Abstract:
Magnetic sensors with effectively shaped side shields and their fabrication processes are provided. One such sensor includes a substrate, a sensor stack disposed on the substrate and having a stripe height, where the sensor stack further includes a front edge disposed at an air bearing surface (ABS) of the magnetic sensor, a back edge opposite of the front edge, and two side edges, and a side shield adjacent to each of the two side edges of the sensor stack, each side shield having a side shield height defined as a distance from the ABS to a back edge of the side shields, where the side shield height is greater than the stripe height, and where substantially no residue from materials used to form the side shield are disposed at the back edge of the sensor stack.

Claim (Index 1):
A magnetic sensor comprising:\n a substrate; a sensor stack, comprising a free layer and a pinned layer wherein a stripe height of the pinned layer is greater than a stripe height of the free layer, disposed on the substrate and having a stripe height defined by the stripe height of the free layer, wherein the sensor stack comprises:\n a front edge disposed at an air bearing surface (ABS) of the magnetic sensor; \n a back edge opposite of the front edge; and \n two side edges; and \n a side shield adjacent to each of the two side edges of the sensor stack, each side shield having a side shield height defined as a distance from the ABS to a back edge of the side shields; wherein the side shield height is greater than the stripe height, and wherein substantially no residue from materials used to form the side shield are disposed at the back edge of the sensor stack.
