Patent ID: 8896966

Claim:
A magnetic write head comprising: a magnetic write pole extending to an air bearing surface; a magnetic return pole, magnetically connected with said write pole in a region removed from said air bearing surface; a write coil arranged around said write pole so as to induce a magnetic flux in said write pole when electrical current flows through said write coil, said write coil comprising: a plurality of lower coil portions positioned on a first side of said write pole; a plurality of upper coil portions positioned on a second side of said write pole opposing said first side; wherein said plurality of upper coil portions comprises at least one upper coil portion immediately adjacent to a main pole of said write pole but for only an atomic-layer-deposited insulation layer between said main pole and said at least one upper coil portion; and a plurality of electrically conductive tabs each connecting a lower coil portion with an upper coil portion.
