for estimating exporting change whether within a certain permissible value.If exporting change is outside permissible value, then this tested magnetic head is judged as bad magnetic head and is rejected.

Thus, in the case, the noise figure of the output occurring in MR element 32 is measured, and then identifies this tested magnetic head and can produce potential deformation in high temperature environments thus produce noise.
But, due to magnetic head need to repeated test under the hot environment repeatedly changed, therefore temperature selection and control need very accurate. If temperature is too high, then can there is the possibility damaged by good product magnetic head in the process of test.
Again and, aforesaid method is only applicable to be embedded with the magnetic head of heating unit, the method then cannot be adopted to carry out resistance to elevated temperatures test for not having the magnetic head of heating unit.

As mentioned above, it is necessary, the essence of the present invention is to provide a kind of method testing magnetic head resistance to elevated temperatures, it applies magnetic field to be perpendicular to the direction of screen layer to magnetic head, thus filters out the defect magnetic head occurring bad performance when using in high temperature environments.
Traditional magnetic head for head-slider generally comprises for reading the read head of data from disk and write the writing head of data to disk. Read head is made up of a MR read head usually, such as, have current-perpendicular-to-the-plane type (CPP), electric current at the read head such as plane inner mold (CIP), TMR, GMR or AMR. For ease of understanding, the present invention only describes emphatically CPP-TMR read head. Obviously, those skilled in the art are after reading this specification, it is understood that the present invention is being applied to the situation of other read heads.
Fig. 3 a illustrates a magnetic head 200, and it comprises substrate body 201, relative ABS202 and bottom surface (not shown) and relative front 203 and tail limit (not shown). This ABS202 is machined to suitable flight height. Front 203 is provided with MR read head 210 and writing head 220, specifically, as shown in Figure 3 b, this MR read head 210 comprises and is formed in the first screen layer 211 on a substrate (not shown), the 2nd screen layer 212, and layer presss from both sides the MR element 230 between this first, second screen layer 211,212.Wherein, being provided with one in the both sides of MR element 230 to hard magnetosphere 240, the same layer of this hard magnetosphere 240 is sandwiched between this first, second screen layer 211,212.
Apply to have first magnetic field of first party to 291 to MR read head 210, this first party is perpendicular to ABS202 to 291, namely the first magnetic field with ABS202 in 90 �� through ABS202, this first party is called as " transverse direction " to 291. Under the design of the present invention, can applying to have to MR read head 201 the 2nd magnetic field of second direction 292, to test performance and the characteristic of MR read head 210, this second direction 292 is perpendicular to first, second screen layer 211,212. Specificly, in the example of reality, this second direction 292 can be worn to the 2nd screen layer 212 (being hereafter called visually in " outflow direction ") from the first screen layer 211, or wears to the first screen layer 211 (being hereafter called visually " inflow direction ") from the 2nd screen layer 212. This outflow direction and inflow direction are all in 90 �� with first, second screen layer 211,212. As a kind of manifestation, it is negative value that this kind flows out the magnetic field in direction, and the magnetic field of inflow direction is for be just worth.
Applying first party is respectively show to the sectional view of 291 and the MR read head 210 in the magnetic field of second direction 292 to 291 and second direction 292, Fig. 4 a and Fig. 4 b for understanding first party better. Wherein, Fig. 4 a illustrates second direction 292, Fig. 4 b in inflow direction and illustrates the second direction 292 flowing out direction.
Fig. 5 is the schema that the present invention tests an embodiment of the method for magnetic head resistance to elevated temperatures. The method comprises the following steps:
Step (501), applies the first magnetic field of multiple varying strength with first party to 291 to magnetic head 210, and measures the first output parameter curve C 1;
Step (502), repeats to apply with second direction 292 the 2nd magnetic field of varying strength, applies the first magnetic field of change simultaneously with first party to 291, and measure multiple 2nd output parameter curve C 2��Cn; And
Step (503), judges whether there is, in the first output parameter curve C 1 and the 2nd output parameter curve C 2��Cn, the change exceeding permissible value, thus filters out bad magnetic head.
If the change being presented on curve is outside the scope of permissible value, then this tested magnetic head is judged as the bad magnetic head manifesting not good performance (as produced a large amount of noises) in high temperature environments, thus is rejected; Otherwise it is salable product. As one performance, huge change presents the maximum transition that a transition rate is greater than 8%. In other words, if the transition rate of this maximum transition is greater than 8%, then this tested magnetic head is defective products. Intuitively, this defective products can present violent shake on output curve.
Specificly, using output voltage as output parameter in the present invention, certainly under the design of the present invention, other output parameters, as resistance, signal to noise ratio etc. also can use.
As for for the testing time of a magnetic head and the selection of magneticstrength, then depend on actual demand and determine. Contriver's discovery applies the identical multiple positive flux field of absolute value respectively and multiple negative fluxfield is tested, and test result and test precision are all better. Detailed description is hereafter describing.
Fig. 6 a��6i illustrates the present invention based on the embodiment shown in Fig. 5, tests a preferred embodiment of the method for magnetic head resistance to elevated temperatures. In the present embodiment, magnetic head is carried out the magnetization of nine times and measures the operation of output voltage. The scope of the intensity in the first magnetic field and the 2nd magnetic field is-800Oe��800Oe.Specifically, the first magnetic field applying within the scope of-800Oe��800Oe to 291 to magnetic head 210 to be perpendicular to the first party of ABS202, the 2nd magnetic field in second direction 292 is then 0Oe simultaneously, and then measures the first output voltage curve C 1. Specificly, this operation is recycled three times, therefore has three curves in each graphic representation in test each time.
Equally, for the 2nd output voltage curve, the sampling in the first magnetic field is between-800Oe��800Oe. The sampling in the 2nd magnetic field is then 0Oe, 50Oe, 100Oe, 150Oe, 200Oe ,-50Oe ,-100Oe ,-150Oe and-200Oe. Specifically, multiple the first magnetic field between-800Oe��800Oe is applied to 291 to magnetic head 210 to be perpendicular to the first party of ABS202, simultaneously to be perpendicular to first, second screen layer 211,212 and to wear, from the 2nd screen layer 212, the 2nd magnetic field that the second direction 292 (i.e. inflow direction) to the first screen layer 211 applies 50Oe, measure the 2nd output voltage curve C 2 with this. And when the magnetic field of negative value must be applied, then wear the second direction 292 (namely flowing out direction) to the 2nd screen layer 212 apply corresponding magnetic field to be perpendicular to first, second screen layer 211,212 and to cover layer 211 from first. Repeat this kind of magnetization operation and measurement until the data in the 2nd above-mentioned magnetic field are all tested, finally measure output voltage parameter curve C 3��C9.
In above-mentioned graphic representation, transverse axis represents magneticstrength, represents the magneticstrength (unit is Oe) in the first magnetic field specificly, and the longitudinal axis represents the output voltage (unit be �� V) of tested magnetic head after magnetization.
In graphic representation C1��C9 visible, C6, C7, C8, C9 all occur bigger transition, the intensity in its 2nd magnetic field is-50Oe ,-100Oe ,-150Oe and-200Oe respectively. Wherein, C6 occurs maximum transition, learn that its transition rate is 14.8% through calculating, be far longer than permissible value 8%. Therefore, can judge that this tested magnetic head is as bad magnetic head, can produce a large amount of noises when this bad magnetic head uses in high temperature environments according to this.
Fig. 7 a��7i illustrates the test curve adopting aforesaid method to be tested by another magnetic head. Therefrom visible, in the middle of the output voltage curve of C7, C8, present bigger transition, the intensity in its 2nd magnetic field is-100Oe and-150Oe respectively. Specifically, C8 occurs maximum transition, learn that its transition rate is 15.7% through calculating. Equally, therefore, if a large amount of noises can be produced when this tested magnetic head uses in high temperature environments, it is defective products.
Contriver adopts the testing method of the present invention that the sampling of a large amount of magnetic head was carried out test, it has been found that the test precision of the testing method of the present invention is good, up to 75%. In the present invention, two typical embodiments are only enumerated.
