Abstract:
A method for forming an inductive write element, comprising the steps of:a. providing a first pole constructed of a soft magnetic material; b. depositing a high magnetic moment material upon said pole; c. depositing a bi-layer photoresist onto a portion of said high magnetic moment material; d. etching said high moment material to remove a portion of the high moment material not covered by said bi-layer photoresist; e. depositing a first insulation layer; f. removing said bi-layer photoresist; g. depositing a write gap material onto said first insulation layer and at least a pedestal portion of said high moment material; h. forming an electrical coil upon said write gap material; i. depositing a second insulation layer upon said write gap material and said electrically conductive coil; and j. forming a second pole over said second insulation layer and a portion of said write gap material, said second pole being electrically connected with said first pole at a location distal from said pedestal portion.
