Embodiment
Accompanying drawing, particularly Figure 1A-1D have showed that air-supported (ABS) at the magnetic read/write magnetic head goes up the process that forms little line, described magnetic head can be the magnetic head of 30% (pico) or 20% magnetic head, as previously mentioned, described magnetic read/write magnetic head can move on the surface scribbles the surface of spinning disk of one deck magnetic material.The magnetic read/write magnetic head has one air-supported (ABS), reads or write data towards the magnetic recording surface and from this magnetic recording surface.With reference to Figure 1A, described magnetic read/write magnetic head 10 comprises a surface 12 that is positioned on the disk and faces the magnetic recording surface (not shown) of disk.Described surperficial 12 are made into ABS by following flow process.
At first, described surperficial 12 will make it smooth through fine lapping, and surfaceness reaches 0.2-0.4nm, shown in Figure 1A.On the surface 12 of grinding, plate one deck protective layer then, for example diamond-like-carbon (DLC) layer.Next, surface 12 will experience a series of processing procedure, comprises photoetching (photolithography) and ion etching, thereby forms the groove (or step) 14 that is used for controlling air-flow and pressure on surface 12.On surface 12, form little line (illustrating) subsequently, shown in Fig. 1 C with hacures.Then further handle and finish the processing of the ABS face shown in Fig. 1 D.
Selectively, shown in Fig. 2 A-2D, the surface 12 of described magnetic head 10, processed and form little line (micro-texture) after being ground and plate diamond like carbon carbon-coating (ginseng Fig. 2 A), shown in Fig. 2 B hacures.Then, shown in Fig. 2 C, on surface 12, form groove 14 (or step), then further handle and finish the processing of the ABS shown in Fig. 2 D.
Light shield comprises positive polarity photoresist light shield and negative polarity photoresist light shield, can be used to protect the specific region on the surface 12 in forming the process of little line, magnetic pole tips for example, thus little line can be formed on these zones.
Can utilize chemical vapour deposition technique (CVD), ion beam depositing method (IBD) and filtering cathode arc method (FCA) on the magnetic read/write magnetic head, to form protective seam (overcoat) traditionally.Generally speaking, the technology of formation protective seam generally included for three steps: prerinse, plating supporting layer (adhesion layer) and coating diamond-like carbon-coating (DLC).
Described magnetic head is cleaned in air usually, in the vacuum processing chamber that is evacuated of packing into then.Organic solvent when magnetic head can absorb moisture, carbon dioxide even erase head with processed surface usually in air.During prerinse, by inert gas, for example argon carries out plasma etching or ion beam milling and removes surface contamination with processed magnetic head.Through etching process, the minute quantity material is removed from the magnetic head matrix surface, and marked change does not take place the roughness on surface yet.In other words, the surfaceness of magnetic head (Ra) still remains on about 0.3nm.
After the prerinse, on the processed surface of magnetic head, plate one deck supporting layer.The most handy silicon of described supporting layer forms, because silicon can make easier the plating of diamond-like-carbon layer (DLC layer).In addition, when the coating diamond-like carbon-coating, as presoma (precursor), and pure graphite post (graphite cylinder) is used as the FCA target in CVD technology and IBD technology for methane or ethene.
The present invention to form a little line and improves pre-wash step in order to go up in the AlTiC of magnetic head 10 substrate (" the magnetic read/write magnetic head base material " that comprise the TiC of 64% Al2O3 and 36%).This step can utilize existing equipment to finish under the situation that does not increase the processing time substantially, and this makes technology of the present invention very practical.The present invention can pass through several common process, comprises that plasma etching process and ion beam milling technology realize, will describe respectively below.
Fig. 3 has showed an equipment that carries out plasma etching process, is used for forming on the matrix of magnetic read/write magnetic head little line.With the magnetic head of array format, also be called magnetic stripe (rowbar), be fixed on the delivery pallet, described delivery pallet is adorned/is unloaded port one 02 by one and packs in the described equipment.In the present invention, use a mechanical arm 104 the delivery pallets from the vacuum transfer 106 of adorning/unloading port one 02 and move on to described equipment.Then, described vacuum transfer 106 is pumped into the vacuum with predetermined pressure, and then, described delivery pallet is moved in the plasma etching chamber 108.
Next carry out plasma etching process, the plasma etching chamber 108 that the delivery pallet of receiving is housed in it is evacuated to predetermined pressure, a kind of processing gas, for example the mixed gas of oxygen or oxygen-inert gas is introduced in the plasma etching chamber 108 through mass flow controller (MFC) valve (not marking).After pending gas was introduced, plasma was lighted.There are several modes can produce plasma.The most frequently used plasma is exactly direct capacitance coupling plasma or the inductively coupled plasma that utilizes radio-frequency voltage to produce.Certainly, also can for example strengthen microwave source and produce plasma with the method for some newly-developeds with electron cyclotron resonace.Among the present invention, the key point that forms little line is to regulate substrate bias (substrate bias).The capacitive coupling plasma can produce self-bias in substrate, but for additive method, must apply extra voltage and can produce substrate bias in substrate.
Through after the schedule time, described plasma is closed.The Desired Height that forms little line on magnetic head is depended in the setting of time.
Next, the delivery pallet is moved to plating silicon chamber 110 by mechanical arm 104, there, plates one deck silicon by sputtering method (sputtering) on the matrix surface of magnetic head.
Then, described delivery pallet is transplanted in a-C:H (hydrogeneous diamond like carbon) or ta-C (diamond like carbon of the tetrahedron of no hydrogen (tetrahedral carbon)) the plating chamber 112 by mechanical arm 104, there, the magnetic head matrix surface is coated with the diamond like carbon carbon-coating (DLC layer) that one deck has expectation thickness.
The key factor that influences plasma etching process comprises the type of handling gas, pressure, etch voltage and the etching period of process chamber.The present invention is used for the etching gas of plasma etching process according to Al 2O 3Can be the mixed gas of oxygen, argon gas or oxygen and inert gas with the ratio of TiC.In the present invention, oxygen is to Al 2O 3Etch-rate very fast, then slower to the etch-rate of TiC.Described processing gas flow speed is controlled to reach desired pressure by mass flow controller (MFC), and the working pressure of process chamber described here is made as 1.0Pa.
Being used for power supply of the present invention can adjust according to described equipment, and it can produce plasma and provide bias voltage on processed magnetic head in plasma etching process.In one embodiment of the invention, described magnetic head is applied in the DC auto-bias of a 300V.The purpose that forms bias voltage is the physical etch of carrying out the oxygen domination.
Etching period is decided according to the expectation bench height of little line.Usually, if the bench height of little line requires to about 4nm, etching period should be decided to be about 5 minutes.
As improvement to above-mentioned processing procedure, newly-increased step: the magnetic head that has had ABS pattern (Pattern) on it is handled and changed its original ABS surfaceness.This newly-increased step is placed at magnetic head carries out after plasma etching chamber 108 backs and plasma etching chamber 108 are evacuated.Light plasma and etch away the original protective seam (overcoat) that is present on the magnetic head in the plasma etching chamber 108 of being pumped into vacuum, this protective seam comprises silicon layer and carbon (adamas) layer.Then, under the prerequisite of the vacuum state that does not destroy plasma etching chamber 108, aforementioned processing gas is introduced into plasma etching chamber 108, then handles gas etching magnetic head once more with this.Like this, form little line of expection on described magnetic head, it is coated with silicon and DLC subsequently.
Another example of the present invention is a said plasma etching above replacing with ion beam milling (IBE).The equipment of execution IBE technology as shown in Figure 4.The process that forms little line with ion beam etching method on the magnetic read/write magnetic head is as follows: at first, the delivery pallet of carrying magnetic stripe is inserted in the vacuum processing chamber 202, and will deliver pallet with product retaining means 204 and fix, described product retaining means 204 can tilt between 0 to 90 degree.Then, described vacuum processing chamber 202 is evacuated to predetermined pressure.
Next, handling gas, oxygen for example, perhaps the mixed gas of oxygen and inert gas is incorporated in first ion gun 206, and described ion gun 206 is separated by first gate 208 and product retaining means 204.Then, light neutralizing agent (neutralizer) and plasma in the ion gun 206.After a while, plasma has just settled out after lighting.
After plasma was stable, product retaining means 204 was tilted a predetermined angular, and gate 208 is opened, thereby allowed plasma bombardment to be fixed on magnetic head on the delivery pallet to carry out the prerinse to magnetic head.This moment, the internal pressure of process chamber was approximately 0.03-0.05Pa.
After after a while, gate 208 is closed once more, and the power supply of ion gun 206 and neutralizer also will be closed.Described process chamber 202 is evacuated once more, described delivery pallet tilts to another predetermined direction, and handle by second ion gun 210 and silicon target material 214, wherein, described second ion gun 210 is covered by second gate 212, and described silicon target material 214 is isolated by the 3rd gate 216 and product retaining means 204.Silicon layer is plated on the described magnetic head like this.
Then, described delivery pallet is tilted to adjust and gets back on the position of first ion gun 206, but current ion gun 206 used source gas are changed to C 2H 4, purpose is a plating C:H layer.The used processing time in this stage is depended on the expectation thickness and the rate of sedimentation of the C:H layer that plates.
Influencing the key factor that the ion etching method forms little line comprises: handle the type of gas, the incident angle of ion beam, etch voltage and etching period.The present invention is in order to make Al 2O 3Bigger selectance is arranged on TiC, and used processing gas is the mixed gas of oxygen, argon gas or oxygen and inert gas in ion beam milling technology.Consider the pole tip depression of magnetic head, just must regulate ion beam incident angle.For the pole tip form of adaptive expectation, the configuration of surface before pole tip material and the prerinse is the important consideration factor when adjusting incident angle.
Etch voltage can be regulated by the grid voltage that can form accelerating field, and radio-frequency power supply (radio-frequency (RF) power) can be regulated the ionization ratio in the ion gun.Optimum etch voltage is determined by required etch quantity, processing time, plasma degree of stability and static discharge damage (electrical static charge damaging).Etching period is then set by the Desired Height of little line and previous energy incident angle and is determined.
In the present invention, with reference to figure 5, described AlTiC surface through after the above-mentioned processing, forms one and has clearly little line of two rank (two-step) structure, and described little line comprises TiC 51 top steps and aluminium oxide 52 base frame rank.The height of described little line can be measured with atomic force microscope (AFM), and measured region area is 20 microns of 20 microns X, adopts leveling method (flatten method) to remove the influence of atomic force microscope cantilever arc (cantileverbow) here.
With reference to figure 5A, do not handle through technology of the present invention, on the AlTiC surface, just there are not clearly two stage structures.This is because through grinding, two kinds of hard materials that mechanical system is removed: aluminium oxide and titanium carbide have same clearance.And when using argon gas traditionally and removing surface contamination, have only very little selectance when removing the aluminium oxide on the titanium carbide.The invention provides a kind of little line, clearly illustrated two kinds of materials difference in height with clear two stage structures.Described bench height or little line height depend on the processing time.Through 20 seconds processing, the bench height of described little line can reach 2nm, ginseng Fig. 5 B; Through 40 seconds processing, the bench height of described little line can reach 3nm, ginseng Fig. 5 C; Through 60 seconds processing, the bench height of described little line can reach 4nm, ginseng Fig. 5 D.
Little line height can influence taking off (take-off) of magnetic read/write magnetic head and land (touch-down) performance.From following table, can be clear that this point.
Project Little line height (nm) Landing (atm.) * (atm.) takes off **
1 <1 0.60 1.00
2 2 0.55 0.66
3 3 0.58 0.69
4 4 0.57 0.72
* landing (atm.): magnetic head can drop to the maximum pressure on the disk.
* takes off (atm.): the minimum pressure that magnetic head can take off from disk.
Lower value and landing have preferably stability with different magnetic heads that mean between taking off.
Among the present invention, described substrate is not limited to above-mentioned AlTiC, the mixture of two kinds of different materials: 64% Al 2O 3(aluminium oxide) and 36% TiC (titanium carbide).Here, Al 2O 3Be the bottom material, TiC is island second phase (island-like second phase).The particle size of AlTiC is about 1 micron.When the particle size of AlTiC changed, little line of the present invention forms technology can obtain essentially identical effect, and only the density of island second phase is different, shown in Fig. 5 E.
Above disclosed only is the preferred embodiments of the present invention, can not limit the present invention's interest field certainly with this, and therefore the equivalent variations of being done according to the present patent application claim still belongs to the scope that the present invention is contained.
