Therefore, in FIG. 1A, the magnetic head portion 109 is disposed on the trailing side of the slider.
- the drive current of each component of the magnetic head unit 109 is fed by the wiring 108 and supplied to each component by the terminal 110.

- the opposing magnetic pole 6 extends toward the main magnetic pole 5 in the upper part of the drawing, and forms a magnetic circuit with each other. However, in the upper part of the drawing, it is assumed that it is electrically insulated. In the magnetic circuit, the magnetic lines of force form a closed circuit, and it is not necessary to be formed of only a magnetic material. Further, an auxiliary magnetic pole or the like may be arranged on the opposite side of the main magnetic pole 5 from the counter magnetic pole 6 to form a magnetic circuit. In this case, the main magnetic pole 5 and the auxiliary magnetic pole need not be electrically insulated.

- the magnetic recording medium 7 a medium in which the perpendicular recording film 122 was laminated on the substrate 120 via the intermediate layer 121 was used.
- the high-frequency magnetic field generating element 201 includes a first non-magnetic spin conductive layer that is in contact with the magnetization rotation layer 2 as the spin guide element 43 and the first perpendicular magnetic anisotropic layer as the rotation guide layer 43, and the magnetization rotation layer 2 as the spin rectification element 41.
- Two perpendicular magnetic anisotropic layers are stacked in the lateral direction between the main magnetic pole 5 and the counter magnetic pole 6. The directions of magnetization of the first and second perpendicular magnetic anisotropic layers are opposite to each other as shown by arrows in the drawing (direction perpendicular to the film surface).
- the direction of the spontaneous magnetization of the magnetization rotation layer 2 is in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the spontaneous magnetization of the rotation guide layer 43 and perpendicular to the film plane by the action of the rotation guide layer 43.

- the spin rectifier element 41 acts as a spin rectifier element for electrons, and supplies electrons whose spins are aligned in the right direction to the left magnetization rotation layer 2.
- the electrons supplied from the spin rectifier element 41 to the magnetization rotation layer 2 exert a spin torque on the magnetization rotation layer 2 and act to direct the magnetization of the magnetization rotation layer 2 to the right (Operation 1).
- an action (action 2) that attempts to turn to the left from the rotation guide layer 43 is in advance.
- the leakage magnetic field from the main magnetic pole 5 also acts to direct the magnetization of the magnetization rotation layer 2 in the direction (action 3).
- the direction of spontaneous magnetization of the magnetization rotation layer 2 is determined by the balance of action 1, action 2, and action 3, but torque is generated so as to restore the direction determined by action 2 and action 3, and the film surface Rotate at high speed.
- an alternating magnetic field is generated by direct current (hereinafter referred to as high frequency excitation current).
- the generated alternating magnetic field becomes maximum when the action 1, action 2, and action 3 cancel each other and the direction of the magnetization rotation layer 2 is in the film plane.
- the reason why the metal nonmagnetic spin conductive layer is provided on the surface in contact with the magnetization rotation layer 2 in the spin rectifying element 41 is to avoid the direct contact between the magnetic materials and to interact with each other, and to flow only spin (electrons). It is.
- the second perpendicular magnetic anisotropic layer can be in a state in which only spins in the magnetization direction can be extracted from electrons flowing from the counter magnetic pole 6.
- the direction of the action 3 is reversed by the polarity of the leakage magnetic field from the main magnetic pole 5.
- the generated AC magnetic field strength varies depending on the polarity of the leakage magnetic field from the main magnetic pole 5.
- the magnetic flux rectification layer 48 (lip) is designed so that the direction of the leakage magnetic field from the main magnetic pole 5 is adjusted and the magnetic field component parallel to the film surface of the magnetization rotation layer 2 is minimized.
- the spontaneous magnetization of the magnetization rotation layer 2 is fixed in this direction, and high-frequency oscillation cannot be performed.
- the direction of the action 1 is reversed and coincides with the direction of the action 2, so that no spontaneous magnetization component parallel to the film surface of the magnetization rotation layer 2 is generated. Can not.
- the magnetic flux rectifying layer 48 also functions as a spin rectification element for electrons, and takes away electrons whose spins are aligned in the magnetization direction of the main magnetic pole 5 from the magnetization rotation layer 2 or the rotation guide layer 43 on the right side.
- the spin torque acts to direct the magnetization of 2 in the direction opposite to the magnetization of the main magnetic pole 5 (action 4).
- the action 3 and the action 4 are opposite to each other, and the spin torque can be configured to work in a direction to suppress the influence of the magnetic field from the main magnetic pole on the magnetization rotating body. .
- FIG. 1D A prototype magnetic head having a conventional structure is shown in FIG. 1D.
- 3D magnetic field analysis software it is known that a magnetic field in the vertical direction of the drawing of about 0.1 MA / m is applied to the magnetization rotator layer 2. Magnetic recording was performed using a spin stand with a magnetic spacing of 5 nm and a track pitch of 20 nm, and this was reproduced by a GMR head with a shield interval of 20 nm. However, even if the magnitude and direction of the high-frequency excitation current were changed, the medium was changed. Even playback output was not obtained.
- a high frequency magnetic field detector 203 is disposed on the opposite side of the recording medium 7 with the high frequency magnetic field generating element 201 interposed therebetween, and the intensity of the microwave magnetic field is monitored.
- high frequency output was not obtained. This is presumably because the magnetization of the magnetization rotator layer 2 is magnetized in the direction of the leakage magnetic field by the leakage magnetic field of the main magnetic pole 5 and does not oscillate at high frequency.
- FIG. 2 shows the application direction of the effective magnetic field. The vertical direction as the z-direction, was applied to H a.
- H ext was applied in the direction opposite to the initial magnetization direction and inclined by ⁇ h from the vertical direction. Magnetization is reversed while rotating about the z axis from the + z direction to the ⁇ z direction.
- the application direction of the high-frequency magnetic field Hac is a horizontal direction, but an oscillating magnetic field in one direction can be decomposed into a counterclockwise component and a clockwise component as shown in the following equation.
- the clockwise component is a rotation opposite to the magnetization precession, so it is considered that it does not participate in resonance at all from the principle of magnetic resonance.

- the high-frequency magnetic field generating element 201 of this embodiment includes a metal nonmagnetic spin conduction layer 15, a first perpendicular magnetic anisotropic body 1, a magnetization rotator layer 2, a metal nonmagnetic spin conduction layer 3, and a second perpendicular magnetic anomaly.

By adopting the rectangular shape, shape anisotropy occurs, so that the magnetization of the magnetization rotator layer 2 is parallel to the ABS surface when not in an oscillation state, and unnecessary magnetization reversal due to a leakage magnetic field can be prevented.
- the length in the direction along the rectangular ABS surface is an important factor for determining the recording track width, and is set to 15 nm in this embodiment.

A thickness design of 8 was performed.
- the thickness of the magnetic flux rectifying layer 8 in this example was 11 nm, but this value depends on the above-mentioned rectangular shape, distance to the opposing magnetic pole and the situation, the situation of the medium used, and the situation of the magnetic circuit above the drawing. Dependent.
- As the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy 1 a hexagonal CoCrPt 001 plane was in the horizontal direction in the figure, and the magnetic anisotropy was 5.1 ⁇ 10 5 J / m 3 . .
- the material of the main magnetic pole 5 and the counter magnetic pole 6 was a CoFe alloy having a large saturation magnetization and almost no magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
- the magnetization rotator layer 2 was a CoFe alloy having a thickness of 20 nm with a large saturation magnetization and almost no magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
- the magnetization rotates at high speed in a plane substantially along the layer, and the leakage magnetic field from the magnetic pole appearing on the ABS surface acts as a high-frequency magnetic field.
- the magnetization rotation driving force source of the magnetization rotator layer 2 is a spin torque flowing from the second perpendicular magnetic anisotropy 4 (spin injection layer) through the metal nonmagnetic spin conduction layer 3.
- the metal nonmagnetic spin conductive layer 15 is provided at the interface between the magnetic flux rectifying layer 8 (lip) and the first perpendicular magnetic anisotropy 1, the leakage magnetic field from the main magnetic pole 5 is provided. It becomes possible to reduce the influence of polarity.
- the magnetic flux rectification layer 8 also acts as a spin rectification element for electrons, and takes the electrons whose spins are aligned in the magnetization direction of the main magnetic pole 5 from the first perpendicular magnetic anisotropy 1 on the right side and rotates the magnetization.
- spin torque acts to direct the magnetization of the layer 2 in the direction opposite to the magnetization of the main magnetic pole 5.
- the spin torque can be configured to work in a direction to suppress the influence of the magnetic field from the main magnetic pole on the magnetization rotator 2.
- it is necessary to flow a high-frequency excitation current from the main magnetic pole 5 side to the counter magnetic pole 6 side.
- the direction and magnitude of the high-frequency excitation current is controlled by the disk controller switching the polarity and gain of the IC amplifier 113.
- the spin torque action increases as the high-frequency excitation current (electron current) increases, and a CoFeB layer having a high polarizability is formed between the metal nonmagnetic spin conduction layer 3 and the metal nonmagnetic spin conduction layer 15 and the adjacent layer. Insertion increases by about 1 nm.
- metal nonmagnetic spin conductive layer 15 and the metal nonmagnetic spin conductive layer 3, Cu or the like which is a metal nonmagnetic material with high spin conductivity, may be used.
- L11 type CoPt 50 having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of 2.4 ⁇ 10 6 J / m 3 was used.
- Magnetization of the first perpendicular magnetic anisotropy body 1 and the second perpendicular magnetic anisotropy body 4 is performed by first applying a strong magnetic field at a high temperature to magnetize the second perpendicular magnetic anisotropy body 4. Subsequently, the first perpendicular magnetic anisotropic body 1 was magnetized by applying a magnetic field weaker than the first magnetic field in the reverse direction.
- the initial magnetization direction of the second perpendicular magnetic anisotropy 4 may be any as long as it is in the horizontal direction of the drawing, and does not define a current direction in which effective spin torque can be obtained.
- a recording medium having a recording layer having the following structure was formed on the substrate 19, and the characteristics were evaluated in combination with the magnetic head of this example. These magnetic films were continuously formed in vacuum by sputtering with different target compositions.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a main part of an evaluation apparatus created for evaluating the characteristics of the high-frequency magnetic field generating element used in the recording head part shown in FIG. From FIG. 5, the main magnetic main pole 5, the magnetic flux rectifying layer 8, the metal nonmagnetic spin conduction layer 15, and the counter magnetic pole 6 are removed, and a plus electrode 25 and a minus electrode 26 are added. In addition, an external magnetic field in the vertical direction of the drawing can be applied to the high-frequency magnetic field generating element (the upper direction is the positive direction in the drawing). A normal TMR element is used to detect the generation of the high-frequency magnetic field.
- the antiferromagnetic layer 31 was 15 nm-IrMn
- the pinned magnetic layer 32 was 10 nm-CoFe
- the free layer 37 was 10 nm-CoFe.
- the antiferromagnetic layer 31 was heat-treated so that the magnetization of the pinned magnetic layer 32 was in the reverse direction from the front of the drawing.
- the magnetization of the free layer 37 is given a weak anisotropy so as to face in the horizontal direction of the drawing.
- the magnetization rotator layer 2 and the first perpendicular magnetic anisotropy 1 or metal It was installed so that the interface with the magnetic spin conduction layer 3 would come.
- the number of high frequency magnetic field components perpendicular to the surface of the free layer 37 increases, and the sensitivity in the high frequency region can be increased. This is due to the effect that the magnetization of the free layer 37 having a magnetic moment moves in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field in a short time of nanosecond or less.
- FIG. 7 shows the dependence of the high-frequency magnetic field intensity generated from the high-frequency magnetic field generating element shown in FIG. 6 on the high-frequency excitation current.
- the external magnetic field is -0.4 MA / m (the magnetic field pointing downward in the drawing)
- the high-frequency magnetic field strength is larger than in other cases, but when the high-frequency excitation current exceeds 1 unit, oscillation is unstable. It has become.
- the high-frequency magnetic field strength increases with an increase in the high-frequency excitation current, decreases when the high-frequency excitation current exceeds 1 unit, and oscillation becomes unstable at a larger high-frequency excitation current.
- the high-frequency magnetic field is not output until the high-frequency excitation current reaches a certain level.
- the high-frequency magnetic field strength rapidly increases with the increase of the high-frequency excitation current, but the oscillation becomes unstable before reaching the maximum level in other cases.
- FIG. 8 shows the high frequency excitation current dependence of the frequency of the high frequency magnetic field generated from the high frequency magnetic field generating element shown in FIG. It can be seen that the frequency depends only on the high-frequency excitation current regardless of the external magnetic field.
- the high-frequency excitation current is strong, the oscillation is unstable, so that the maximum does not exceed 60 GHz. This is because when the magnetization rotation plane of the magnetization rotator layer 2 is in the opposite direction to the magnetization of the first perpendicular magnetic anisotropy 1, the strain in the first perpendicular magnetic anisotropy 1 becomes too large, This is probably because the exchange magnetic field cannot be transmitted sufficiently.
- the high-frequency excitation current value for the maximum high-frequency output varies depending on the polarity of the main magnetic pole, the high-frequency excitation current is changed in order to obtain the maximum high-frequency output. It can be understood that there is a possibility that the magnetic resonance of the medium may not be obtained because the high frequency changes. Therefore, the high-frequency excitation current value that does not change the high-frequency frequency and the high-frequency output depending on the polarity of the main magnetic pole must oscillate with the average value of the optimum high-frequency excitation current value determined by the polarity of the main magnetic pole. In this case, the high frequency output is 90% or less of the maximum output.
- magnetic recording was performed using a spin stand, a head medium relative speed of 20 m / s, a magnetic spacing of 5 nm, and a track pitch of 20 nm, and this was reproduced by a GMR head having a shield interval of 20 nm.
- the signal / noise ratio at 1000 kFCI was measured by changing the oscillation frequency by changing the high frequency excitation current, a maximum of 12.0 dB was obtained with the recording medium A-30 / 60, and the recording density barely exceeded 2 Tbits per square inch. It was found that the recording and playback of was achieved.
- the high frequency frequency at this time was 51 GHz.
- the spin torque mediated by the metal nonmagnetic spin conduction layer 15 is strengthened, and the effect of reducing the influence of the leakage magnetic field from the main magnetic pole 5 is increased.
- the maximum value of the signal / noise ratio is Recording / reproduction with a recording density exceeding 2T bits per square inch is not achieved, respectively, at 11.0 dB and 10.0 dB. This is considered that good recording (reversal) is not obtained because the high-frequency frequency deviates from the optimum writing value.
- the asymmetry of the reproduction signal becomes significant when the high frequency frequency deviates from 51 GHz. Therefore, the magnetic anisotropy magnetic field of the upper recording layer 17 in the recording medium 7 used in combination is 2
- the magnetic anisotropy magnetic field of the upper recording layer 17 in the recording medium 7 used in combination is 2
- recording media A-30 / 30, A-60 / 60, and A-60 / 30 were used, 13.0 dB, 4.0 dB, and 8.1 dB at maximum were obtained, respectively.
- the recording medium A-30 / 30 has no problem in the recording / reproducing characteristics, but the magnetization curve has a large magnetic field sweep speed dependency, and the recording magnetization may be thermally demagnetized.
- Recording medium A-60 / 60 is not sufficiently written. It is considered that the magnetic field from the main pole and the high frequency magnetic field strength and frequency do not reach the resonance condition.
- the recording medium A-60 / 30 has a lower recording layer in which the magnetic anisotropy of the lower recording layer 18 is smaller than the magnetic anisotropy of the upper recording layer 17 and is separated from the main pole 5 and the magnetization rotator layer 2. It is considered that a sufficient magnetic field does not reach 18.
- the magnetic head of this embodiment has a magnetic resonance frequency in which the recording medium of the recording medium used in combination has two or more recording layers, and the anisotropic magnetic field of the upper magnetic layer matches the optimum oscillation condition of the recording head unit 200. If the recording medium is used so that the asymmetry of the reproduction signal is not significant, the recording density can be increased.
- the assist effect is maximum, and when the high-frequency magnetic field strength is not 10% or more of H k , magnetization reversal does not occur even if the external magnetic field H ext is large.
- the assist effect is small, and the critical characteristic for the high frequency magnetic field strength seen at the optimum value is not seen.
- the switching time in the inversion region was found to be stable at 0.3-0.8 ns even when the write conditions were changed. This indicates that by making the high-frequency frequency slightly smaller than the optimum value, the assist effect is somewhat sacrificed, but there is a possibility that recording with less leftover or writing blur can be performed. Conversely, when the high frequency is greater than the optimum value, the assist effect is greatly reduced.
- FIG. 10 shows the high-frequency frequency dependence of the external magnetic field H ext required for magnetization reversal for media with H k of 1.2 MA / m (30 kOe) and 3.6 MA / m (45 kOe) (medium saturation magnetization is 1.1 T). It shows sex.
- the necessary external magnetic field has an optimum frequency f opt that has a minimum value, and gradually increases when the frequency deviates from the optimum value.
- the value is about 70%. This corresponds to the fact that the magnitude of the anisotropic magnetic field changes with H k cos ⁇ m when ⁇ m is an angle formed between the magnetization and the easy axis of magnetization. That is, it is suggested that the assist energy by magnetic resonance is mainly supplied when the magnetization is separated from the easy axis of magnetization to some extent. Even if the saturation magnetization of the magnetic particles changes, no significant change is observed, but a slightly higher frequency is required when the saturation magnetization is larger. This is considered to be because magnetization is stabilized by the influence of a static magnetic field.
- FIG. 12 shows the state of inversion for mediums having different H k , changing H ac and H ext at the optimum frequency.
- H ac / H k less than 0.1 are not reversed almost magnetization, assisting effect (H ext for magnetization reversal from Stoner-Wohlfarth field Is not seen).
- H ac / H k exceeds 0.1 an assist effect is observed, and reversal is possible when the external magnetic field is about 30% of H k .
- H ac / H k is about 0.3, so that no external magnetic field is required.
- H ac / H k exceeds 0.3 the magnetization is greatly oscillated by the high-frequency magnetic field, so that a re-inversion phenomenon of magnetization occurs and stable writing (inversion) cannot be expected.
- a recording medium having a structure in which a plurality of magnetic layers having different magnetic anisotropy magnetic fields is laminated is used as the magnetic recording medium, and the oscillation frequency of the alternating magnetic field generated from the magnetic head is changed to the magnetic anisotropy of the recording medium.
- FIG. 12 shows that the high-frequency magnetic field strength necessary for inversion is constant regardless of the external magnetic field strength at the optimum frequency. Therefore, in the actual recording process, when the high frequency magnetic field strength changes greatly when exiting the reversible state, a sharper magnetization reversal boundary may be formed on the medium. That is, the high frequency magnetic field strength is first increased, the magnetic field from the main pole is subsequently increased and recorded, and the high frequency magnetic field strength is attenuated immediately thereafter. This indicates that it is more preferable to move the head in the direction opposite to the head traveling direction of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 or to reverse the structure of FIG. . This will be verified in the second embodiment.

- a film 209 is formed.
- FIG. 15 shows a configuration example of the recording head unit of the information processing apparatus of this embodiment.

- FIG. 15 shows the arrangement of the main magnetic pole 5 and the counter magnetic pole 6 in alignment with FIG. 5. That is, the configuration of the recording head unit shown in this drawing corresponds to the configuration of the magnetic head shown in FIGS. 14A to 14D viewed from the back side of the drawing. Note that the configuration of the recording head unit itself is the same as that of the first embodiment, and therefore, detailed description thereof is omitted.

After a continuous film was formed on the substrate 19 by sputtering, a magnetic pattern having a track direction length of 15 nm and a down track direction of 9 nm was formed by EB mastering. Thereafter, the continuous film was etched, and the above magnetic material pattern was formed so as to be arranged with a pitch of 20 nm in the track width direction and a pitch of 12.5 nm in the track circumferential direction.

- the damping constant ⁇ of the upper recording layer 17 and the lower recording layer 18 was 0.20 and 0.02, respectively.
- the damping constant ⁇ is large without using an artificial lattice structure.
- the above recording medium was set on a spin stand, magnetic recording was performed with a head medium relative speed of 20 m / s, a magnetic spacing of 5 nm, and a track pitch of 20 nm, and this was reproduced by a GMR head having a shield interval of 20 nm. Recording / reproduction characteristics were measured by combining the magnetic head shown in FIG. 15 with the recording medium thus prepared. In the measurement, the current intensity supplied between the main magnetic pole and the counter magnetic pole was changed to change the oscillation frequency, and the recording pattern was set to 1000 kFCI.

- the reversal strength of the magnetizations of the upper and lower magnetic layers is a high-frequency magnetic field when the magnetic anisotropy magnetic field and the damping constant of the upper magnetic layer and the lower magnetic layer are the following four types. It is the figure which mapped how it changed depending on intensity

- the inversion time was the time from when the high frequency magnetic field was applied until the magnetization was inverted by 95% or more.
- FIG. 18 shows the inversion state with respect to the high frequency and the external magnetic field strength when the high frequency magnetic field strength is 0.4 MA / m and ( ⁇ upper part , ⁇ lower part ) is (0.2, 0.02). is there. It can be seen that the large reversal required external magnetic field is reduced at the optimum high frequency of the upper recording layer 17.
- the lower magnetic anisotropy magnetic field of the upper recording layer 17 is considered to be recordable by a high-frequency magnetic field having a low frequency and an external magnetic field, and at least the magnetic anisotropy exceeding the half of the magnetic field created by the main magnetic pole 5 at the center of the recording layer. A magnetic field is required.
- the thermal fluctuation of the magnetization of the upper recording layer 17 is increased and the probability of becoming an assist condition is increased. Therefore, it is considered that the time until magnetization reversal is shortened.

- the rotation of the magnetization of the magnetization rotation layer is stabilized, and the resistance against the pinning magnetic field component leaked and applied from the outside such as the main pole in the direction of the rotation plane is improved.
- the relationship between the magnetic head slider and the suspension is the same as in FIG. 1A, and the configuration of the entire magnetic head including the recording head portion and the reproducing head portion is the same as in FIG.
- the overall configuration of the information processing apparatus is the same as the configuration shown in FIGS. That is, as a basic configuration of the magnetic head, it is assumed that the counter magnetic pole is disposed at the trailing end and the main magnetic pole is disposed on the leading side with respect to the counter magnetic pole.

- a second magnetic flux rectifying layer 13 is formed on the leading side of the end of the air bearing surface of the counter magnetic pole 6.
- the metal non-magnetic spin scatterer layer 12 is affected by the second magnetic flux rectifying layer 13 and the magnetic rotator layer 2 that may cancel the effect of the spin torque flowing from the magnetic flux rectifying layer 8 into the magnetization rotator layer 2. Has the effect of scattering the spin flowing into the. Alternatively, it can be said that the spin torque is prevented from flowing out from the magnetization rotator layer 2 side to the magnetic flux rectifying layer 13. Therefore, when the metal nonmagnetic spin scatterer layer 12 is used, the current for obtaining the required spin torque can be reduced. This effect is particularly great when Ru is used as the metal nonmagnetic spin scatterer layer 12.
- the main magnetic pole 5 and the magnetic flux rectifying layer 8 are injected. Since the horizontal magnetization component in the magnetic flux rectifying layer 8 can be increased by providing an extremely thin oxide layer or nonmagnetic layer at the interface of the magnetic layer to reduce the exchange coupling between the magnetic bodies, the operation of the magnetization rotating body layer 2 becomes stable.

- a high-resolution recording magnetization pattern can be formed using the assist magnetic field from the high-frequency magnetic field generating element 201 that defines the track width while increasing the magnetic field from the main magnetic pole 5 for which the generated magnetic field strength is to be increased. It becomes possible.
- the recording magnetic field of about 0.9 MA / m was obtained by setting the shape of the main pole 5 on the ABS surface to a width of 80 nm in the track width direction and a thickness of 100 nm in the head running direction. When these widths and thicknesses are increased, the magnetic field intensity from the main pole increases, but the magnetic field gradient decreases, so in conventional magnetic recording, the resolution was increased by conversely reducing the width and thickness. .
- the magnetic flux rectifying layer 8 is made of a material having the same or larger saturation magnetization as the main magnetic pole 5, and the magnetic flux rectifying layer using 3D magnetic field analysis software so that the magnetic field from the main magnetic pole 5 is perpendicular to the layer direction of the magnetization rotating body layer 2.
- a thickness design of 8 was performed.
- the thickness of the magnetic flux rectifying layer 8 in this example was 10 nm.
