Title: Magnetic recording head with non-magnetic bump structure formed on spin torque oscillator
Inventor: KIMITOSHI ETOH
IPC: G11B5/31
Filed: 2016-01-19
Abstract: A microwave assisted magnetic write head 200 has a write pole 202 with a tapered trailing edge and a magnetic oscillator 216 formed on the trailing edge of the write pole. The magnetic oscillator is sandwiched between the magnetic write pole and a trailing magnetic shield 218. The write head also includes a non-magnetic, electrically conductive bump structure 220 located over a back portion of the magnetic oscillator between the magnetic oscillator and the trailing magnetic shield. The presence of the non-magnetic, electrically conductive bump structure causes electrons e to properly flow through the magnetic oscillator in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the plane of the magnetic oscillator, even when the magnetic oscillator is formed on an inclined plane on the tapered trailing edge of the write pole. This thereby ensures optimal performance of the magnetic oscillator.
