Patent
Magnetic heads for perpendicular recording with trapezoidal pole tips
TL;DR: In this article, the authors disclosed that magnetic transducers have write poles with a leading edge that is smaller than a trailing edge, which can reduce erroneous writing for perpendicular recording systems and may have a trapezoidal shape when viewed from a direction of an associated medium.
Patent
Magnetic head with low stack height and self-aligned pole tips
TL;DR: In this article, a stack of pole tip layers is covered over and around with a protective layer, which is then planarized such that the stack of layers is exposed, and an inductive coil layer is deposited on the etched protective layer and covered with an overlying magnetic yoke layer.
Patent
Spin-dependent tunneling sensor suitable for a magnetic memory
TL;DR: In this article, a method and system for providing a top-pinned spin-dependent tunneling sensor is described. But the method is not suitable for the application of high-pressure applications.
Patent
Inductive transducer with stitched pole tip and pedestal defining zero throat height
Yingjian Chen,Xizeng Shi,Hugh C. Hiner,Zi-Wen Dong,Francis H. Liu,Matthew R. Gibbons,Joyce Thompson,William D. Jensen,C. Chien,Yugang Wang +9 more
TL;DR: An inductive transducer with first and second magnetic pedestals disposed between the pole layers and adjacent to a media-facing surface, the pedestals separated by a submicron, nonmagnetic gap is described in this article.
Patent
Magnetic tunnel junction MRAM with improved stability
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic sheath allows a magnetic field to circulate in a loop around the bit line, which can couple with the magnetic field of the free layer for enhanced stability with respect to stray magnetic fields and elevated temperatures.
